Warning PS3 3.55 Users with cfw

[smpolak]

There is an 3.56 update out now so that patches all cfw on the ps3 (maybe I didn't update it) but I bypassed the update and still works fine the psn and online games here what you have to do:

1. Go to network Settings
2. Choose custom setup
3. Choose wireless or wired
3. Ip set automatic
4. here DNS Setting that you have to put in
Primary DNS: 67.##.##.###
Secondary DNS: 67.###.##.###
5. And everything else automatic then go on psn hope it works

Attention all you running custom firmware and for whatever reason have decided, “I’m going to upgrade to OFW 3.56.” Well you should hold that thought and restore to OFW 3.55 first. There are reports circulating that “my PS3 no longer turns on” after updating to 3.56 from a custom firmware. In other words: your console may end up bricked. I would restore to OFW 3.55 and wipe everything off the HDD first (from the Recovery Menu).

don't use unsafe dns adresses! Don't buy anything on psn using them as they can use phishing/dns spoofing/dns poisoning...

If you use these dns servers you have to know this, if they want they can theoretically redirect any website you view on your PS3 to another, they can use this to get PSN login info/credit card info!

I did not know that sorry... .I do not use credit card on my ps3.... I just only play online some time to time
