My 8TRAC won't work! |
Whoah! Man, Slowly step into this millenium, shave the sideburns, then get a cassette player. After you've learned that, get a CD player ( the shiny discs you've been hanging from the rearview mirror, they are not radar deflectors or air freshioners.) Then you might be ready for the Nintedo 64. Next, this is going to be a big leap, get a color T.V. |

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue online help
|
Getting online can be a bit of a bear. Especially when purchasing the new PS3 hardware and attempting to run the update. If connecting with ethernet make sure that you turn off the Upnp. THis will make it much easier when attempting to connect to the game server. Prologue takes a lot of resources so don't go online through a connection that has reduced bandwidth due to another household member surfing online on the PC at the same time. Try to give the ps3 a dedicated IP and open as many ports as possible. When using wireless make sure your wireless router is password protected. If neighbors are riding your WiFi Band width this will reduce your resources and cause issue. This game is different then COD4 etc... online in that it is very picky and needs an almost exclusive use of your online connection bandwidth.
