A little help with a new PS3.

[Lexodus]

I just bought myself a new PS3, and I'm having a little trouble connecting to the network. I've set it up, and in the home section it tells me that the connection works, but when I load Modnation Racers (the only game I have with online multiplayer), it says, 'connection lost' as soon as I start to play. I try to connect again, and it tells me that it can't find the connection, and, once, that the connection timed out. I'm using a wireless router which, although slow, covers the whole house (as we have those things that you plug into the wall to extend coverage) at a fairly reliable standard, and the Wii (in the same room as the PS3) has no problems getting online.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

*threadbump* this is kind of important, I've got one chance to go into town for the next week if there's anything i need to get to fix this, and nothing else to do.

Sounds like you have a problem with port forwarding through the router. The routers firewall is blocking the communication most likely. Try looking up port forwarding for the router you have on the internet.

Okay, thank you
