Need help! For some reason I can't invade, see signs, not even messages!

I assume you can still connect to the PSN correctly?

Not sure what you're suggesting here... but yes I can connect to PSN normally, and play other games normally (as I said I even played Demon's Souls flawlessly).

ublug this started a few days ago with a level 99 character. I guess it would be (as always) temporary and it would be gone the next day. The next day I created a new character, and realized I never saw any signs, neither I got invaded. Again I expected it to be temporary, so I ignored it. Then the next day I kept playing with that the issue persisted, I went to use other characters and still I couldn't get any online interactions.

So to close up, I'm pretty sure creating a new character won't help. Also I tried that thing about standing idle after I disconcerting and connecting in-game and didn't work.

What I'm suggesting is that you can't connect to From's, or rather, the Dark Souls server for some reason. I suppose if you can somehow find what the IP addresses you could try pinging them on your computer from behind your router. I could try using wireshark to see what kind of packets are being sent to and from the PS3.

Do you have a static IP adress or is it set on automatic ?

If automatic it can often reset itself while playing causing your IP adress to change which causes connection issues.
