Boys and girls I have the solution!!!! After about 6 months of this same problem and searching in countless forums I have now found the answer. I too thought it was a router or ISP provider problem but no......it is a simple setting on the PS3.
Check that PSN is not down, it will save you some time : https://status.playstation.com/en-us/
If down, this page will look red like this:
I promise this works.....goodluck ! I dont know why but it is and I found it here if you want to double check.
- simply go to media server settings in your PS3 and disable the streaming media servers. I tried this and it worked immediately. no restarting or anything.

Dear Savior, Thank you so much for your post to disable servers. For over a week I have waited for Activision or Sony to fix the problem. I am so happy and grateful that I came up on your post.

I can't find media settings
What you all need to understand is that there is no magic answer to fix these problems. In many cases a new router is NOT the answer. Most people just do not know jack shit about networking and wireless. Which is fine, however the real problem is that these console game manufacturers can't program their games online play easy enough for networking noobs. So any smuck can go hook up a wireless router and get wireless. But configuring DMZ, firewalls, understand what a port and IP is that is not stuff that typical console gamers have a clue about. Quit blaming the router manufacturers because they do a much better job.
The best help you can receive is this:
- Open necessary ports for PS3
- Open any ports used specifically by the game (which is retarded they don't use standard PS3 ports)
- If your router supports UPnP enable it (caution this is a security risk UPnP is a horrible idea)
- Make sure your wireless connection is strong
Now you might say I am being too general, "I need it step by step". Well I'm sorry to tell you, that you must figure out yourself. Reason is that everyone has a different router many from different manufacturers that have a different configuration interface.
Bottom line is if you are not able to just plug and play your PS3 games online, you either need to find a friend that can fix your problems, pay someone to do it, or learn how to do it yourself.
Perhaps not the answer you were all looking for but at least it will stop you from running around like chickens with your heads cut off.

I think it is a network related issues... I got similar sort of issues and got it resolved from http://playstation3slim.com they really helped me a lot...
Okay.
So I've been reading over the answers, but I can't seem to find the right answer.
I have a Wii and a PS3, neither of which will connect to live, at least.
I guess that's the best way to describe it.
On the PS3 the internet works PERFECTLY, but it WILL NOT let me sign in to let me play online.
I just got my PS3, and the Wii I have had for a year or two, so it's not a new thing.
I'm also not able to use things like Limewire, is there something in my internet connection that is making it so I cannot connect to anything?
I've got wireless internet, but we're using Belkin...
Can anyone help?

alls you have to do is contact your router technical support and they will reconfigure your router the 1 800 number is on the back of the router box that it came in and if you do not have the box look online for number at website of name that is on router you do not have to move router or unhook it just enter its ip address in the web browser box of the main computer and it will take you into the main page of your router where the settings are and you click on settings and go to (dmz) and click on enable save settings and back out this should change nat to type 2 from type 3 which will allow you and your friends to play together if this does not work call 1 800 number do not chan ge anything else in settings or it will mess it up technical support will have to open certain ports on your router change numbers all that do not try this by yourself good luck
Hey there. I have the same problem with mine but on mine it goes from upnp available and nat type 2 and upnp not available and nat type 3. I got soo fed I rang sony. they gave me port numbers to give to my broad band (bt) I havnt given them the port numbers or anything cuz only got them today about 15 mins ago lol. But the numbers are only for sony things like playstation home so if u want to connect to friends on games u going to have to ring up the game company eg: activision or something and ask for the port numbers for their games. The number for sony is 08456000124 so if u give them a call they should give u the port numbers for you to tell your broadband. :)
Hey I need help my dad says the connection is fine, but when I go on my xbox360 the online gaming works but it's slow. So then I go on my ps3 and the connection tothe web works on it but the online doesn't work it says at the top right that I cant connect to the playstation network cn you please help.

The bottom line is your router. I had to upgrade to a broadband, which I now have no interruptions. I had too many devices running off my old router. Without the broadband, your router will only stream 2.4gh. Cell phones and cordless phones are just 2 devices that use that same frequency. I spent many hours trying to find a solution. I called Sony and Linksys for help and we even opened the ports. Nothing worked until I ungraded my router. I spent about $130, but it was worth it. Good luck!

Perfect! - disabling the media server option worked a treat , also noticed too when after I did this the downloads were much faster (not reporting 10678 minutes to download) but they still kept hanging and giving me a connection error. looking at my network stats I noticed that my signal strength kept fluctuating from 12% - 70%, I turn my routers antena about 15 degrees round (so it was pointing to my ps3) got a stable signal of about 74% and the game update downloaded in about 2 mins - worth a look for those still having problems,
hi I played call of duty alot once I always had good connection unless my cpu was on but most of the time it wasnt well then out of nowhere myconnectionwent bad on every game its been going on for a month the weird thig is that at midnight the connection is perfect but at day and night its 1 bar idk whats goingon I triyed connecting directly with the moderm but the same thinggoes on the moderm and router work fine we triyed contacting the isp but they dont know whats going on they say something might be interrupting the connection or something but I doubt it is it something I did on my cpu? please reply back please I play ps3 I triyed every setting it has wired wireless upn enable and stuff nothing happens what should I do im really pissed and sad they say the moderm is fine and I have 1.5 Mg so wtf is going on

All you guys have to do to get online is
if on wire (ethernet) go to settings on ps3 go all the way down to network settings then press on network settings it'll tell you your going to be signed out of PSN press x then do wired connection and automatic to all don't use proxy don't set dchp host name and do all settings automatic reboot/restart whatever you call it
modem and ps3 try getting online to play your game
if on wireless do same settings as above but instead of selecting wired select wireless automatic all
if that doesn't work go into your router
d-link brand router 192.168.0.1
linksys brand router 192.168.1.1
belkin brand router 192.168.2.1
enter that ip in your webbrowser
then look for a setting that says DMZ
enter your last digit or digits of ip click on check box to enable and click apply
depends on which router your using if
d-link brand router 192.168.0.1 your ip should be between 2-100
linksys brand router 192.168.1.1
belkin brand router 192.168.2.1
To find out your ip go to settings on ps3 all the way down to network settigs and select network settings list and it will tell you your ip
if this is the step you need to make your ps3 work you will need to make your ip static
static means your ip never changes for as long as you have these settings on
to do this u'll need to go to network settings and select
either wire or wireless then custom
and follow on-screen instructions
for ip select manuel
only enter ip, primary dns, and router
rest like proxy, dhcp host name, select do not use and do not set for those 2
rest auto only ip dns amd router address needs changing and disable UPNP you don't need that if your going to use static DMZ ip address
ip will be 192.168.x = 0 or 1 or 2 depending on your router . xx = your custom DMZ last digits for example 12
so it would be 192.168.2.12 or 192.168.1.12 or 192.168.0.12
