PS3MS works with wireless ps3 but not wired

[aneki]

Bumping this, having the same problem but with a different trace. PS3 is wired, if PC is wired it works fine, if wireless, doesn't work.

Exactly same thing aneki: works ok if both and wired or wireless, but if one is wired and the other wireless it's a "no go".

My feeling is that it has something to do with my/our routers having bugs multicasting between wired and wireless interfaces....but it's just a guess!

Cheers,

ps: my router is a Netgear CVG834G

Cyprian, since it used to work for you, and you say you did not change any config or update any of the three parts; did you try to restart all three components? You probably don't have PC and PS3 running 24/7, but most people don't restart their routers. So this might be a good approach.

[digitallife]

Cyprian, so you had the Ps3 wired and PC wireless and it was working?
and recently it stopped working without you making any noticeable changes, correct?

Did you upgrade PS3 Media server?

[cyprian]

Nils: yes I have restart all three components. I'm not sure yet if there's a way to reset the router to restore all original configurations which perhaps could fix a possible bug or something. I will look into this. (the router is a Scientific Atlanta EPC2434)

digitallife: yes, that's correct and I have tried to upgrade the PS3 Media Server to the 1.20-version instead of 1.10 but that was after my problems had appeared. The upgrade did not affect the problem. Until the time when my problems had appeared I only used 1.10.

Quick question Cyprian.

Have you installed PeerBlock or PeerGuardian in your computer? I did, about a week ago, and when I did, I installed a "bogon" blocklist, which basically blocks all the mutli-cast local area network traffic. You will notice ip's like 224.0.0.2, or 224.0.0.225 or 127.0.0.1 (loop-back ip)being blocked.

As far as your router. There should be a hard reset button underneath or at the back of your router, just stick a pin in and hold it down until the network lights start flashing.....this is usual router reset path. You may also find a reset to factory button in the router menu GUI (probably under Administration, check for re-boot to factory). Bear in mind, that if you have a stack of port forwarding and/or inbound and outbound filters tweaked, you will lose them when you reset. You can probably go into the router menu and also do a system check. Usually under Administration.

I was having probs with my one GIgaset-SE567 modem\router supplied by my ISP and they kept telling me it was fine until I did a system check on it and it came back as a DNS failure over and over again. Got new one coming.

devildog93:

No installations of any software on my PC recently.

I did a reset on the router to the original configurations, but got no change, though the router acted a bit "buggy" during the start-up and I had to restart it several times to get the wireless function to work. Makes me think that something gone wrong with the router...

I can't seem to find a system check option in the router menues though there's an "advanced"-part of the menues where I need a special password different from my other password. I'll call my ISP (also supplier of the router) tomorrow about that.

Next week I'll also borrow another router and see if it works better.

I'll let you all know the results...

[devildog93]

Yeah, using ISP provided routers is a common problem people have. Usually the ISP will put their own crap firmware on the router, overriding what was probably fine.

I use Telus, Siemens GigasetSE567 modem/router and the firmware on it is different from the stock Siemens modem/router. May have nothing to do with your situation, just something to know. I found this out when looking up my gateway, and online instruction pictures were a different layout than my menus. The sample picture online was taken from same modem/router, but the person posting was on Frontier ISP, and they also put their own firmware on their GigasetSE567's.

Having another password to get into advanced settings is weird so I would definitely contact ISP about that.

Yeah, after re-reading your scenario, Peerblock or Peerguardian would block those ip's regardless if wired or wireless...so, sorry bout that

[cyprian]

Interesting results!

I tried a borrowed Netgear router and all combinations of wired or wireless communications between ps3-router and PC-router worked perfectly right away.

Seems very much like something has happened with my router. I'll try to get hold of that password for the advanced part of the configuration and compare the configurations of the two routers next... After that I'll try to get my ISP to give me a new router in someway.

[digitallife]

hi cyprian,
please let us know if you come up with a solution once you get the password from the ISP.

Thanks
