Right ok, you must have disabled Internet connection on the PS3 (at what Sony call the XMB menu) I think when you got F1 scared off. That strange F1 glitch I hope isn't about to influence any of what I'm about to go on about. You may need to review your PS3 settings from the get go if this setting up throws up the same result.
I apologise if I'm about to teach you to suck eggs.
Turn on PS3. Don't press anything. You should be on a column (in the XMB menu) that is headed by a house with little face. Underneath is Turn Off System, Create New User, your chosen name for account.
Go back up to smiley face house, to the right there should be headings of Vanity case/Toolbox, camera, music note, film cutting etc etc symbols.
From house move right to case/toolbox. Scroll to bottom and you should see Network Settings.
At Internet Connection, for you it must say disabled? Enable it.
Now go to the back of your router. Write down the name of it (should start with your provider companies name usually).
Also write down the wireless password (jumble of letters and a number) from the back.
Back to PS3 and go one down to Internet Connection Settings. Press X and follow instruction. This bit is quite instructorial so shouldn't be too hard.
You can do it easy or custom. I did custom.
When it asks for SSID that is the name of the router from above.
When it asks for WPA-key that is the password for the router from above.
When it asks for security setting, I put as WPA-PSK/ WPA 2 or whatever it is.
Follow instruction/suggestion for other stuff and you can agree with most of it when it says automatic for those.
When it asks for UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) setting, set to enable.
It should do the test and all should be ok!!!!!! I would turn off PS3 and hard reset router, then do this next little bit. This is just extra.
Via your PC or tablet, in search bar type the default IP address of the router. This is again is on the back of the router along with default user name and default password.
The default IP should be 192.168.1.1 type that in search bar. Click on first suggestion. I'm taken to a Huawei page.
Type in the default username and password which should be admin/admin.
Probably in advanced settings it should have the ability to Enable UPnP.
This will help if you get into online racing, it should lower the chances of you affecting or being affected by other people's Internet.
Just make sure you've created a PSN account, which I think you must have.
PM me if you need a walk through while you do it.
Now turn PS3 back on, click on name, not sure if default of PS3 is to sign in (to network) automatically, if not go to header on far right to purple sphere with PS symbols wrapped around, you should be able to sign in and set sign in to auto from there I think.
If you succeed, the PS3 and GT6 will now go crazy for updates. Allow PS3 to do its thing.
Then start GT6.
Caveat: going from ver1.00 to ver1.15 may take some time. We are talking many hours depending on your internet I've heard.
I log in every day so I've updated as they come and the longest has been about twenty minutes.
Oh yeah, you'll be able to take advantage of the daily login bonus now. A daily incremental increase in % from 110% to 200% i.e up to double your winnings.
You will get all the VGT cars (although you will have to shell out a mil for each, they come in seasonals when released, free for completing just a lap) Senna content, Sierra Content, weekly seasonal updates for loads of cash (along with log in bonus) some more cars and tracks, custom wings, custom gauges, physics improvement and loads of other stuff some others will mention I'm sure.
Be warned though it may take some time!
It'll be almost like getting a new game.
Totally off topic guys, sorry, but I think 1st Gear is in dire need of an update. Even if it might take all day.
My best so far is the
- I tried the Mazda 787b Stealth Model but I was dissapointed with that one - may be the regular Mazda 787b is better.. may be I give it a buy - I have 2nd best time around Le Mans with my Peugeot 908 - but not too crazy about the view from the driver seat in that car.... Having fun though.... Thanks Cowboy!
