Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

Since 2 days ago, i haven't been able to connect to PlayStation Network on PlayStation 3. I am receiving Time outs connecting.
It seems that Elchebib is having the same problem, the interesting thing is that his ISP is same as mine, IDM.
Note that my NAT type is 3 and has been like this for quiet some time, but this doesnt mean i wont be able to connect to PSN. My PS3's region is PAL.

Please if someone is having the same problem, report it here and state your ISP, Central, and your PS3's native region.

I am hardly able to connect to the minecraft servers I have been successfully using for the past month. It started today:  "The connection is taking too long. Terminated".

What if Sony is gearing up for expanding the Store or in other words SEN's services to Arab countries?

It just happened to me again! But this time no timeouts only some random errors in the when trying to connect.
Note: I am unable to access any HTTPS site.

Same Issue with IDM here, coonection problems to game servers, FTP and HTTPS for couple nights now-  i got an SMS stating there will be some "interruptions" due to maintenance on the morning of 13th - I gues it is related. Lets wait and see till after they have maintained.

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

This is getting disgusting. For about 14 days problems connecting to SEN on PS3, with regular disconnections and failed direct sign-ins because of time-outs.

Please if all IDM subscribers are facing such an issue, try to call them before 2 pm on Saturday (Today) and look for answers. Report your results here.

Hi, Same issue Here, IDM 2 Mbps ADSL Link, have been trying SEN for the last 5 Days and no avail until this morning at 3 AM it worked for 1 hour, then stopped, i think It Might be a filtering issue on the IDM part, either on the Firewalls when they NAT or on the Shaping appliances. online gaming is a premium service and the ISPs need to understand that, if they can create gaming packages and give our traffic the proper QoS (quality of Service) I would at least be happy to pay a bit extra.

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

what is your error ID guys?
is it 80028e06?

and it's PSN(games & store) not SEN(movies and music)

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

There is no Error ID, just Connection to SEN timed out. by There is no PSN anymore it is all called SEN now :), i used to get error numbers before each time a different one, but the summary of the errors was failure to connect to SEN either due to time out, Connection error ...

they basically said they want to change the name but it's still psn everywhere
us.playstation.com/psn/

I think to solve that issue start flooding idm losers with phone calls, it sure will be some small issue like flushing the cache or something but they are too lazy to do it.

rhmaidan

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

i dont think its about cache, the cache is mostly storing information from visited webpages, connection to the psn or sen is an authentication process, thus the issue is most likely a port issue, any one know the ports so we can email them to idm ?

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

ports:
http://us.playstation.com/support/answe … m?a_id=241

I had a similar issue before with visp, contacted them and they cleared the cache and it worked

rhmaidan

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

are the port mentioned above the same if you PlayStation is registered in the UK ? BTW i am still getting the same error till today morning

Have been connected from 5:30 and i never got disconnected. Going to keep it till midnight and then see if it will get disconnected.

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

UPDATE:
After 9 hours, i was never disconnected and played ME3 multiplayer. My connection quality was great no lags experienced.

Tomorrow I will try setting my modem to assign a public IP for the Wireless router my PS3 is connected to, to get a NAT 2. Previously and since those disconnections started for me about a year ago, once on NAT 2 the disconnections are frequent.

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

I sent an email out to IDM at 4 pm yesterday regarding the issue and asked them to either clear the Cache or open the IP addresses of the PSN, i don't know if the connection worked because they reacted, if so Thank you IDM for the Support, if not then thank god it worked :)

P.S. also playing ME3 multi-player to raise galactic readiness to 4000 in order to get best game ending :P

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

I've been able to sign in just fine. Problem at the last minute of each game i get te " server timeout" .
Any other IDM users having the same issue ? Or is it a router one ?

Re: Problems connecting to Sony Entertainment Network

After 3 days of NAT 2, my connection has been seamless. Only problems in ME3 host player.

@rhmaidan Thanks, it seems clearing the cache solved the issue. The interesting thing is how did the tech support  know what to do! :P
