You need to connect the PS3 to the internet to use online services.

yes, and also you can hook laptop to tv, mine is hooked to a 9 foot projector screen, call 4 free 3363926682 depends on what inputs u want conect 2 for cable suggestion God Bless

1)is your ps3 overheating?
2) is anyone else using the network your conected to?
3) are all your network cables conected and un-frayed,cut,pinched
4)dose your router go into a colisian state when you get the black screen?
5) dose it only happen in this online game or all online games
6)dose it happen every time you play this game or only some times?
6)are you trying to hack the game?
what port forwarding do you have configured for the conection to your ps3?
if none learn how to configure it to limit redundant broadcast that may be causing this problem.
try turning unplugging all systems from your router except the ps3

if you are conected directly to a broadband conection you might want to get a router so you can filter the trafic that reaches your ps3
hackers/cheaters are malicious and will stop at nothing to get the thrill of winning ,first learn how to do it ,then you can know how to stop it from being done to you ,or at least level the playing field at the cost of self respect

go to the dashboard,and test your conection,once it failes you can then search for your network,click on your network and type in the WPA key,which is written on the back of your router,and it should have no problem conecting to xbox live,depending on your conection,you mite have a bit of lag during online games.

You may want to check the usb cord. It does go bad in rare cases. Do you have access to another cord? Have you tried another port on your computer? Try these out first and let me know what outcome you got. Please post if it didn't help and we can go from there.

Also If you have a card reader on your computer that might be an alternative.

Am I missing something? Is the psp2 portable slim able to get internet games using a wireless router, or do I have to hook it up to the PC in order to get this feature? Keeps asking me to get a flash player wish I have done. trying to go to miniclip.com and play pool.

hi ive got my ps3 hooked up with a wireless conection so feel free to ask any questions. you need a wireless hub to send out the wireless broadband signal. is your pc set up with a wireless connection to broadband?

I experienced the same problem. I have the ps2 slim. The problem was so bad that i had the slim for about 3 years and still could not play any ea games online. About 2 months ago i finally got it to work though, allowing me to play madden ncaa and many other sports games from ea. I also have dsl broadband just like you. I do not have a router though. I just hooked my ethernet cord straight into the back on the ps2, my computer is really close by. I would reccomend a router though.

Enough of this bs though. Now solving the problem. There was actually a firewall keeping me from connecting to ea servers. Which in turn meant no ea account and no ea play online. Go onto your computer and turn your FIREWALLS OFF. This still may not work though. I done this and an unknown firewall was still blocking it. THERE WAS A FIREWALL IN MY MODEM.
CALL UP YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PEOPLE AND TELL THEM TO TAKE THE ******* THING OFF SO U CAN ******* PLAY. I ALSO FOUND THAT LIMEWIRE WOULD NOW WORK ON MY COMPUTER AS WELL.
By doing this you will open peer to peer connections with other programs and players online.
