Ive seen lots and lots of people asking about fixes for PS3 connection issues, so I thought I'd post details of how I fixed this several months ago, for my setup and its been perfect ever since. I use a wired connection, but ive also used wireless from time to time too.
=========
To get it working reliably with some routers you need to assign a static ip address to your PS3, turn off upnp and set port forwarding on your router to allow PS3 to communicate openly without all of the plug 'n' play stuff causing disconnects all of the time.
All routers are slightly different, but these settings worked perfectly for me!!!

In some cases the linksys wrt54g will reset ,and the network will crash, when a PS3 is trying to connect to the internet. This is because of the media server function. When you disable this function, it will work properly.
However, I really like streaming my media to my ps3 from my laptop, so I’ve been on a quest to find a better solution.
And I found it !
Read on to find out how.
First of all : you have to add a static IP adress to your PS3.
You can do this by selecting “manual” when prompted for “connection type”.
The IP adres I used is 192.168.1.108.
You can find your DNS adresses by using a PC. Click “Start”, and then click “Run” type “cmd” and press enter.
A command prompt will open. Type “ipconfig /all” and press enter. The prompt will output your computers IP adress (wich you don’t need), and the DNS servers. (which you do need)
Default router should be : 192.168.1.1
Leave all the other settings to their default settings.
Next, open your browser on your PC. Type “192.168.1.1″ (this is the std ip address to access your router admin page) in your adress bar and hit enter. You will be asked for a username & password. Fill in “admin” in the password field, and leave the username blank. (unless youve edited your login details for your router)
Click “applications & gaming”
Fill in these settings:
And save your changes.
Now click the administration tab, and Disable UPnP.
Save again.
This should take care of the problem.
