I run my PS3 via a wired connection as well but I never let it automatically assign the IP and stuff. I would recommand in your network settings on the PS3 assign it an IP address and enter the information manually. Although I run Bigpond internet here so my connection was alot more of a pain in the arse to setup because I had to change the IP address of my router so it wouldn't conflict with the IP address that the bigpond router was trying to assign. Also put your PS3 in the DMZ zone of your router so you don't have port issues with playing games as well.

On your PC if you goto "Start" then "Run" type in "cmd" and that should bring up your command prompt.

In the command prompt type in "ipconfig /all" and that will bring up settings for the PC which should have all the info you need for the PS3.

On the PS3 assign it an IP that isn't being used by your PC or any other PC in the house.

To get the subnet mask etc etc it should be listed when you typed in "ipconfig /all" on your PC so just copy that data onto your PS3 and see how it goes.

If you have any trouble let me know. By assigning the PS3 its own IP address that way you can enter that IP address in your router in the DMZ and not worry about the router assign the PS3 a different IP.

Actually just double checking is it being connected via a router or straight from the optus modem?

There is 3 ways that come to mind to get an internet signal via an ethernet cable to the PS3 let me know which one you have.

1. Cable modem (in your case optus modem) plugged directly into the ps3 via ethernet cable (No network access just internet)

2. Cable modem being plugged into your PC (via usb or ethernet) then lined out via ethernet to the PS3 or a switch (PC needs to be on for internet)

3.Cable modem lined into a router via ethernet cable then cables from the router goto the PC and PS3 (Internet and Network Access. Prefered Method)

Make Sure your not using a Cross-over cat 5/6 cable. when your sure u have right cable. turn off your cable modem (unplug it), and leave network cable unplugged ( but leave ps3 end pluged in). turn modem power on (plug it in), wait till power light on modem comes on, then wait till recieve light comes on, then plug network cable in. then go to your internet connection setup, chose wired connection-yada yada. select Automatic setting for everything. Once it has configured its settings, it should work. i know quite a few ppl with optus cablenet with PS3's and none have had a problem. If this doesnt work than ill bet your PS3 network hardware is Cactus. Take it back and get another one.

P.S dont even bother with Wireless as it is Insanly slow compared to Wired.. my PS3 downloads way faster than my PC. 1.2MB/s WOOT.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
