hehe Not any photos of the girlies, And It's got a Blade 919/924(?) in it Stu, I've always got my eyes open for a Busa though. As it does need spraying again since I spilt a little brake fluid down the passenger side frown So waiting for a Busa engine to pop up cheap enough, Then get it sprayed again. smile
This is the only pic I've got on the work PC and I'm sure everyone has seen it a million times, So for that I'm sorry.

Only difference to the above picture is that the Air box has been re-positioned and now sticks out of the top of the bonnet.

Looks great Devil! Had a go in a westfield with a busa engine in it once - Mental quick!. If i had the space/time/money/garage for a toy car it'd defenitely be a 7-style!.

Looks like its 3weeks of double XP now according to Elite, Guess i will be prestiging a few more times after all!.

Right chaps, I need some help and advice. I have bt infinity with a home hub 3. The ps3 works fine via wifi with a download speed of about 14/16mbs. My iPhone when I runs a speed check runs at about 27/33mbs. So I decided to run the ps3 on a wired connection to get better speed for iplayer etc. However, as the house is 1960's the telephone point is in the hallway, with no easy means of getting an Ethernet cable to the lounge.
So I bought a few d-Link powernet adaptors which transmit the Internet round the house in the mains cables.
Now my problem is this, when I set it up the PS3 was showing 26mbs when the connection test was run. Happy days. However, I can be using the ps3 to watch stuff or be on cod and suddenly the connection goes st. When I run the speed test I'm showing 600bps download which is crap. If I turn off the home hub then the connection returns to the full speed. Only to drop out again. I can run a speed test on my phone when this happens and the speed here is still as quick as ever, so its not the hub going slow.

So, any ideas what's going on?? I can go back to wifi but as we all know, quicker is better!
If you do have any suggestions please word them as though your talking a three year old through how to fix the problem hehe

Jack, The ethernet over power things are rubbish - don't bother with them. Just spend an hour running a proper cable through some walls and whatnot. Also, Don't forget your homehub doesn't have to be next to your modem - Our modem is in the utility room at the back of the house but our router is in the living room. Put the router wherever will be best for your wireless signal!.

How does that work then? The hub is hard wired to a white box underneath it which is the modem?? The powernets work brilliant when the system is rebooted. It just seems as though the ps3 is doing something which then caused the signal to go to ste. I'll take a pic of the hub when I get home to show you what I've got to deal with.
Edit to add: I did buy a long Ethernet cable to see how fast the PS3 could run, and it on a couple of occasions went really slow when hard wired to the hub. So wtf is going on??
PS Dev, cheers for the sympathy

Get new power adaptors?

I run my ps3 through some old gen1 netgear ones without problems. As you say, much better than Wifi.

The box underneath is the modem and it's just a standard ethernet cable that connects the two, So easily replaced with a longer one!. If your PS3 bugged out connected over a standard cable without the plugs then it probably is the ps3 that's the issue, Have you tried connecting it to a different port on the router?.

Yep I've tried all 4 ports on the back of the hub.
Had a browse online and seen some tips such as rebuilding the ps3 database, and turning something media related off. Will give there a go as when it's working at full chat it is great.

In terms of Infinity, IIRC only 1 port supports it (cant remember if it’s #1 of the Ethernets or not – will be called up as giganet I think).

I’ve had similar issues with fibre optics; seemingly running perfectly (75mb down, 9mb up) but the PS3 running at 1mb down, 300kb up at some points. I don’t do any portforwarding or DMZ’ing as it seems to make little difference. For MW3 I found lowering the MTU value helped a little (from 1500 to 1496). But now it wont perform a speed test in the PS3 as it kicks up error messages about routers not handling packet fragments etc.

Anyway, the above probably doesn’t help at all, so I’d suggest alcohol & jaffa cakes…

First gen ones, the 85Mb ones were ok, but 200Mb and later ones are very good. They induce a few milliseconds of latency, but better than wifi. If you have houses close to you, the channels used by your wifi probably are overlapping with your neighbours, along with cordless phones, microwaves etc... Unless you use 802.11a, which is on a 5Ghz frequency, and no cheap modem or router will use, only commercial wifi kit really uses, but the PS3 doesn't have a 11a wifi hardware.
* hint, if your laptop supports 802.11a, and you connect to an access point that has a 11a radio, hardly anyone will use it, so you don't compete with everyone else's laptops and smartphones trying to talk to the access point!

Running ethernet is best, you are right, but if you can't because of walls, buildings, whatever, Homeplugs do work, and work well. You can always borrow a pair to try, or just buy them from Comet or whatever. If they don't work in your house, take them back!!!

Big companies pay me lots of money to design global data networks for them, and I have to admit, Homeplugs are good.

You mean Newcastle Under Lyme lol.

I actually went Newcastle on Wednesday night cause it was student night but it was st.

Ikon is ok and there's a decent revoulution. All the bars/clubs are situated in 2 1/2 strips basically. There's also a strip club their called lace if you wanna see titties.

If you find castle to be st you could jump in a taxi and go to Hanley which is 5 mins away but hanleys better on a Saturday!
