Damn DNS error.

Ok...I've been dealing with this since last week. Sometimes when I get text chat invitations or even try to start one...I get this message. I also noticed last week, when we had a battle...it's now starting to effect me logging on to the network.

When I immediately log on, it can't sign me in, and I get this message that says...

"An error has occurred during communication with the server. This is a DNS error. (80710102).

I've googled this and haven't gotten much help.

What I've been doing is going back through my network settings, and manually inputing my DNS number. Normally when I get this error, and try to run a test connection, it always says fail. Same thing when I go through the network settings. I have to keep repeatedly try to log on, and it eventually lets me in. The same log in error, is the error I get at times for the chat.

Anyone else had this problem, and know how to resolve it for good? It just started as of the last 2 weeks...up until then, everything was fine.

~Goodz~

Same here Ive been getting those all week except mine says Network error but its been happening to my computer too so I think its my internet provider AT&T sucks

I've never received those errors and have no idea how you would resolve it. Sorry.

it happened to me awhile back think is just the warhawk servers itself

YEAH.....I USE TO GET THOSE ALL THE TIME... WOULD KEEP ME OFF THE PS3 THE WHOLE EVENING...

I JUST KEPT RESET.N MY MODEM!!

LOL now ya'll know....
now ya'll know.....well with the exception of muff there that is....don't worry hun it's coming for you...soooon

I GOT THE CURSE TOO!

btw mine just won't log in takes forever and freezes up to where i cannot circle back out of whatever it's logged into to or trying to do at the time. have found this problem popping up while logging in, checking psn buddy messages and trying to access chat texting, so no i wasn't being rude am quite sociable, however was so happy to just be online didn't want to mess it up....

poor poor lee you got the psn swine flu

NOoooooooOOOoooo mine has been fine. I want it to stay that way. Don't curse me Gamer! LOL

The DNS flu....coming soon to a PS3 near you.

They gotta fixed this shit. I logged on before I left out of town today. Got kicked off line first with the usual....network error. Surprisngly was able to log back in. Responded to a few messages, kicked off again. This time...guess who came into town? SON OF A .....I just turned it off and wasn't even going to fool with it.

Heads have got to roll at Sony for this one.

~Goodz~

oh yeah btw ps3 forum posts have alot of discontented ppl yammering on about the latest ps3 update saying it crashed alot of 60gig old school like the one i started with.....they have it rougher than what we're experiencing...thier's were running the gambit from freezing up altogether and dying....ps3's dumping all game played info....yellow lite of death....so forth and so on. should go and read it....i can't claim that, mine was buggin' long before that update....

I finally found that one post, out of millions of posts and remedies that appears to have fixed the problem. A guy said that he noticed that the problem existed with many people that were using RoadRunner high speed internet...that's me, so my antennas raised. There's another set of DNS #'s you can use that clears the problem. I tried it, and it immediately let me on.

I heard it works for anyone that has had this problem though...Road Runner or not. I'll post the DNS number later when I get home.

~Goodz~

lol just sent those to ya...for those that need them they are
Primary DNS 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS 208.67.220.220
and don't thank me someone else posted these on PSN forums....under PSN heading

you enter these numbers where?

Network Settings

Go manual

by pass everything (press right)

When you get to DNS

enter that info he gave. You'll be good to go...

~Goodz~

What do these numbers do? Is this the secret code to winning the lottery? Or does it uncover who killed JFK?

I must know...

<-- a little hyper....

no but really... what do the numbers achieve????

I put the numbers in but Ive still been getting errors like every hour.

the errors are really annoying

Is it while you're logged on playing, or at the home screen?

I havent had any problems since I got the new numbers. Now I do nitice, when I'm at the PSN Cross media bar...after mins. it logs me out automaticaly.


~Goodz~

It happens almost every hour when Im playing and at the home screen I think its my cheap AT&T internet cause it never used to happen like this when I hade Comcast.

<--also thinks my problem is with AT&T. Ever since they came up with this "there's water getting to your lines" crap I've had issues...

I'll be looking to switch providers ASAP

Never was really happy with AT&T to begin with. Its just a pain dealing with disconnecting and connecting service.

Ugh.

Well I have AT&T and I have no problems with my connection during storms or whatever. So you can't really blame them for it maybe your just lazy and not checking yourself muff. lol j/k muff j/k.

W/ Comcast I could host 24 and I never got network errors but now with AT&T I only can host 8 and I get errors all the time especially when it rains.

LOL no provider will ever EVER place the blame on their own networking sources. I personally think that TW's issues were solved inhouse and rather than admitting fault it was unofficially leaked to us at PSN forums, when i told my boy at SCEA Corp HQ he didn't even know that a fix, the new DSN addresses, were available.....

Point being that my foot was soo far up TW's/Linksys-Cisco/PS3 I knew what the weather was like on a daily basis where they lived.... I now know way more about ethernet/ISP than i ever wanted to know......and all i could walk away that whole experience was nobody will take the blame for what's wrong with your inability to get online.

As far as Tuff's prob all she can do is find her telephone connection box and see if it's wet inside, know a bit about that and it does happen. nothing special about the fix. use a blowdryer to dry it out, or rag wipe(careful, when your phone rings the system sends 90 volts to ring your house phone when you get a call) allow to dry, check for lose connections, easy to spot, retighten, will need either a flathead screwdriver or 3/8 speedwrench, once tightened....apply silicon around the edges of the box before you close it. and service complete..... hopefully this helped, beats waiting several days to be told you were crazy and now owe us money for the frivolous service call
