put ip from ps3 manually on to router settings opened correct ports, ps3 online worked. next day not working again checked ip address on ps3 and on router last number has changed on ps3 so when changed it on router then allowed me access again. why does last number change and why doesnt the router change accordingly each time. this has happened again today.
Might want to google dhcp [dynamic host configuation protocol] for why your address changes. You can either do ip address reservation / mac address filtering in the router to assign a static ip via dhcp to the ps3
or
set the ps3 to a static ip address and remove that ip address from the routers dhcp scope.for example if using 192.169.1.1 for router you could set 192.168.1.254 as the ip for the ps3 and your dhcp scope would be 192.168.1.2 to 253

thankyou have reserved ps3 ip address in dhcp, will this stop the last number from changing, is it as good as a static ip, or should i go ahead and make a static ip on the ps3
it is as good as static. It won't change. Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
