[SOLVED] PS3, Dynex Router, Mac Address Filtering, IP Address Time out issue.

Okay so I have a Dynex router that i enabled mac address filtering on and added a few computers and my ps3's mac address. But my ps3 seems to be the only one that cant connect. im always getting an IP address timed out error when i run the connection test. it will work flawlessly however as soon as i turn off mac filtering. i know i copied the mac address properly because i copied and pasted it from the routers client list when the ps3 was connected. the ps3's host name is unknown by the way and all the other clients have names. any ideas guys?

setting the ps3's host name seemed to do the trick.
