[ydl-gen] wi-fi connection (angelo_da_re)

Sat Feb 14 23:40:57 MST 2009

I've got a ps3 40 giga, which I expanded to 250 giga.
I didn't use static address, it's just that, after it retrieves the first IP 
address, it tries to connect again to that address.
In the configuration, it's specified: obtain DNS info directly from the 
provider.
Anyway, after a few attempts, it resulted that it does change address.
It connects to the same address of the ps3 os.
But now it gets very slow surfing the net.
I use Mozilla Firefox, and, after loading half of the page, it says "waiting 
for:" or "transferring data from:" and it hangs.
That's the tru issue now.
Thank you very much for your precious help.
See you soon.
