CarbonCore Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Wireless security settings depends upon which area you live. In my case, no one in my building even have a broadband, let alone have a wireless. Check if you are getting somebody else's signal, if not then its safe to use 'None'. Also create a US account first, that one has more demos right now. Btw, each user can create only one PSN account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Do you have a spare ethernet cable? Try connecting your PS3 to the router using that and see if it works then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Try and see if it works. This will act as a process of elimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Aaahhh!! That probably means it has not been upgraded to the latest firmware. You'll have to do that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 @sam: do you have a wi-fi enabled laptop ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'd suggest first you do firmware update with storage device option. Download it on your PC then use USB stick/SD card to do the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightySkate Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Look Sam, i don't know what your complete setup is but for my sify conn they've provided me with a primary and secondary dns settings. I entered those along with my IP address and did the same on the ps3. Added a WEP key on the router and entered the same on the ps3 and now it connects wirelessly just fine with a 95-100% signal strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 ^^ Thats a good idea. @Sam: Why dont you try putting in the following settings on your PS3: Static IP: 192.168.1.150 Subnet: same as on your PC Gateway : 192.168.1.10 DNS: same as on your PC. The PC settings can be found by right clicking the network icon --> Status --> Support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightySkate Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Yeah the IP address given to you by your ISP, along with the other settings MT stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightySkate Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 btw don't try to download the firmware updates directly through the ps3, it's a pain in the a** if your internet get disconnected or the power goes off, you'll have to restart the whole process again. I usually download the firmware updates from the UK website 'cause i have the PAL version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 so on the PS3 do i have to enter the IP deails of the router or ISP? peace Not the ISP. We want the PS3 to act like just another computer on the network as far as the wireless router is concerned. So we will assign it an IP on the same range as your desktop PC. Your PC has an IP of 192.168.1.100, so we will use 192.168.1.150 as the IP for you PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried doing that, but i entered the ip address given to me by sify and it works. It just took me 10 mins to setup the wireless conn on the ps3.

MarketTantrik Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 ^^ How does the subnet matter? The wireless router is acting as the gateway for all external HTTP requests through TCP/IP from computers on Sam's home network which include his desktop PC and the PS3. The router will automatically assign the subnet to all the connected clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 @Sam: Try this first and see if it works. Else login to your router and disable the DHCP option. and then try these settings again. Static IP: 192.168.1.150Subnet: same as on your PC Gateway : 192.168.1.10 DNS: same as on your PC. The PC settings can be found by right clicking the network icon --> Status --> Support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 ^^ The restarting is a known firmware issue on the router. You'll have to do a firmware update. Tell you what Sam, why dont you take a half day or an off from work tomorrow? I'll swing by in the evening on the way back from Worli and help you get set up.

MightySkate Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 cool which settings did you use? now go download your fav GT5 from the Uk store not sure it's available on the US store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 GTHD is gone from US store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I think GTHD demo is still there on European store. Different user profile for different region store. Create new user profile for each store. I've made profiles with names like Eur, Jap, HK etc to make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightySkate Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 You've got tons of stuff to download and those will keep you busy for a long time to come... You should also check out the demos for GRAW 2, F1 CE and so on.. I personally never get tired of playing F1 CE coz you've got so many possibilities of choosing any driver but only on 2 tracks and the outcomes are fun and different.
