For example, if it’s connected via ethernet then the port will need to have an appropriate IP setup. Your Mac will need to use a static IP address configured for the active interface. I left out one critical piece of information, most likely because it’s how my gear has been configured for a long time. I’m not planning to add a complete guide or screenshots but I am including a few notes that may be critical in setting this up. Updated : I had a request via comment to include more information about the setup of SquidMan. Please feel free to leave a comment to let me know if it does work for you. It’s worth noting that this seems to have been the solution to my problem, but each network configuration is different so you may or may not benefit from these changes.
SQUIDMAN GET IP PS3
Perhaps the PS3 detects UPnP as working in situations where it really isn’t and thus the connection is slower than expected?Īgain, I don’t know which option (or if was a combination of the two) made the difference but downloads have been significantly faster. The second change I made, when setting up the PS3 again after installing a working hard drive, was to turn off the option to enable UPnP (only in the PS3 network settings, not in my router). When I configured the proxy server I set it up to only accept connections from a local IP address assigned to the PS3. I did have only the proxy setup at first and it didn’t seem faster but that wasn’t for very long so I can’t state that it didn’t help – perhaps it took a little while for the PS3 connection to really get moving through the proxy.
SQUIDMAN GET IP INSTALL
Since I use a Mac I downloaded SquidMan (a Squid GUI), which will also download and install Squid itself (the proxy server software). The first change I made was to implement one of the standard suggestions found in forums, which is to setup a local proxy server and have the PS3 connect through it. Unfortunately, I implemented them without properly testing them individually so I don’t know if only one change or both is what made the difference. I’ve made two changes recently that appear to have improved download speeds. None of that seemed to make a difference. I also tried turning off the option to search for media servers. I’ve tried setting a local IP and using DNS servers other than my ISP’s. Like many PS3 users, I’ve been frustrated by horribly slow PS3 downloads since I purchased the console (firmware and game updates included).
