...im doing the network settings? i went to my firends and changed the internets there so i could play online there, then i came back did the settings again and it says an atempt to obtain an ip adress timed out. I gave my ip adress in the settings what does it mean and what should i do PLEASE HELPPP
 
Basically what it means is that your ps3 cant find a ip (which is given to by your router) I'm not that familiar with ps3s but what i suggest is that you set ip address to automatic if its on manual, or set it to manual if its already automatic. If you are using manual then you have to give a ip address to the ps3, make sure its within the limit of you router... try 192.168.1.105
 
rhis means that in an attempt to connect to the internet, it didnt find your ip usable within the allotted time frame. Call the plastation network and they will gove you troubleshooting instructions.
 
reconfigure your router to open some of the ports. makesure you are not using a firewall
