AHHHH - Help DNS 80710102 error

[Kingsd316]

Hi all,

Ive happily been playing call of duty online over the past 6 months, but this morning ive suddenly got the above error, ive managed to get online a couple of times today but been thrown off after about 20 mins
I have tried various methods to get back online but nothing seems to work, i use a wired connection and the settings are the same as my laptop which works fine, also i am able to use the ps3 internet browser while im still getting the error trying to sign in.

Any help will be great

Thanks

Wish i could thank you more than once, worked like a charm!!!!

Is this a long term fix or will i have to go back to the old settings soon

what i had the same thing today

i had to manually input a dns and nows it's working


edit: it was the same as the above post. I have no idea what caused it very odd

it would find a ip address then fail on internet connection (drove me mad)

Yup exactly the same, as far as im aware this can be left like this permanantly and should remain in working fashion for the duration that it is left like this.

Me too

Had no probs for over a year online. And yes I am sky. Would this explain the bad lag on cod4? Or is it me being rubbish LOL

it won't explain that no sorry COD IS peer 2 peer. You will get bad lag if the person you are connected to connection is weak.

the more green bars the stronger your connection to that host. The less lag you will have.

looks like it was a problem with sky but like r4zb3rry then fix wil sort this and you will be fine

No you need to put the DNS server IP addresses in from www.opendns.org

this happened to myself last night too. Running Sky broadband, wired netwrk with sky router connecting PC, PS3 and Xbox360 through ethernet (Cat5e) and Wii & laptop wirelessly.

Had Sky broadband for over 2 years no problems, PS3 connecting for a year no problems then last night this happens, affecting only the PS3 and could I sort it, could I heck!

I'll try the DNS solution advised here and let you know - but I'm very curious as to why these problems suddenly occur...

Happened to my Sky connection too - a good friend of mine sorted it by altering the dns numbers.

He suggested that Sky have begun blocking certain ports within the router settings to 'calm' traffic internet down or limit the usage of certain applications. – psn being one of them.

I've run sky broadband for over a year now with no problems but since last week the dreaded dns error above.

I phoned sky and they said it was a PS3 problem but Sony said it’s a router setting problem.

Anyhow, all is well and so far no issues.
