DMZ - any risk?
by djw180- 1 follower

- 3.8k views
As some of you may know I have had really bad connection issues in the past. I contacted RS support and got some quite helpful advice. Based on that (opening up some more ports on my router) the situation has greatly improved but is still not perfect. So their latest advice is "set your console to a static IP address, and assign this address to the DMZ". The reason I would like to know more about this is previously they had said assigning to DMZ was "not recommended" and just to open up a whole host of different ports on my router instead. So are they are risks associated with assigning my console's IP address to the DMZ? All I use my console for is games (just G…

So lets get into it, Region Free & Region Locked. Now when purchasing a physical copy of a PS4 Game of course the game will work on any PS4 console because their both region free, but when purchasing a DLC Season Pass, Map Pack, Codes or Expansion they are Region Locked. The problem poignantly rest upon the country that the PSN Account was set to during the creation of that PSN Account and the region of the physical copy of a PS4 Game. These two must match in order for you to be able to install those DLC'S downloaded or you will be greeted with the waiting to install message when you check your 'notifications> downloads.' A some what normal occurrence for those of …

Oculus Rift

Thoughts on the leader in the virtual reality realm? I've read things and seen clips of video of Oculus, seems pretty ground breaking if it works like intended. At some point someone will put VR market if this attempt fails, and I do think by Playstation 6 we will no longer be using the console, controller, tv setup we all know, I think most games will be VR. By then I should be to old to combat roll across my living room to avoid being virtually shot.

Ok during the last PL Dodge said be sure to video your best lap. I'm sure there are many more things that need to be learnt for the new people to PS4, eg party chat. Please feel free to explain how to use these features and any others that are unique to PS4. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated by myself and I'm sure some others that may not know yet how to use all the new stuff.

OMG. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. It had a system update a few days ago and now all I'm getting is this error: "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped." This has been going on all day. I've Googled the error/issue and can't seem to find a solution to solve this. I have unlinked my Google account and tried to re-sync it, but it's telling me that there was an error communicating with the Google servers. My daughter's tablet (same tablet) isn't receiving these errors. My phone (Android as well...) is having zero issues. Is anyone else getting these issues? I've reported …

So I'm getting a new phone and I was asking my friends for advice. Almost all of them said that getting the iPhone 6 is the best choice. So, I need a little more advice to really know what's the best phone. Right now, I have the iPhone 5, which I absolutely hate. I'm leaning towards Android, more specifically the Galaxy S6. So yeah, if you have any advice on what phone I should get it would be much appreciated

Wii U bombing out

I have read this in multiple places, seems the Wii U isn't taking off the way Nintendo had hoped. http://metro.co.uk/2014/04/23/wii-u-sales-tracking-50-less-than-gamecube-one-tenth-of-wii-4706243/ We had thought of getting they kids a Wii U but went with getting them PS3's a while back. Nintendo has more kid friendly game track record than Sony but I think it was a good decision as I expect developer support for the U to drop, or at least that is what a few articles say

So,I've had this issue for quite some time with the PS4 where it ejects the CD on its own randomly and then I can't put it back in.Got the console sometime in October-November '14 and its happened only 8-10 times till now. Took the console to Sony in March earlier this year and the engineer said that the screw below the eject button was loose.He tightened it and gave it back to me in 10 minutes.I thought that fixed it completely,but a month later it happened again and naturally I went to Sony's Service Center again. This time they asked me to deposit the console and if they find it happening they would replace it with a new one.Now,the key thing is that the CD did…

A week gone after the big surprise from the wife, and starting to thing that something fishy with sony. New generation console and you cant even stream you own music or movies files?

Hopefuly they will follow m$ and put the media player back on. Rant over

For those of you present last night, you know Torrid & I couldn't stay connected to the crew lobby or the playlist for more than five seconds without getting kicked. We haven't changed any settings on our Playstations for the past week. Everything worked fine, with both consoles running, until last night. We could play GTA Online just fine as long as we stayed away from the crew lobby and the playlist. So I highly doubt our connection issues have anything to do with the settings on our Playstations. I don't know where to go to check the recommendations that DC has given because I don't mess with that stuff. Nor do I really want to mess with it, again, considerin…

PS3 Performance

Since buying my PS3 and GTA V this time last year I've noticed the performance diminish. The frame rate often noticeably drops, obstacles, and sometimes buildings, have been appearing when I'm on top of them. Initially the frame rate appeared to only drop when there were lots of other players nearby and we all had a high wanted level with police choppers etc. Now it's happening all the time. Yesterday in the H2H a track had a slalom made out of tyres which didn't spawn until I entered the slalom. This happened on both laps. Is this happening to everyone else on PS3? I'm aware GTA V pushes last gen consoles to the absolute limit so suspect performance has gradually dim…

Really .. really surprised no one has brought up anything from the gaming conference. Outside of repetitive Mario work (which I can't stand) there were a couple things that really caught my eye. One of which is Persona. Always been a fan of these and I grew up on JRPGs (not sure how many others of you are here that like this genre). Out of everything though, this got a serious fist bump from me when I saw it: They said it'd never happen. It may be a cash grab, which is fine, because honestly, this title deserves a serious remake. It deserves to be brought into the HD era. This was a game I did grow up on and really brought to the Western market a di…

194Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Let The Sunshine In (2017) dir Claire Denis Juliette Binoche plays Parisian artist Isabelle, looking for her ideal man after a divorce. That makes it sound like a romantic comedy, but it isn't. There's no real romance and although not to be taken too seriously it's not exactly full of jokes either. Isabelle basically tries out various lovers who all fail to live up to expectation on some level; such as the wealthy married man who only calls when it suits him or the younger man who decides he just wants to be friends. Interwoven between these scenes we learn a bit more about who Isabelle is, what she does for a job, meet a few of her friends etc. Binoche is very good, as always, most of the rest of the cast are OK. I did start to get a little bored after about halfway through. There was very little chemistry between the actors, which I guess was deliberate since she was never finding the right man. But right at the end it did step up. The very final scene is great. Isabelle goes to see a psychic, played by Gerard Depadieu. There follows a dialogue as they discuss her various lovers, with him kind of reviewing them. It's almost like she was seeing a therapist, until he brought out a “magic” pendulum type of thing and started making predictions of which ones might turn out to be the right man for her. The film actually ends at this scene plays out with the credits beginning whilst their conversation continues. I'm not sure if the intention of this was to make you watch the credits or maybe it was saying “you can stop watching now, there's nothing important left to see”. But whatever, it was an original bit of film making for me. 6 / 10- 2
