Well... Let me start from the beginning. I bought my PS3 a few weeks ago. I hooked it up and set everything up by myself. When I went online, anybody using the computer or laptop would get a message saying that there is an IP conflict with another system on the network and disconnect everyone. My brother (he's a tech wiz) took a look at it and he said I set it up the exact way he did for his PS3 and his girlfriend's sister's PS3. I looked up my problem online and people were having the same problem. I set up a static IP on the PS3 and everything was fine... for about 10 minutes. A message popped up on the PS3 saying "You have been disconnected from the access point." and EVERYTHING disconnected. Instead of just a momentary thing, we had to disconnect the modem and the router and plug them back in a few minutes later. Today I called up Sony and they said it was a problem with my router. This sort of thing NEVER happened with the DS, Wii (hell, I'm typing this from the Wii now), or PSP. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Sounds to me like your router is inappropriately assigning IP addresses to devices on the network, resulting in IP conflicts which bring the entire thing down. I can't say with certainty why this is happening to you, but you seem to have a lot of devices. Have you checked to ensure the IP range is large enough to accommodate everything? Otherwise, I would suggest assigning static IP addresses to the various MAC addresses of your devices. This should ensure no IP conflicts arise. Maybe others have ideas, my knowledge is a tad limited here. If it were me, I might be inclined to try another router.

I had somewhat of a problem with this too. What I did was have the last digit for the IP address different, preferebly scattered. So from my example, mines like this(I changed the #'s for privacy reasons) PSP 123.567.1.14 PS3 123.567.1.9 DS 123.567.1.28 PC 123.567.1.1 Wii 123.567.1.5 I have very little experience so probably asking any questions about this would make my brain hurt

The general number of devices able to connect to a router is 4. I don't know how good your router is, or even if one telephone line can support any more devices, but if the number of Internet-enabled devices at one point exceeds the maximum for the router, that's when you're likely to encounter problems. Hope this helps =]

Usually only the computer, laptop, and one of gaming systems are active at any given point in time. So I still don't get it.

It's PSN maintenance that was scheduled for last weekend and wends,thurs,friday of this week. All will return to normal shortly.

The max active devices on a router is four? Um.... that's wrong. It's a pretty common networking problem and it can be caused by the router or pretty much any other device on the network, including the ps3. Perhaps the router isn't as smart as it should be when assigning IP's. Perhaps a device on the network doesn't release its IP address when it reboots, the router assigns the IP to another device, and then the first device comes back on and doesn't grab a new IP, which causes a conflict. As has been said, your best bet is to assign a static IP to your ps3 (and maybe to some other computers/devices on your network). Make sure that when you do, it's NOT in the router's assignable range. Meaning, you should set your router's dhcp server so that it skips a handful of IP's. For example, set it to assign IP's starting with 192.168.1.10, then you can use 2-9 (after the last decimal) for any devices you want to set static and there won't be a conflict. You can set the static IP's a couple of ways. One is to configure your router to always give a particular mac address a particular IP (like somebody already mentioned). An easier way (especially if you're not super-exerienced in configuring routers) is to just disable dhcp on the ps3 and set its IP in its own network settings, but like I said, make sure it's not in the router's assignable range.

Make sure the PS3's MAC address is accepted into your router - for me, that was all that was needed...hmm...
