Sign-Up for PlayStation Netork

[CrimsonSoul]

I figured it out with a little research (cause I fubar'd things when they were working). It's suppose to say "Playstation Network" for the title...but I was trying to type too quickly.

Ok, so I managed to use this to actually bypass the "Sign-up for Playstation Network" and the information that's on http://psgroove.com/content.php?722-...PSN-Workaround didn't work for me. Soooo....this is what I did.

I Google'd to find a different DNS other than the one I found a while ago because it either wasn't working or I messed up a step trying different methods till one worked. (I'm not going to tell you the DNS for factors it's still considered "circumventing") I will say this much, it would be x.202.x.x (x = number).

So this is what I did. (I disabled the Media Server Connection because personally I never did figure out what server it's connecting to and I'm not for people just connecting to my stuff for no reason).

01. Go into Internet Connection under Network Settings in the XMB
02. Make yourself a sandwich (omit)
03. "Select a setting method", choose "Custom" then press right on the d-pad
04. If you're using a "Wired Connection" select it (because Wireless sucks!) otherwise choose the later option.
05. Let it "Auto-Detect" the network device
06. For the "IP Address Setting" again, "Automatic"
07. For the "DHCP host name" select "Do Not Set"
08. Take a poop...because you may need to!
09. This is just a side note/bar because some people have WEP etc encryption setup and that's fine. Make sure you're stuff on your end is set up properly there otherwise everyone else can omit this step.
10. "DNS Setting" if you were brave you found the DNS number I was referring to earlier (or the *coughutubecough* video with it). Here you'd select manual and enter the number in the "Primary DNS" and in the "Secondary DNS".
11. "MTU" select "Automatic"
12. "Proxy Server" select "Do Not Use"
13. "UPnP" select "Disable"

Yay!! Now you're at the end where it says "Press the X button to Save Settings". After you press X, it's going to ask you to "Test Connection". Everything should come back "Succeeded" (if you did everything properly).

Now, run the proxy program with everything on default (if you're running 3.55) other versions, I dunno if it will work or not, you'll have to test it and find out. Don't forget to click start on the proxy program.

When you goto "Sign-up for Playstation Network" it should bypass Sony's update. (This is everything I did and it worked...I'd hate to recreate the screwup I did a few weeks ago, but if I have to I shall to revamp the notes if enough people still can't get pass that screen).

From there you should be able to enter in your account information and log on. Hopefully this helps and works for those that couldn't get on.

BTW!!! You only have to run the proxy program once...after the DNS is setup you're good to go!

It was all in good humor actually. Everyone's so serious on this site...like lemmings or mindless drones.

They can see your system but cant connect to it without permission

You on the other hand can connect to them at will if they don't have a password on the currently loaded account (This is where the guest account fails in windows)

About 5 years ago when my uncle got his ps3 my neighbors media server popped up and hot dam there was massive amounts of xxx and Hentai on it and the person kep downloading and download until he needed a bigger HDD there was so much it would crash the ps3 after an hour or so of loading media files. the person never found out we were leeching from his media though

Just by having a laptop or using Windows media player (OR vaio media plus) your computer will create a media server and allow others to connect to it at will if you don't have a password on your account (So long as your under the same network)

i can say the media server is bugged the hell out with anything trying to use it i get randomly disconnected ALL THE TIME and never get through a full song without massive lag its useless and crappy unless you have a Godly router

its a cheep alternative to play media on your ps3 without losing memory <.<

Best setup: 1TB External drive (With all media) > i7 laptop with internal drive > Premium Linksys router with network media streaming > New ps3

Trash setup: 250gig intel dual core vaio > 3 year old ps3

Thanks for that tidbit of information. Basically it's a useless feature for me.

Hey, I needed a good laugh at work. Keep up the humor. I crack little jokes here and there and they go so unnoticed I've almost stopped.

Gotta be like Pringles!

Side note though because I saw you linked to this information on another topic, (so for the new comers reading this) the DNS doesn't work anymore. Sony patched the hell out of it apparently! lol

Since it doesn't work anymore it was 67.202.81.137.

Damn, I was just about to ask you if it worked... NVM. I thought maybe this one would work. Damn.
