Great Find this DNS method!
let me explain my experience that it's been stuck with me since GT5 and now occasionally GT6
I have a Virtual ISP which means my internet source is from a local dealer who has control over almost everything, asking him if i can port forward certain ports using my router and he said yes it is doable. i did the port forwarding thing on my lynksis (WRT160Nv2) and some of my issues online were solved, but i'm still stuck with this thing that i'll try to explain in few sentences.
to my knowledge when you are logging into a GT5/6 room online the network starts to scan/connect each available player online with you one by one(in order to display his speed/location etc...), what happens in my case is that some of the participants clash network with me for some reason, and the line of them remaining in a loading state remains displaying and i cannot see those participants cars or even hearing their radio.
In my GT5 days if i log into a room with more than 2 people having network conflict with them the game server would kick me out once it has done loading the entire participants list while in GT6 it keeps me logged in even if i only can see the host alone.
In the situation where i do have conflicts with the room owner (host) i'm unable to go into that room in the first place and it would display one of those weird error generated numbers, i still remember the number 787 or 678 in GT5 while in GT6 its the likes of ( 80028EDxx or something similar to that).
when this happens, trying the obvious never works. example resetting the router or even deleting cash from option menu or going out of the room and getting back in it.
now that i have tried the port forwarding thing and it didn't solve it would you reckon the DNS method would work?
Note that i have put the PS3 on a static IP suggested by the site i followed its tutorial for port forwarding method (picture below) and im using the primary and secondary DNS (2.2.2.10 & 4.5.6.7 respectively) as generated when i do ip config - all in windows cmd or using network information in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.(snapshot below)
Anyone with a suggestion or a method to fully cure this would be highly appreciated. My last resort would be to change the internet source altogether
