What is the DNS server and how do i correct an error with it? I have my ps3 hooked up to my wireless router. I ran through all the steps to connect my ps3 to the router. It goes through all the steps but at the end says error with DNS server.

You need to give more info on your setup.

What router? What version of firmware?
How are devices hooked up, etc.

DNS error is a general error, meaning the device cannot
communicate with the internet/network.

DNS = Domain Name System

The internet is based off of IP addresses - LOTS of #'s

DNS = a way for people to remember the NAMES instead of all
the IP addresses - I.E. - instead of going to:

http://74.125.155.104

you would instead use: http://www.google.com

More than likely your PS3 is not getting configured properly

It may not even be router problems, could be PS3 settings.
