Forget about all this *DNS crap (SimpleDNS / PowerDNS)

The ONLY soft you need is "PS3 Proxy by 3r1c" which can be found on this forum, that's ALL.

fukubei: Thanks for this, it did the job perfectly. Although it took me several hours of doing it over and over again to figure out that I needed to put in the periods when I was inputting the proxy IP. I was doing it as just one long string of numbers, and it would just refuse to establish a connection. Me = dumb.

But everything's working great now. Got the Hot Shots Golf demo last night, and am downloading the Resistance demo while I'm at work. Thanks again!

Use the 3r1cs proxy server program.

Yep, I also got it working and I'm in the UK.

Used the same method as asdfroflolmao but changed the ps3-updatelist.txt to include this without the quotes

Code:

"# UK
Dest=84;ImageVersion=00000000;SystemSoftwareVersion=0.00;CDN=http://www.ps3news.com/;CDN_Timeout=30;"

Also changed the replace files field in the PS3.ProxyServer.GUI App to use this but with the quotes

Code:

"http://fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net/update/ps3/list/uk/ps3-updatelist.txt"

For some reason in the PS3.ProxyServer.GUI App i had to use my IP address rather than the router.

Thanks asdfroflolmao and to Pustbunker for pointing me in the right direction.

Im getting the same problem. Using the 3r1c Proxy program I made sure the proxy on the ps3 was set to the address it told me too.

In the DNS part do I need to tell it to look at the same address? Or do I just input the dns adresses my isp give me? Just to confirm, im a UK user with a 1.50 ps3, when I try to sign up it just asks for a system update.

However I was thinking, could this be because I previously tried to connect earlier without doing any of the bypassing. And when I did try to connect they have put something on my ps3 that will not alow me to do this no matter what?

Leave your IP and DNS settings as auto, and only input the info it gives you for the proxy settings.

Hi M8,

If your ISP gives you an auto (dhcp) dns address as most do in the UK then you need to choose the other option in the PS3 network settings that don't ask for the dns details.

Can't check now as i'm downloading GT HD but the only manual change you need to do in the PS3 network setings is to "use" the proxy server address.

Don't worry about trying to connect without bypassing, it happened to me a few times until I got it right.

Good Luck. ;-)

Just got my PS3 today, and want to register so i can get my copy of Casino Royale, but i can as i have to upgrade to the latest version which is a not an option for me. I can honestly say that i do not have a clue on this. I got hold of PS3 Proxy by 3r1c, loaded it up.

It tells me to put my IP address and Proxy in, where on earth in the PS3 do i do that?

Also does this void warranty?

hi guys sorry dont flame me but do i need to connect my ps3 and pc to a router.

then use the Simple DNS Plus program to enter these settings
fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net
duk01.ps3.update.playstation.net

with an IP address of 67.15.88.46

is this bit right,

i then go to the ps3 and change the settings to read the same ip address as the dns program

a big thank you to any one that helps thank you

please any one a little help
