I wish to share my noob experience setup a direct connection with my PS3 with D-LINK DSL 520B ADSL2 Modem

The modem was bought here a price RM90 from local PC shop. Previously I'm connecting the PS3 system to the internet via Linksys AM300 modem, but after long 2 years hard used the modem was come to its end.

After a while back then i'm trying to buy the same model above but non of it available at my place here.

So here come the new D-LINK 520B...


To get this straight, i can't get access to the internet after the whole day configuring out the modem with my PS3 (usual manual wired configuration setting like my old AM300 modem), well to make things worst i don't even had a PC or Laptop to start with, everything need to be goes & back to my office in getting information & help from the net.

Been read this & those from networking thread & I thank em very2 much in sort up this thing.

For those who'd just buy this type of modem do note this.
The modem MEAN to be configured with his SETUP DISC
DO NOT THROW THE DISC AWAY NO MATTER WHAT

Through my experiences, manual setup via wired setting that require username & password on PS3 XMB setting was not possible (I'd wasted so many time configuring it like my previous Linksys AM300 but its still failed, probably i'm so noob in networking)

Like i said this modem setup MUST be done with his setup disc, it will prompt with setup guide, country, ISP, username & password within the modem with their setup disc on a computer.

After done, connect it with you PS3 system using a wired > then select easy setting + wallaaa you are now ONLINE~

Cheers & i'lm sorry for my cheap story telling...

owh, juz now i check out it while boot the system up its mention NAT: failed???but ip adress & other numerical were all in order, so weird...
i'll update and double confirm the status by this eve...but everything was normal just now.

UPDATING
UPNP: Not available
NAT Type: Failed

atm i guess it will be fine just leave it that way, don't want to mess up with the current setting, as long as i'm onlene can see you guy it would be enough already.

Cheers!

online gaming no problem so far, tested with warhawk, re5 & bf1943 demo works great...

well it happen to me on those modem, previously its smooth by using Linksys AM300 on a PS3, setup in manual wired connection, just need to input user name & password that it.

with D-Link 520B i can't event get thru with those setting, like i said b4 i'm really failed in networking. I'd to ask my boss to help me configuring it via his lappy oso failed by using usual Window Conection Wizard...
