First check wether you received a valid ip address for your local network. usually, this should be something like 192.168.x.y. if so, then you might indeed face a dns issue. dns is used to resolve web site names to ip address. usually, your ip service provider will broadcast the external dns servers for your router to recognize.

try to connect with a computer first. if it works, check the ip settings. if your computer also cannot connect without explicit dns server settings you can do one of the following:
- explicit dns server address in ps3. go to "advanced internet connection settings", and then to "dns settings" and set the dns server address
- purchase a 30$ network router and hook it between your internet and the ps3. in the router settings, set the dns server address to be broadcasted to the clients. you can use 168.126.63.1 and 2 which are dns servers in korea (i live in korea), but you might want to find the server near to your location or promoted by your isp

When I try to connect to a wirless internet connection with my Playstation 3 Obtain IP Address succeeds, Internet connection fails and I get the message "A connection error has occured....

try power cycling your router and modem, and if that doesn't do it somewhere in your system should be a menu to get to either in preferences or settings that "sets new IP address"

PS3 (80GB) Obtain IP Address : Failed, Help?

Try swapping the ends of the ethernet cable between your PS3 and the router. Otherwise, try a different ethernet cable. Also check that there are lights on by your ethernet port on the PS3 and the router.

Internet connection failed but IP address obtained.

sounds to me like you have the security turned on . Just type in your security key on PS3 and it should connect. Best of luck!
