IP Address - This will need to have the Static IP address in it. This will display a page where customisable IP Addresses are available to be selected. The option "Manual" will need to be selected. Another page will then display entitled "IP Address Setting".

As this is different, and obviously will change, it would be stupid setting a DMZ up on one of the above Ip addresses, unless your PS3 was the only device that would ALWAYS connect using that specific IP. However, if you choose to use your PS3 without the computer being on, the assigned IP address your PS3 has will be 192.168.1.2. So for example, if your PS3 is the second device communicating with your router, then it will be assigned an ip address of 192.168.1.3. These IP addresses typically run in series. This means that everytime your PS3 connects or "talks" to your router, the router will assign it a different internal IP address.

One of these days I’ll hardwire it.Alright so I've been seeing many people on here with network/router problems so i decided to post this here.įirstly you may be wondering what a DMZ is, this stands for a demilitarized zone.

PSM is updated on a fairly regular basis and the PSM team is always patching new bugs, adding tweaks etc. Save and restart PS3 Media Server and you should be back in business!
