    I get so far but every time it fails. I see somewhere the security cant be WPA-PSK(tKIP). Is that the problem?

    Yes. The key information exchange timed out every time I do a test connection:confused:

    That is not the problem. With eircom you can get NAT1 or NAT3 and not the desirable NAT2 with the netopia routers.

    NAT1 (from my memory which may be foggy)

    Log into your router and take down the SSID and WPA-PSK key exactly. Set the firewall to low. (this has no effect on the security of your network so don't worry and is the most important step). Save the changes. Go to PS3 and go to network setup. Do the settings manualy/custom. Connect by PPOE. Enter SSID, WPA key, auto for everything else except MTU. Set this at 1500 and you will have NAT1. Make sure media server is set to off. Do not enable proxy server. If it does not work some people report having to enter DNS server addresses in to PS3 also. This is the most desirable for eircom users. You have all the net access you could want but the drawback is no media server capability. A final word, it will fail to connect at least twice before finally working.

    NAT2. Buy a different router. Same as NAT3 below but I bought a netgear router to get NAT2 as it does PnP and got rid of eircom one.

    NAT3 on eircom. Still need details from router and lower the firewall setting. You need to give your PS3 a static IP address. 192.168.1.30 will do. Subnet 255.255.255.0. gateway is 192.168.1.254. Enter SSID, WPA key, DNS servers and that should be it. You will be severely limited online on NAT3 so stick to NAT1 if you are eircom.

    Lots and lots of threads on this subject on this forum. Abuse normally follows for failing to do a search !

    Good luck
