Hi all!

thought of starting a thread for linux users that don't have access to Windows, and therefor can't use the PS3 Proxy method for Windows.

Was just thinking of how to do it, and theoretically, I believe it's possible. Will test later tonight as I've thought out the process of doing it. However, it won't be so easy as the point and click option for Windows, but it should work. Will fill in details if it is successful and/or there are interested linux users.

yea, definitely squid. I was thinking of doing a really rough job (so I can download KZ2 hehe). grab the url from squid, download the file via whatever method, get apache up and configured, edit the hosts file to point the url to localhost, and see if that'll work. if the url redirect works, then even better.

got it to work...need to remember what i did tho...hahaha

This is tested only on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). YMMV.


1) Install the following software if you don't have it already:



You can substitute lighttpd with apache or whatever it is you want to use for the httpd server.

2) Configure squid

I only did a basic configuration, editing the following in /etc/squid/squid.conf:



3) Configure jesred

jesred.acl
uncomment 0.0.0.0/0

jesred.rules

create a regex for the url to the file you want to download. you can get the url from /var/log/squid/access.log



4) Configure lighttpd

nothing much to configure. it runs out of /var/www by default. Just save your saved .pkg file there.



Hope that works for you!

faster downloads of stuff?

prolly if you can find similar punya software, i rasa bole kot...

Only use multi-homed setup if you know what you're doing. If you don't, then you're just beating round the bush with that two-card setup.

I suggest you do what vorchiel suggested:

PC is hooked up to switch
PS3 is hooked up to switch
Switch is hooked up to internet

Setup the proxy on your PC as per instructions.
Configure your PS3 to use the said proxy to access internet.
Follow rest of instructions on getting your pkg files

You want to configure the PS3 to use your PC as a proxy. They don't need to be connected together via cross cable. I'm assuming you have a switch or a router with extra ports? Just hook up the PC to one port, and the PS3 to another port. Make sure the proxy is running on the PC, and configure the PS3 to use that proxy.

Set an IP manually for your PS3. Make sure its on the same subnet as your PC for ease of use.

put your ps3 on the same subnet as your PC. based on your info, you can use something like this:

10.10.167.202

what's your native language? your linux distro doesn't use english?

why don't you try setting your PS3 ip to 10.10.167.203? then use the following in squid:

acl ps3 src 10.10.167.203
