PS3 can't connect to home network (DNS error)
I am trying to get my PS3 to connect to my home network.

For some reason it can obtain an IP address, but it timing out when trying to find an internet connection. Was just wondering if someone more network savvy than myself can take a look at my settings and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I need to enter the following information:

IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Router
Primary DNS
Secondary DNS


The following is what I have entered currently:

IP Address: 192.168.2.9
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
Default Router:
192.168.2.1
Primary DNS:
194.168.4.100
Secondary DNS
: 194.168.8.100

What's obviously wrong there then? I know the answer will be staring me right in the face.

Here's my ipconfig info for the main computer:


Anything wrong? I am rubbish with networks, etc.

As you can see it says

Lease Expires: 21 December 1932

Surely that is something to do with it!?
