Are there any free programs like simple dns plus? This program is only good for 14 days and then requires a license key which costs $79. If we could get a free program, that would be great.

ok i tried all of the suggestions and still can't get this to work... question... i have a 60 gb ps3... even though it is wireless do you have to use the ethernet cable to the wireless router for this to work?

Great job guys! Thanks for the information. It's a shame that other sites are breaking this news too... and not giving credit where credit is due.

Thanks again!!!

Works Perfect.

I am also curious about the possibility of downgrading. But since Im still at 1.32 and the ISO loader works with that, I have no reason to downgrade.

Thanks for the windows tut

when i go to configure my ps3, what ip adresses go where? here is what my ip adresses look like:

I couldn't get this to work. Maybe i was doing somthing wrong. Anyway im fed up of running windows trying to get this to work. Are there any programs that this would work on the mac.

After much reading..... this is the message that I've been waiting to read!!

But also, can it be done using a terminal window using OSX??

I followed all the instructions to a T and still nothing... frustration is setting in... lol i'm wondering if it is my wireless router... scratches temple.

(like in 360 how you have to update like ever new game lol) just dont wanna hit "update" and it be the firmware one lol

I'm pretty sure it's the game's update. Btw, nice work on the guides guys. I'll be sure to test this out. Can't wait to see where this leads next. :grin:
