Probably just got your router set up weird, probably to auto shutdown when the comp turns off?

Are you using 2 different e-mail address's to login? the same PSN account can't run on 2 machines at once.

Its your router. If i run my comp. and ps3 then the ps3 doesnt connect. You need a better router and so do i. See ur 1 ps3 is eatting up all the signal from the router and the other has nothing left. You need a gaming router would be your best bet.

Hey thanx for the info , i've been thinking about doing away with the router and going wired anyway , guess i'm gonna do it sooner than later!

I also forgot to add i don't have a problem running the computer or either PS3 at the same time just the two PS3's!

And also i can have my computer my 360 and a PS3 all connected at the same time with no problem!

Is the computer wired and the ps3 and xobx wireless. That would be a reason your could run at the same time. Hard wired has more bandwidth then wireless. Mine is about umm.. i dont know 8 years old lol. I need a 1g router and i should be good. A good one will cost you about 150 on ebay so it aint to bad. I need drum throne first then new router. Hope this helps.

I doubt your PS3 or PC is "eating up" all your wireless. Your router transmits a signal strong enough to support those, unless you have somewhere around 50 wireless connections made.

The likely reason for this is your PS3s have the same IP address for some reason. You are probably having an IP conflict, which is caused when your router DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is not working or not working properly.

What kind of router do you have? How old? I seriously doubt it doesn't have the transmission strength to broadcast to enough of your equipment. It uses DC power to create that transmission signal, and if your house is wired right, I'm sure it's getting enough voltage from your wall.
