Ps3 game system is able to connect to the internet but time outs when trying to sign in to the playstation network?

Doing a factory reset will clear your network settings and sign you out of your account. If you are connected to the internet using wi-fi make sure to get that setup again before trying to sign back into play-station network.

There is currently system maintenance that is underway, you should be back online by tomorrow. In the mean time, you still get trophies, and can play offline.
