Xbox 360 and PS3 keep failing DNS tests

Tender · 04-03-2009, 06:21 AM

The problem arose a few days ago (both had been connecting perfectly fine up until then), they're both connecting to my router via wireless. When I try to login to PSN/Live I keep failing the DNS test, I've tried going to ipconfig to get my DNS number are entering it manually, when I put them it Live claimed it wasn't in the right format (mine was around the lines of 62.123 etc when it should be xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

Any ideas?

i haven't personally messed with the DNS settings of my xbox(and there have been so many updates to the firmware and dash...), but if it requests this:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

try 123.023.123.123
(putting a 0 infront of the number if its only 2 digits)
and make sure you are putting in . not ,

perhaps a screeny? (camera pic :P)
