Hi, So i stopped playing my ps3 months ago, and my internet connection was absoloutely fine. i could play endlessly without being disconnected. I start playing again in january with the release of LBP2. Suddenly i start getting randomly disconnected from LBP server and from the PSN.

But i ignored this as it was only about every hour or so i done it.

Then today i downloaded MAG from the PSstore and find that i get disconnected around about every 30 seconds - 1 minute.

It is possible that my brother's computer may be taking my bandwidth as its usually fine when he's not on it, but the game seems to disconnect just as soon as i get into a match, or when im just starting.

This is really annoying as i cant even get in a match, nevermind play my new game. The most i went was about 8 minutes in a match but then was disconnected.

I get an error code "8002AD23" and a message in the top right corner. And im also signed out of PSN.

Someone pleasee help me ! I just want to play my new game

It sounds to me like you and your brother are using the same IP address. Try changing the last number on your IP address to (for example 5) And make sure no other computer or device is using that last digit number. Hopefully that was the problem.

Try disabling the media server connection in PS3 network settings some routers flip out when enabled toggle it on/off if you ever use a media server. 

I would also disable UPnP in the PS3 network settings can cause problems if you have successfully set-up a DMZ or port forwarding and a router power down for a minute re-boot can also help.
