I'm having problems getting my network set up properly, the 2 desktops and the laptop can connect to the internet fine, until the ps3 is switched on and running tiger woods 09, at which point none of the other computers can connect to the internet. I have updated the router's firmware, tried running the Ps3 through a dmz, numerous reboots (both router and computers) and am now beyond the limit of my knowledge.

ISP: virgin media 20mb
Router: Belkin G wireless Router: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...duct_Id=461137

PC 1 wired, Vista home premium
PC 2 wired, XP home
Laptop wireless, Vista home premium
PS3 40gig wireless

Everything was fine with my old router until the power pack decided to pack in at the weekend, and virgin gave us a nice new modem a couple of weeks ago when the old one stopped working.

I have read a few articles about the PS3 and the problems it causes to wireless networks.

A couple of things to try:

1.Make sure media sharing is turned off
2.Turn off SSID broadcast. Aparently the PS3 doesnt like this.
