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.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
