I'm not a "gamer" but will try to help...

First, could you please give more details on your network equipment/connections?
> What is the make/model of your home router?
> Make/model of your computer and what version of Windows?

basiclly my problem is that i cant connect to online servers when gaming online on my PC.I cant play any of all my PC games online as they cant find servers but however i can when i use a wired connection.

So are you saying you only have problem when trying to connect to servers when between computer's wireless <==> your router?

But it works computer ethernet <==> your router?

my computer is packard bell and i use vista home premium.

and the thing you said at the end is what i ment.

So from what I understand when you use your PS3 you can connected through wireless and wired no issues. But on your PC you can ONLY connect when you are wired? This may sound like a dumb question but do you even have a wireless adapter for your PC? You will not be able to use a wireless connection on your PC without one. And most Playstations if I'm not mistaken have built in WiFi hence you probably not buying any add-on feature for it.

Ooops, posted the text to the wrong thread. Sorry

Is it a hardware one you connected via PCI or a USB dongle type? Are the drivers properly installed? Can you even see other wireless networks from the given software or default Microsoft tool? Is it possible you switched onto someone elses wireless signal and didn't change it back to yours?

 

[LookinAround]

All good questions from Relic. If i could add a couple more if you can also clarify:

Are you saying you have problems with wireless only when you want to connect to your online game servers? Does your computer's wireless work fine otherwise (such as for web browsing)?

/* edit *
Also you might find this link here helpful to check to see if your wireless adapter is seeing any networks

@Relic's post
ye i can only connect to pc onlime games with a wired connection
im using PCI
for what i know there all properly installed
andi can see my own brodband no one elses.
I also let my freinds use the brodband for using iPhones online if that is any help?

 

[mossy95]

ALso i use to be able to play both PS3 and PC wirlessl perfect until i changed my NAT type to 1 from 3. After that i was not able to play my PC with a wirless connection.My freind did this using command prompt so if thats any help.I tryed changing back to nat type 3 and it didnt change my ability of being aloud to play on the PC wirleseley

 

[LookinAround]

Hmmm....

1) From what i read online, NAT 1 is only when PS3 is connected directly to a cable modem (no router involved). Though if you're using a PS3 wireless, i'd think you're router must be connected (meaning it should be set NAT 2 or NAT 3 as i understand it from reading)

2) I'd double check your router settings but i can't find info about a Motorola 12vdi router. Could you double check your router model number? (there's usually a metal tag on the back or bottom of the router with the model number)

3) Let's also look at your IP address settings on your computer. Click Start->Run, then copy/paste the command line below.

cmd /c ipconfig /all > "%userprofile%\desktop\ipconfig.txt"

The command will put an ipconfig.txt file on your desktop. Please attach it to your next post

imo, that's a total mess
the gateway is not in the same subnet as the IPv4 address, ego no routing

How do i fix it?

 

[ElShotte]

Go to Network and Sharing Center in Control Panel, on the left side click on Change adapter settings. Right-click on your wireless adapter and choose Properties. In the window labeled "The connection uses the following items:" select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties. Make sure both IP Address and DNS are set to obtain automatically, click OK. In the previous window click either OK or Close. This should have your adapter get your IPv4 info automatically from your Router.

Sidenote: Im giving him instructions from Windows 7. From what I remember, Vista is the same, but if Im off you guys can feel free to correct me.

I'm still trying to figure out your network connections

1. I can't find a Motorola 12vdi model number (you say is your cable modem?)
2. Do you have a router????? is it a wireless router? or what?
3. The IP address for your wireless appears that it's connected directly to your ISP (Eircom)??

You need to describe your network equipment and starting with what's connected to the wire coming in from your ISP (e.g. make/model of your modem and/or router) and what is your PS3 connected to?

and is it a wire from your ISP or do you connect via a wireless modem/router/ or what???

Its a 12vdc i mean sorry

and can you explain to the connection being odd would is it odd as someone would tamper or?? and how do i fix it

1. I don't think you're reading the model number. I think 12vdc is the power supply (12 volt DC) . Check the tag for the model number. You should be able to google the model number to prove its valid. Then post the model number

2. Odd in that (based on the IP address shown in your ipconfig) your wireless device connects directly to your ISP. So i don't know if you really have a router??? (As i would think your PS3 connects to it?) And if you do, maybe your wireless card doesn't use it but connects directly to ISP? So i'd like to find out what your modem/router equipment actually is /* edit */ to first understand how your wired and wireless network ports and your PS3 network and connect to the internet (and each other)

So would like the model numbers.. and does your moto modem connect to an incoming ISP cable?>
