Check PS3 Settings For Port Forwarding
If the DNS server option doesn’t work for you, the last option you can try is to port forward your PS3. It will resolve the issue, hopefully.
1. Turn ON your PS3 and go to “Settings.”
2. Go to the “Network Settings” option.
3. Select the “Settings and Connection Status List” option.
4. You will see your “DNS, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Router.” Write that data in your notebook as it will be used in upcoming steps.
5. Return to the “Network Settings” option and select “Internet Connection Settings.”
6. A dialogue box will pop up. Just select “OK”.
7. Select the settings method as “Custom.”
8. Now select the type of connection you have. I have “Wired Connection,” so I am choosing this option. In most cases, a wired connection is recommended.
9. Select the option mode for the network device. Hit “Auto Detect”.
10. Choose the “Manual” option from the IP address settings.
11. A screen with “DNS, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Router” will appear.
12. The last step is to put those numbers (which I told you to write down earlier in step number 4 ) in front of the respective field.
13. MTU dialogue will pop up. Choose “Automatic”.
14. The proxy server screen will show up. Select the “Do Not Use” option. It’s up to you. If you have a proxy server, you can use that one.
15. For the universal plug-and-play option, select “Enable.”
16. It will ask you about the validity of the provided data. Select “OK” and test the connection.
17. You will see “succeeded” and your download speeds. Thus, your PS3 ports are forwarded; hopefully, error 80710723 will be eliminated.
