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.

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
