Ps3 network connection not working


Recommended Posts

I have a ps3 slim and I had it for about three months and one day it wouldnt connect through my wired connection. So I ended up switching to wireless but now I'm getting the 80029020 error? Why would my wired connection just stop? I have tried messing with automatic and manual settings and changing ip adresses and all. I'm completely confused about it

How's your network setup, I have same random disconnection issue with my PC,360 & PS3 and I tried switching 2 routers to finally finding out that it's the modem that's incompatible with the new routers (still not fixed yet since it's a business class cable modem). I would recommend leaving everything to automatic and if you still have problem then restart your router &/or modem.

Also little bit more info would help, you said three months but when did started having connection issue.

You said you had error 80029020, here some info from psn forum

Make sure UPnP is enabled on the PS3 and Router.

Place the PS3 in the DMZ of the router or find the appropriate ports to forward to the PS3's connecting IP (set to static in the PS3 if you have it setting dynamicly in the PS3 for either)

I had it for three months with a wired Internet connection and never had any problems but like I said one day it just would not work so I switched it to wireless and when I use wireless it works but I get that error code. My 360 and pc work fine online it is just my playstation. Something just may of happened to my Ethernet wire though because I ran it my self and they run under the house. So I'll try another Ethernet cord to see if it makes a difference

I'm having a little problem with connection too.

I bought the black ops map packs over the weekend, they took over 6 hours to fully download... they didn't seem to be going too slow, then i tweeted the wait and someone replies saying it took them 10 minutes.

When playing it says i'm behind a strict NAT whatever that is.

It's wired

I think all console need auto-reconnect, none 360 or ps3 do that. Not sure about wii thought.

Also brad if you can't connect then do a backup and then do a hard reset. Since you pc 360 are working fine I'm guessing it?s with the ip address or you ps3, A hard reset will at least narrow down you option to fix the problem.

I picked my router but then it wants me to buy the program

Look on the top right of the window, you'll see "Click here to skip this advertisement..." and then choose "PlayStation Network" from the list.

In short you need to add the following port in your router setting under "Port Forwarding"

PlayStation Network

TCP Port: 80, 443, 5223

UDP Ports: 3478-3479, 3658

Just try to reset network setting on ps3

1. Select (Settings) > (Network Settings).

2. Select [internet Connection Settings]. Select [Yes] when a confirmation screen is displayed stating that you will be disconnected from the Internet.

3. Select [Easy], after it connects to PSN just press [X] then test the connection.

If that doesn't work, let us know.

Before going any further give you Modem and Router Name and model number, then I know if you know how to check duplex on your router. IF you do then check what it is on the router and change only Speed and Duplex setting on your PS3 and match the duplex speed to your router.

Alright, I fixed my wired connection. One of my Ethernet ends I crimped on came loose I guess. But it's working now which is good so I don't have to fool with the wireless. But my connection speeds are failing but then it throws that code and it gives me my speeds after the code pops up. My internet still works so idk if that affects anything but does anyone know why that would throw an error code?

    • OneDrive for Mac now lets you sync files to removable drives by Taras Buria If you use OneDrive on Mac and often work with external drives (a common sight among Mac users where internal storage is not upgradeable), Microsoft has some good news for you: the OneDrive client for macOS now supports removable drives, allowing you to sync files to external disks, both non-removable and removable. Microsoft introduced external drive support in OneDrive for Mac at the beginning of 2025. However, the initial rollout was limited to drives that macOS detects as non-removable. The company received plenty of feedback from users regarding this change, and it is now addressing the inability to sync files to removable drives. External drive support in OneDrive works the same way as syncing files to internal storage. If you unplug your drive, say, a portable SSD, OneDrive will stop syncing and notify you with an error message (there is a short delay for drives that sporadically disconnect). To resume sync, reconnect your drive and restart OneDrive. If you want to sync OneDrive to an external drive, your drive should be formatted for APFS (Apple File System) and protected by FileVault (read-only, network, and quarantined drives are not supported). Also, you need macOS version 15.0 or newer and OneDrive version 25.097 or newer. For now, external drive support is only available for insiders, but a wider rollout is coming soon. Finally, Microsoft adds that external drive support does not allow moving drives between devices. Therefore, you must set up OneDrive sync again every time you connect your drive to a new Mac. You can read more about external drive support in OneDrive for Mac in a post on the official Tech Community website. In other OneDrive news, check out our recently published guide, which details how to change OneDrive folder colors for extra personalization.
