It may also be your internet connection. Whats your NAT type? if its 3 that could be the problem

Go to settings in gt5 then go to network settings and you will see clear cache and terms of use. Obviously click clear cache.

Monoha I think you are screwed.
Tips for fixing:
Forward the ports
Place PS3 in router DMZ
** Assign a STATIC IP on your PS3 **
-If you setup your router etc and your PS3 decides to grab a new IP address then you will get this error, hence the requirement for Static IP once you have it all sorted.

Thanks 888 
I won't be able to get a different connection here. But I wonder if one of those 3G mobile ÙSB thingy would do the trick? That might be really slow, but would it technically do the job of avoiding this error? Would the 3G thingy even work on a PS3?

Hello guys. I'm going to try to enlighten this a bit. Eight friends and I have been playing every week. Nearly we all have to deal with connection problems, most of them 7XX issues.
Our conclusions:
- the problem is not the cache.
- the problem is not the NAT type, we all are NAT 2: firewall with uPNP enabled.
- the problem is not our LAN network. No matter if we have seven devices connected or not. No matter is everything else but the PS3 is off. No matter is we are thorugh wireless or cable.
- The problem is not about the quality of our internet connection. A friend and I used to play together and now we can't. And everything is the same.
- The problem is not the PSNetwork, I use to play other multiplayer games without an issue.
- The problem is not the blutooth mics, we have tried with and without them.
So, we guess the problem comes from the GT5 SERVERS THEMSELVES. No matter what we do. We have tested dozens of possible scenarios.
Most of the times the error message is about an incompatibility between the room owner and yourself (706). So everytime we play we have to go trying different room owners until we find someone who doesn't have problems with the rest. Actually, nearly impossible. When we finally are in one room together, some of us can't listen or see e some other players at the race. And they are in!
We normally spend one hour trying to join and play. This is unbelievable. I hope poliphony or whoever is the responsible for this fixes the problem, as little we can do about it.

Some times there are server problems, and sometimes online play works fine, thats it. It depends from time to time. To bad PD has so unstable online play, iotherwise the online play could be a really strong part of PD because online racing is the thing for new generation games like this. Not only online play, but the ability to chouse your own type of racing in online play and do what ever you want.

I encountered the dreaded "706" today. I was playing online with a friend of mine when suddenly I lost connection with the server, I think it was caused by my Wi-Fi router, I was logged off PSN. I logged back in straight away and when I was trying to join again I got the 706. Tried making my own room etc. I then cleared the cache as mentioned in this thread and it worked fine after that.

could this be a regional thing?
never got this problem until I joined a room I knew was started on the opposite coast of me.
