from BEYOND THE GRAAAAAVE!!
*cough*
Well, I don't like asking for help much, it's not that I think I'm too good for it, it just makes me feel uncomfortable and that I'm taking up others time that would be much better spent on something they find enjoyable. But I just had a really good day, so I'm throwing my social anxiety out the window and doing this. Also GTA Online is out and ain't this a ***** for this to happen now.
I left my PS3 off for about a month, probably less. This is the only thing I can think of that happened. Now I get the DNS error code. I've tried custom DNS addresses, I've tried wired, wireless, reserved IP, changing numerous PS3 network settings, numerous router settings, lowering the firewall, and nothing has worked.
I have a laptop that connects just fine, so it's not the router or the connection. (Although something weird did happen, I just checked the router gateway page to grab a screenshot of the connected devices. Usually it says UNKNOWN Computer, which is my laptop, which it later identifies by it's name, and Serenity, my PS3. My laptop will show a green checkmark while Serenity shows a red X, showing that maybe it's being detected by the router. But today it's just gone.)
What I'm really worried about is that the hardware/network adapter/whatever is fried. Which is really bad because that is integrated into the motherboard, and replacing that is almost as much as buying a new used one.
So...is there anything I can try before I just settle on being offline?
