Trades per account

[teejiddy]

Strange its telling me I've used my gifts for all accounts, I've only sent one gift on main

You can only send one from PS3 per day now. So if you have 15 accounts you can only send from 1 of them.

I don't know if that is entirely correct because I tried to send a car from another PS3 in the house and it still said that I had reached my limit. Two different accounts, 2 different PS3's yet only let me send one car.

I think they're now reading your IP address. So, two machines behind the same router is still the same IP address.

Modify your router settings so you no longer have static ips's. If that is the case.

Isn't there a disadvantage to attempting this?

Good post, I never thought of that.

Nope, i just sent a pedcarolo gv5 judd from my account on my ps3, too my brothers account on his ps3, then back to mine again within 5 minutes, 2 ps3s, 2 trades, both wirelessly connected to the same router.

How?

 

[BPskeet69]

How?

Same way as before. Sent the car from 1 ps3 to the other, 5 minutes later, sent it back from the second ps3. I dont know why its not letting that one guy but it worked for me.

Interesting, I'm going to try it again tonight when I get home from work being a fresh day and all. Question, was both PS3's on at the same time? ie with 2 copies of the game, both logged in at the same time. I only have one copy of the game so I would have to send the car, quit the game load it up on the other ps3, accept the car, send it back, and that's where it dies and says I have reached my limit.

Two ps3s, only one copy of gt5, and only one on at a time. Sent the car, ejected the disc, turned off the ps3, went downstairs, turned on the second ps3, loaded up gt5, accepted the car, sent it back.

Cheers, exactly what I was doing but wasn't working. I'll give it another shot tonight.

How do you set a router to be DMZ?

 

[suprtrukr425]

If I'm not mistaken each device running on a router should have its own IP address. I'm not completely sure, but that's how I understood it. So if you have 2 PS3's on the same router, they should have different IP addresses. Am I wrong?

Your not wrong in what you are saying but you're thinking of it in a different context. Each device on a router will have it's own IP address but this is for the Local Area Network. You also have an IP address for your internet connection which is separate from your local network. This is the IP address that you broadcast to the world. So it doesn't matter which machine you are using, PSN will only see one IP address coming from your internet connection. You can see yours here.

I'm sure someone else could explain that better.

It was my understanding that this IP address is given to you by your ISP when you sync up, if you can change this IP address I would like to know.

try to type your Ip address in the the web bar....i.e where you type www.****.com. mine is 192.168.2.1 this brings me to my router, here i log in & can change my DMZ. i set my ps3 to 192.168.2.100 i can also change my local IP from where the data is recieved and sent..... i DMZ my ps3 to get a better connection when gaming & i can change it any time i want...

You can set up a DMZ by logging into your router.

Millions of people have this 'Internal IP address' or as stated above local area IP. This is not the same as what PD/SCE see as your IP address, your 'External IP address'. 192.168.2.1 is your gateway ie: where all your connected devices with IP such as 192.168.2.100 get filtered through which then leads to transmission of your External IP address and that is totally different to the ones above.

How? I can change my IP address as well, but this seems to have absolutely no effect. I figured the restriction was bound to the mac address, or the serial number. How exactly do you manage to still send from multiple accounts on the same PS3?

 

[alex997tt]

I'm not all all convinced that the restriction is IP based. I thought it was MAC address based (the hardware address, not allocated by your local router). PD cannot see your local IP address, only the external address of your firewall/router - unless your PS3 specifically ships that information. But that would be pretty useless info if you are running DHCP which by default most routers do.

So MAC address or PS3 serial number info shipped to PD servers would be the most likely way of restricting gifting per Playstation.

 

[alex997tt]

How exactly do you manage to still send from multiple accounts on the same PS3?

You CAN'T - unless PD have temporarily lifted that restriction too or the Playstation did not upgrade to 1.07 or the gifts were sent before upgrading.

 

[ScotchToberFest]

I tested it again tonight. 2 different accounts on 2 different PS3's and it worked (don't know why it wouldn't let me yesterday). Tried to send from another account on one of the ps3 and it wouldn't let me.

It must be then a MAC restriction and NOT an IP restriction, which means that any car sent on the same PS3 would automatically fail, while different PS3s should work.
