the 2.2 2.3 2.4 and 2.5 thingy is dynamic dhcp client list or static dhcp client list?

maybe that list only list clients that obtain ip from the dhcp server dynamically. if you set the PS3 ip manually, it wont show on the dynamic dhcp list..

upnp must be enabled on the router.. but since you put it under dmz, upnp is no longer needed i think.. but other p2p apps on other devices may still need it.

Hi Vorchiel,
.
I would assume that this is the dynamic dhcp client list since I’ve never set my laptop or other machine to see specific IP add. Only my PS3 I set as 2.10 but even so it does not appear under the client listing……oic if that’s what really happen as I thought that the client listing would show all the client that is hooked to my router.
.
But surprisingly, my belkin showing ip add 2.3 is listed but showing an empty host name. As soon as I turn on my touch and access my router, the client-listing auto-change the host name for 2.3 from empty to ipod touch.
.
I assume the above is normal if switch on touch then address 2.3 appear together with host name. But in this scenario 2.3 is already there. Does this mean my router only can handle 4 address at the moment? Cannot be right? since the dhcp is set for 0-100.

sometimes they 'cache' (for a certain amount of time) the respective MAC in the router memory and 'reserves' the IP according to the MAC (even if the device is not connected yet). so everytime your touch reconnects, it will get the 2.3 ip & the router will update the hostname in the list..

in my setup, i'm more comfortable with static dhcp though (not static ip), coz i dont have to check the client table to know which ip is assigned to which device

ooo comprende, now I understand so in this scenario, it’s like static dhcp laaaa…will try again tonight to configure 2.4 to PS3 directly and DMZ it and see what happens…….
.
btw under the PS3 manual network setup, can I know what do you input for
a) DNS server?
b) MTU – is it auto or manual? Mine is auto
c) Proxy Server – Auto or manual? Mine is auto
d) Upnp – enable or disable? Mine is enable
.
any diff?

yep but not truly static dhcp

there is a page in the router to set static dhcp according to the mac address.

dns auto
mtu auto
proxy disable
upnp can only be enabled if you already enabled upnp in the router

can you browse using ps3 browser & psn sign in? if you can, i think the connection is already okay btw router and ps3, the problem is with btw the router <--> internet

your setup is via easy setup I suppose under ps3 right? Since the DNS is auto. Reason being is if setup ip manually, therefore via ps3 we need to input the ip add, subnet mask (already input by ps3), router ip add (already input by ps3) and also the primary and secondary DNS server. For mine I punched in prime 202.188.0.133 and second 202.188.1.5, got this number from the internet which is streamyx DNS server. Correct or not?
.
okay to your second question, I can browse using the Ps3 browser, went to google and espn but connection slow despite my signal strength is 70%. I’m able to register myself to psn network psn id ‘arachnod’ but upon trying to sign in psn, it loads forever and gives me server do not response and time out.
.
I can’t remember upon registering psn id to which psn I registered i.e. SG, US or etc. could this be d problem on why the psn server is ignoring me?

i just use 'easy' connection on ps3 as i already set up static dhcp for every devices in my router.. so for every device in my network, they all can use 'auto dhcp /easy' setup.. no need to enter various settings.

yes the dns ip adds you entered are tmnet's dns servers, so it is correct.. it might be because of psn maintenance i think.. because i read somewhere there is an emergency maintenance

about the psn id country, it doesnt matter.. i'm sure many ppl here have at least 3 psn ids from various countries

vorchiel,
.
Thanks much and will try again as per your recomendation...anyway dun think its due to psn maintenance laaa else all of you would not get access oso right???
.
sigh it's just me kot???

i dont know about the psn login problem thingy.. because the ps3 is at my cousin's house.. i'm just lurking here

why do i have to update the firmware? wat happend if i don update?
my games data will lost or not?

you cannot log in to ps network...
and download games..

ic.. thanks would i lost my games data after i update?

Obviously not.

Is the PSN network having problem ??
I'm having a hard time to login the PSN network...
Us, Jap, EU, account.....all failed..

But i can browse the net using the PS3 browser and resume downloading the demo.

Playstation Official Website do recomended for all PS3 owners to upgrade to the latest firmware for their system..I believe each upgrade will improve ur PS3 here and there.

It's safe to upgrade to FW 2.50. Added features are option to auto turn off DS3 after 10mins without usage (cool!!)

alot of weird questions coming up.. lolz!! if your ps3 wont work better with updates why would they even bother to release better firmware? OMFG

new firmware doesnt mean will always better..
new one might fix previous bug but might have new bug too..

Hi kenishi,
.
ur having problem as well? Is it time out oproblem with the PSN network???? Since I'm having that as well. I'm able to surf the net (but slow) but whne trying to log in to psn network, ps3 would load and load and load and in the end it'll see connection timeout please check network setting. checked the network setting and see signal is around 70%...so how laa???
.
Anyway vorchiel, changed to add 2.4 and re setup again the virtual server from 2.10 to 2.4 to open port. Also enabled upnpu (is it right?) and further dmz 2.4...... nothing happen oso and still cannot log on to PSN network.....dang.....
.
Btw the problem faced by kenishi and me, is everyone else having problem? Think I've register for SG PSN. Anyone getting problem here?

testing....
