Temporary, I must admit, you picked the perfect shot of Bolton. I think that's taken directly from when the slow frame gangsta music is going on when they implant the virus.

That one chick has walked by and waves "Hi Micheal Bolton!" He proceeds to look directly into the camera with a look of extreme disgust and revulsion.

I love that scene.
 
Oh snap, it's a GET.

[quote name='corrosivefrost']Sounds like you have cat5 cables connecting everything. I'm trying to avoid the hassle of moving the router/modem/phone back downstairs out of the office. The main problem with the wireless in the 3 is that it likes to force chika's laptop off the network and that i still get the intermittent PSN access errors (8002AA08).

I ran across a post from a user over on the PSN forums saying he got around the (8002AA08) errors by disabling uPnP and using port forwarding... but that shit's a bit out of my networking experience range. And it still doesn't address the issue of the dueling wireless with chika's laptop.[/quote]Yes, I have CAT5e cables hooking everything together on that switch. I have another switch in the room with the router that has my two printers hooked into it, and a CAT5e line around the perimeter of the room. One Tivo hooked in wired to the router, five Tivos hooked in wirelessly, plus my laptop, my wife's laptop, and my work laptop. Busy little home network, and about to change over to WPA tomorrow, when I finally have some time to do it.

I have uPNP turned off, and never see any real reason for it with what I have on my network. That might be the root cause of your issue, since I can't see the PS3 needing it for its operation. I'd try turning that off as a start. Port forwarding isn't that bad of an issue, as you just need to static the device you'll be port forwarding to, find out what ports it needs to talk on, and set up the forwards. Info for your router should show you what needs to be done.

[quote name='Mojimbo']Wouldn't giving the PS3 and PC each static IP addresses fix the conflict?[/quote]

PS3 is static.

Laptop is DHCP.

My guess is that the problem has to do with the wireless signals from the two cards fucking up each other's business. I had a user at work who had just gotten a new phone at home (2.4 GHz, I believe)... just so happened that it was on the same exactly frequency as the wireless card in his laptop. Phone rang, laptop connection dropped.

This is similar... PS3 wakes up, starts using wireless antenna, laptop connection drops... it's more aggravating and inconvienent than anything.

[quote name='dallow']Why is your PS3 static?

And yeah, sounds like a lot of crosstalk with your wifi signals.[/quote]No reason to set it up with a DHCP address, as it's not likely to be going anywhere. I should static IP my consoles, just for traffic analysis purposes.

See, the problem with my network is location -- wireless makes EVERYTHING work, because there are only two cable drops in the house -- a line that comes in off the ground level in the back and into the family room, and a line that comes up through the floor into the office on the top floor. In the interest of keeping things nice and giving the router/modem the strongest connection I could, I moved it up to the office -- our two laptops usually run fine wirelessly down in the family room. However, since the big 3 came into play, my connection drops more often than it ever does and hers drops any time the PS3 wakes up. I really don't want to have to move the router back downstairs (and the VoIP phone/converter with it) just to make the PS3 wired, which is why I would consider buying an access point/switch... if the PS3 could wirejack into the access point and the AP could connect to the router upstairs wirelessly, I'd look into it.

The uPnP crap may end up solving my PSN issue... and while I know how to forward ports inside the router, I'd have no clue which ports would need forwarding with regards to the PS3... I could make the PS3 the DMZ box for the network since it is static... how likely is it that this would help? And how much risk would the PS3 be at for being hax3d?

Rule of thumb is anything that can have a static IP address should, at least as far as I'm concerned.

This rule started when I was playing around with FF3 DS and kept having to reset the fucking router cause the DS would grab a new address via DHCP every damn time I went to check my mognet messages. It would then throw the IP address away, but the router wouldn't recycle it, since it hadn't expired. My router doesn't hand out DHCP addresses like candy as part of my security (there are 3 laptops and 2 DSes, and prior to this incident, chika's laptop was static, so there were potentially 4 boxes, so I left a total of 12 or so DHCP addresses for the taking with 12 or 24 hour leases).

I'm betting that might fix the issues without any other changes. Tossing the PS3 into the DMZ won't fix any issues it's causing on your network, though it may fix the issues with your PSN connection problems. Unless the PS3 was running Linux, I can't see anyone hacking into it, though there's always some idiot figuring out something new every day.

If you wanted to make the PS3 wired via an access point + switch, then you'd have yourself covered for any other console you have nearby, such as a 360. The Wii would need an Ethernet adapter to go wired, though I've heard enough oddities about it going wireless that I'd rather go wired with it and not worry about it.

My PS3's 120GB drive is down to 36GB free.

156 videos and 49 demos/games. All from the PSN store, nothing I added from elsewhere.

Time to start cleaning the trash.

And yeah casey, thanks for the BF ad.
Nice to see them popping up.
C'mon 46" TV!
 
Yea I want a new TV as well. I would love to get a decent TV for a good price (I don't really have any specifics because it all depends on brand, size etc).

So was my Olevia, but only 27".
It was fine in my old bedroom, but in the new apartment's living room, it's painfully small.

I AMOST bought an older 50" slim DLP from Samsung a couple days ago at Fry's.
If a sales associate had walked up to me as I was drooling, I probably would have.

(a) if you were really nice, you'd get a demo for me and mail it on up.
(b) you replaced your PS3s HD, huh... how hard was that to do? Cause I'm noticing as I download all these demos that my space is rapidly dwindling.
 
[quote name='Mike23']You know what's annoying. School at 3:30 on Friday. Weak.[/quote]

Agreed. Especially when the teacher just loves to keep us late too.
 
Can't you just hook up an external drive for extra storage?

Also I am definately keeping my eyes peeled this year. I don't know if I will end up camping out like I did last year since it was nuts last year, but hopefully I can just snag some stuff online (like a TV). If there are hella good sales I may end up camping though.

It's super easy to change out the PS3 drive.
I had problems with mine though because the screws on the bay were tightened by angry gorillas.

There's instructions on how to do it all over the net, as well as in your PS3 manual.

It's 5 screws total, and it uses any 2.5" SATA drive.


Casey, yeah, but you can't install demos on an external drive.
 
That sucks, but then again I won't need anything bigger than 60. I have like 4 demos installed and one video. Once I get Resistance and Ninja Gaiden I can go ahead and delete two of the demos (I didn't really care for Folklore or Heavenly Sword so I will probably delete those next time I boot up the triple).

Accept your friend requests too, rybread!

I have the NGS demo installed... I keep beating it and opening up the next difficulty level... it should be interesting the next time I try it. :lol::cool:

Resistance I just flat out bought with a 10% coupin and a $5 RZ cert. The rest went on a GC I had kicking around... still got something like 13 bucks on it too. :lol:
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']A deal like this I don't think I could pass on this year. I'd have to find the money somewhere... third job, ahoy![/quote]I scraped up the money and bought it around 10:30AM, after I had made the rounds to mutliple BB's & CC's trying to find one of the 32" models on-sale. Found the info posted on AVSForum.com, though it didn't hit FW or SD until 4-5 hours later, thankfully. Once it hit there, that's when the influx of orders came in and caused them to backorder a whole bunch of orders that took weeks to a month or more to fulfill.

You might want to check on there around BF to see if there are any deals.

Will do. I have not looked at that since I have not been playing too much triple lately and when I do I usually just boot up Metal Gear.
