OK, some of you might have saw my post in the Playstation 3 thread about my PS3 not connecting to my step-dad's wireless router, but now the issue is affecting other devices as well, so I figured a general thread might be better. If not, lock it up, mods.
OK, so I can't connect my PS3 to wireless. I've had this problem before but can never quite remember how I fix it each time. Today, my step-dad upgraded to Dish Network HD, and neither I or the extremely helpful Dish Network technician were able to get the DVR to connect either.
Both devices appear to be timing out and/or failing at obtaining an IP address. But the wireless does work, as both of us have been using our laptops all weekend with no issue.

What kind of encryption does the signal have? My PS3 can pick pick up my WPA key absolutely fine but my DS craps itself when presented with anything but a WEP signal.

You may have to go DMZ with it, or allow it via the router's settings.

ok...somewhat embarrassing. I've always had kind of sloppy handwriting. Was reading my 2's as Z's when entering this atrociously long code.
