Ok, I just thought of something. Go to my network places, find your internet connection, and find build path. (On comp) then, try going to fry's(or whatever electronics store you have there) and ask them how to convert wireless signal, and connect it from your computer to your ps3. It'll work as wired. And if you by a modem, comp in 2nd port and ps3 in 3rd port

ok miss redwurd lets try this....little techy but i have faith you can do it. OS is 'operating system' on the computer....ie windows xp, vista, ect. password protecting your internet would be ideal. you still can password it as long as you tell "everybody" the password. this would eliminate strangers and unwanted users on your internet. but if you cant then lets try doing this...... go here www.pregamelobby.com/forum/sony-reviews-tips/5618-how-get-type-2-open-nat-your-ps3.html#post63831follow the steps there to establish a static ip address on your ps3. i recommend going to the "internet connection status" on the ps3 1st and writing all that info down. in this link the guy has a linksys when he setups up port forwarding. your d-link will be slighty different. and he forwards different ports. LOTR uses some different ports i believe, i dont know them off hand or have them handy, however they are in the back of the instruction book for the game. ok good now you have a static ip on your ps3. this means that your ps3 will always use this ip address every time it connects to the internet. now we want to setup port forwarding on your router (d-link). we are doing this to tell your router 'hey i want to send certain information to a certain address' ie. lotr data straight to my ps3. look here portforward.com/find your model number under d-link and open it. then pick lotr (its in there). follow those steps. now you should have a static (means assigned every time, the same one) ip on your ps3 and have set up lotr ports to be forwarded to the ps3 on the router. see if that helps.

80,443,5223,3478,3479,3658 according to www.portforward.com but i think the instruction book for lotrc has different ones but.....i set mine up based on the ones from the instruction book with positive results and i want to say there were only five not six of them and not on both tcp and udp. im not at home so i cant check.

well didnt want to create a new topic but it kinda pertains to this: everyone noticed that we keep getting drop connections as of late? i have and some others too. especially those that play uncharted. well it is believed to be the firmware 3.00. sony has released 3.01 now stating "System stability during use of some PlayStation®3 format software has been improved" so everyone grab the update www.us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps3on topic/ see my previous posts

have another solution for you, miss red, or any one else with similar circustances. try looking at this device. www.asokausa.com/products/residential/pluglink_9650.phpthe name brand ones (linksys, belkin) at stores like best buy run about $150 or so but this one might be cheaper to order online. this is the one in my companys tool catalog and is priced about $26 each piece so a total of about $50 or so. it runs 85 mbps as opposed to the 1gig name brand ones hence the bigger price. but 85mbps is faster than wireless. not sure if it can be found at a local store or not, but it is a alternate solution for you to consider. basically one end goes into power by the router with a ethernet cord from it to the router. then the other end goes in power near the ps3 with an ethernet cord from it to the ps3. ethernet over power wala.

Blasted! I finally broke down and purchased a new router from Linsys Cicsco & cat6 cable on Saturday (recommended by Biersley & Mabedi thanks guys! =D). The lag & the evil red pings was complete torture and ceaseless frustrated agony! UGH!!! To date I have had little lag issues, & my pings are mostly in the green! HURRAH! So the $160 investment into my sanity has been well worth it!
If any more problems arise I may look into your company's tool catalogue. Hey Thanks Adan!!!

You got a cat6? In my experience, they are very good. I hate you =)

Hey Yash shell out $50 and it too could be yours! The only downfall is, well me! The cable is 50 ft hooking up my router waaaayyyy across to another room & to my PS3, & so I christened it by a glorious epic fall by tripping over it! OUCH!

If you are able to connect to the Internet but cannot get into Sony Computer Entertainment America's (SCEA) game servers or network, it may be a firewall issue. A firewall is a security product that employs a combination of hardware and software to prevent unauthorized users or Internet traffic from gaining access into a private local area network (LAN) or personal computers. Many routers or modems have a firewall built in to them. In order to allow certain information to pass through, specific TCP and UDP ports on the router or modem will need to be opened in the router or modem's settings. Below are the TCP and UDP (firewall) port numbers you will need to connect online with PlayStation® products. IMPORTANT:Make sure to enable these TCP/UDP ports in BOTH directions and are entered into the TCP and UDP port fields in your router / modem. Contact your Internet Service Provider or router manufacturer for proper instructions on how to input port information for your network. SCEA Game ServersAll games published by SCEA (first-party) may use the following ports for communication with SCEA (first-party) game servers: TCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223, and 10070 - 10080 UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658, and 10070 PlayStation®NetworkTCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223 UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658 PlayStation®3 Remote Play PlayStation®3 Remote Play (via the Internet) requires: If the router in use supports UPnP, enable the router’s UPnP function. If the router does not support UPnP, you must set the router’s port forwarding to allow communications to the PlayStation 3 from the Internet. The port number that is used by remote play is TCP Port: 9293 USB or Bluetooth HeadsetsTCP Port: 80 UDP Ports: 6000 - 7000, 50000, 10070 Note: headsets must be compatible Syphon Filter: The Omega StrainTCP Port: 3658 PlayOnline and Final Fantasy XITCP Ports: 25, 80, 110, 443, and 50000 - 65535 UDP Ports: 50000 - 65535 Other GamesIf you need port numbers for games published by third-party companies, contact the publisher of the software title directly. See Game Support Contacts for contact information. SOURCE
