This usually only happens with wireless, and with my psp.

did you use the automatic find thing? try typing it all in manually like I had too do then it will work

Where do you connect the ethernet cable? I connected mine from my PS3 to my PC, what do I do then?

doesnt it need to be connected to a router or a modem for you to get an internet connection?

Ur is the PS2 game working fine with the PS3.. as soem are not compatible and also would you be able 2 play PS2 games online? Try using a PS3 game online if you have it.. It could that u can do the Ps2 game but not the online feature?

Apart from being illiterate, you also have no idea what he is on about.

he sounds kinda on crack,

Here is a sort of translation.

Try using a ps3 game online, if that works then it must be the ps2 game that wont work, I think thats what he ment.

Anyway, that wont make a difference, what router have you got? If its a belkin one try turning it off and back on, thats what fixes mine.
