My Ip And Mac Address
So for the past two days i have not been able to sign in on psn and it says that i need to check my connection settings so when i test the connection it says 'the attempt to find an ip address has timed out.' So today it keeps doing that except when i type my ip address into the web browser (on my computer) i can't even open up the page to my router to configure the setings!so what the hell is going on??im confused right now since it took me forever to get my internet to work with a router a long time ago and there has never been any problems. Any help is appreciated!
This is important to note. When you set your PS3 to a static ip address, the router does not know that the PS3 is using that ip address. So the very same ip address may be handed to another computer or console later, and that will prevent both devices from connecting to the internet.
p.s. i thought this had to do with the problems everyone was having yesterday so i ignored it but then people started confirming that they can go on so idont know, didnt have any problems with the 2.0 update either.
Ps3 Ip Address Finder
- Some routers do not allow you to assign an IP address outside the DHCP range of the same. If this is your case, you need to check the second part of this guide 'Section B: Configuring a Static IP Address on your PS4' and follow steps 2 through 4 to set an IP address outside the DHCP range.
- Mar 29, 2019 Changing your IP address can be useful if you want to avoid being attacked by other users who are targeting your IP address, or if you simply want a new online identity from an IP standpoint. You can change your IP address on a Mac at any time through System Preferences.
