NASCAR Truck Series S5 - Spurgy, Pepsi Racing Champions!

it's odd but the truck likes to have its nose down lower than the rear getting faster at Indy I can run turn 4 full throttle now.

Surely that increases tyre wear?

Care to share, fellow teammate and networking guru?

OK. Putting your PS3 in the DMZ in your router is only half the battle, the other half of the story lies within how your PS3 connects to the internet.

You must first find out your PS3’s IP address, you can find this in settings/Network settings/internet connection test.

In your PS3 go to settings/Network settings/internet connection settings and configure your set up manually

Here is mine for reference:

IP address 192.168.0.5
Subnet mask: 225.225.255.0
Default router: 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220
MTU: Auto (bypass)
Proxy server: do not use
Upnp: Available.

My PS3's IP address matches the IP address in my routers DMZ. If for whatever reason it changes then I must redo the set up procedure for the PS3 to match

This way everything within the PS3 remains static until you tell it do otherwise.

maybe I don't know running a 56.1 online now on a good lap. How many laps can you guys do? still can't do full throttle all the way around but I'm pretty close minimal lifting and a bit of braking. Ran 20 laps before I had to pit.

 

[jammy21]

Why your pri.DNS and sec.DNS are different IP space (208.*) than your router (192.*)?

IP address 192.168.0.5
Default router: 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220

The Primary and secondary DNS numbers are undoubtedly the IP addresses for the PlayStation servers

 

[jammy21]

So your router doesn't give DNS services to your PS3 and your PS3 does request DNS services by passing your router (DMZ) and goes directly to the server to get DNS.

Correct......I think

 

[Furinkazen]

Yeah its do with port forwarding right?

Wrong mate. If your PS3 is in the DMZ you don't need to open any ports as your PS3 is outside the restrictions of your modem/router (i.e. closed ports, firewall)

So its as if your PS3 is connected directly to the internet.

It would appear that the primary and secondry DNS is the input/output address for the playstation server.

Setting it up manually with you inputting the IP addresses saves your PS3 looking around and doing the job itself.

I wish I knew what you guy's were on about, I just plug the duva into that thing and flick this switch and wait for the bright things to shine then play online

Fox, couldn't you do a tutorial to do that?

 

[FlyingFox]

Fox, couldn't you do a tutorial to do that?

If I took the time (and with the help of my daughter, who really is an internet guru) I could write a paper on the subject.

But I may just do a tutorial instead and put it on the help forum.

That's what I meant, and I really need it, since my PS3 has been having problems to connect to the wifi.. I know it's wifi isn't really strong, but it's got worse since I got it in May 2011.

 

[Ganon83]

Here's some fun- read Fox's posts in Mater's voice. You won't be disappointed

 

[Furinkazen]

More fun. New update has tweaked physics. Again.

LMAO, I just did and nearly barfed up a lung coughing.

Physics haven't changed, the arithmetic has

What type of connection you get with this setup? NAT1 or NAT2?
(i'm interested of this because i've to do some setting myseft to PS3 and to my router)

Correct......I think

[Furinkazen]

NAT2 is preferable.

PS3 NAT Types

In the network settings of the PS3, it uses 3 different NAT types to classify how the PS3 is connected to the Internet:

Type 1: The PS3 is sitting directly on the Internet with a public IP address. This setup doesn’t require NAT or inbound port forwarding and is used in scenarios where the PS3 is the only device wanting to use the Internet connection. This isn’t that common as most users share their Internet connection with other devices in their home.

Type 2: This is the most common and ideal type where the PS3 is sitting behind a RG that is performing NAT. The PS3 will have a private IP address which is translated to a private or public IP address by the RG.

Type 3: This usually implies you have a problem in the way the PS3 is accessing the Internet. This may be caused by a firewall or port restrictions. This isn’t ideal and will result in a sub-optimal gaming experience.

The difference between a Type 2 and Type 1 NAT is usually physical and can’t be changed by settings alone. If you have a Type 2 or higher NAT type then you are connected correctly and can have an optimal gaming experience.

RG=Residential Gateway

 

[jammy21]

So you get NAT2?

 

[FlyingFox]

I get NAT 2 all the time as my PS3 is connected to the internet via a router, but seeing as its in the DMZ does not comply with any restrictions laid down by the router

Also if your NAT 2 your PS3 cannot be attacked by a hacker

 

[jammy21]

Thx. I did get NAT1 for while but something happened and lose it. Now don't get direct connection anymore, but using router i get now NAT2. Those DNS setting were new to me so i'll try if they work for me too. My DNS addresses are my router's addresses.

I always have to use NAT 3 to get in a room because I see 2-5 people with loading bars to have the uncc off. I have to turn the uncc off. With NAT 2 the uncc is on.

Then you have a serious problem

 

[JakobNascar88]

What type of problem? I am on wifi too.

 

[Furinkazen]

Something is very weird there. Anyone done any motegi testing?

 

[chrisjohnson93]

why has the update changed something?
