Hi, just to say that where you need to open up ports may be under the heading of "NAT Setup" or something similar depending on the router, also enable UPnP on the router.

That sign now pops up on my computer every 5 mins when i have my PC and PS3 connected. :'(

This sounds to me like the router isn't yours yes ? Are you connecting to a shared router in a college dorm or school building or something ? I have a netgear router and the port forwarding comes under the title "applications and gaming"

If your router (or gateway) IP is 81.39.88.1
and your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
You can use the IP's 81.39.88.2 right through to 81.39.88.254
So.. Set either your computer or your PS3 to a different IP, try 81.39.88.3 or 81.39.88.4

By the way Alias, are you using your PS3 as a web server ? You have port 80 and 443 forwarded to your Playstation which are both internet ports, your playstation should not be accepting requests on these ports and doesn't need to be configured for outgoing...

Well, i dont have a PS3 yet... Cant afford one but when it comes to PC tech talk i no what im doing Its all pretty similar to getting the ps2 online though which i have.

Also, about the port quirey, i wasnt sure about them to ports my self, i use them for other things so they can get through to the internet so i guessed the ps3 may need them

Anyways... I did type that all up by my self, is it helpful?

Hi, can you help me out here? Not quite sure what to do...

Here's what I get on the config screen after I go into 'run' and 'command'

Windows IP Configuration

Default Gateway : 80.47.124.95
DNS Servers : 212.139.132.4
212. 139.132.5

Now I think I've got two ideas of how to set up the PS3 online...

A) Connect the wired internet at my house to my laptop, and connect the PS3's ethernet cable to it, and make adjustments. I've set up the wires and all, but do I need to change the settings on the PS3 itself to accomodate for this?

B) Set up a wireless server from my laptop and use the wi-fi on the PS3 from there. Not sure if this is possible, if it is, how do I do it?

Any help will be appreciated!
