Pls advice me =)

I suppose you use 2 realtek network cards, one with IP from provider and another one with local (private) IP.
Try to use second Realtek interface not the one with IP 83.253.xxx.xx.
I mean, force using "Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)", not "#2". IP could be 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x or something like this.
And please delete your public IP from LOGs here because you are asking for troubles

[Fridaybrew]

Thank you for your reply!
Im far beyond my comfort zone here lol so bare with me =)
I have 2 ports for network on my PMS pc a 100 mbit which is the one used and a Gbit port unused.
In PMS i only have two options in "force networking":
1/software loopback interface 1
2/Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) #2

I've tried #2 option without filling in the other stuff beneath it "force ip" and "force port" cause thats over my head now.
i didnt detect the PS3.

I think it is so weird cause it was so increadibly simple and truly plug and play with my other setup. My noob estimate was that skipping the router inbetween and only having a switch between would be even better and simplier. Man i was proven wrong.

Thank you for your input its truly appreciated!
I will edit my ip thanks for the heads up on that =)

[ExSport]

You "picture" says us that 2 cables connects your PC and switch Edit: I overlooked 2PC=2cables:-)
Try to check your firewall and also in versions below v1.04 you need to start PS3 at first and then PMS.
Also please post your IP on PS3. It have to be from same subnet!!!
If your PS3 and PC have mask set to 255.255.255.0, then your PS3 needs to have IP in range x.x.x.2-254. "x" substitute with same number as on your PC
If your PS3 IP is different, then it is in another subnet and it is logical that they don't see each other.

[Fridaybrew]

OK! Have no experience trying to write out connection charts before so =)
I looked for 1.04 earlier today cause that was my first instict to update if possible =) I Read in the blog about fixed in 1.04 but didnt find a source to dl from. (got stressed also had to do laundry.....fun times *lol*).
I will try those things or update and then have to do the same things lol i guess.
I think also i understand what has to be done so thank you for beeing so clear =)

No you don't. I've always started PMS and then the PS3 and it worked fine.

Not sure where 1.04 is because the site only has 1.03.

[ExSport]

Read also other post here in forum and you will know
v1.04 is upcoming version, you need compile it by own or wait for official v1.04. In older versions lot of people had problems when PMS was started at first. PMS at start sends message "I am here!" and if PS3 is online, server is detected by PS3. But if PS3 is bringed online after PMS, PS3 sends request "Who's there" but PMS will not answer because v1.03 and older did periodic updates only.
If you choosed "Search for media servers", nothing was found. For someone after some time PMS was detected(periodic update made by PMS was detected on PS3) but for someone PMS was invisible for them.
Because that I wrote a hint to start PMS when PS3 is already online to avoid this possible bug. Nothing more

So i messed around with the internet settings on the ps3.
I set it up so i changed the ps3 IP x.x.x.Y , i also noticed that the ps3 had a different netmask than the typical 255.255.255.0 so i changed into matching the 255.255.255.0 . My concern here is i have auto setting on my tcp/ip4 so im not 100% on it beeing 255.255.255.0 . I keept the standard router number and all other numbers the same as before on the ps3. No success =(
How can i see my pcs netmask number easily? Since i cant find it in the tcp/ip4 tab undernetwork settings since it set to automatic.

I havent done anything other than changing the harwaresettup as shown in the first msg above. So i cant imagine it to be any firewall issues on the PC-side atleast. Since i'm using the switch and not connecting through the router itself i'm guessing that the router is sort of a none issue, pls correct me if wrong (that goes for anything that i write lol).

The most confusing part for me personally is that i have fully functionall internet on both ps3 and PC with automatic internet setup (that is before i go and mess it up with trying do the stuff in this msg cause then internet is down). I'm like ok pc you got internet , ps3 you got internet ....CMON! ! ! talk to eachother ! why cant you just get along like you did 2-3 days ago??? Frustrated indeed =)

Thanks for any assistance!

THis entire ordeal makes me feel dumped by my Ps3 *LMAO*. I remincing the good times with movies and tvseries and now its just a game console *lol*

does your router allow UPNP? did any other hardware change? or just change ISP?

to see your settings for you network on you PC go to the bit where is lists the network cards. right click the card you want and select status and then details. this will show you a listing of all the settings, also you can do the same in a command windowby typing "ipconfig /all" no quotes.....

Hi!
My router is Scientific Atlanta EPC2607
link to manual: http://www.cisco.com/web/consumer/pdf/ug-dpc-2607.pdf

i word searched for upnp and found nothing and i found nothing usefull when fast reading through it either.

The only hardware changes i've made is exchanging routers and then changing the connection chart as stated in first post. Nor have i installed anything or changed any software on the computer during this period.

When using automatic internet/network setup on PS3 it gets internet connection butit states also that upnp is deactivated. So i made excact same network settings and then activated upnp and still no change.

Is it that this so called hightech router that is pricyier then the low end cable internet routers is just messing my system up?
if thats the case what shouldi do to get things to work? Buy another router that is upnp capable and use that instead of the switch? I'm at wits end =(

Thanks for all help and advice!
