This finally solved many frustrating hours. Just wish it was many pages before 34.

My trial hasn't expired, but I got the crack for the full version anyway, but it's still no good.

What happens if you simply deny access to the firmware update server? For example, setting your router to prevent traffic to/from that site.

From the very start I figured this would work as they would have to have built in a timeout, otherwise problems with their servers or any vast number of other potential problems that might prevent access to their servers would screw over PS3 users wanting to get online at that time.

Anyone know?

PDX already said that it will come if and when its ready... chances are that if theres gunna be a NEW FW update this month (1.60) they will most likley wait til it will work with that firmware... give it a couple weeks

I'm on 1.51 and could not get it to work with Simple DNS over wireless.

Not sure if you tried this out yet but you can easily bypass the firmware using ps3 proxy server, if you're on 1.51.
