I've used routers for years ,but hooking one up to a SONY Playstation 3 is driving me batty. Any help from someone who has gone through the process. I can't seem to get past the point where it asks for the SSID name ( which I think to be linksys.

You can try this link and it will help you in settings up your PS3 with your Linksys router.

Sony docking station speaker not working with iPod touch

We bought a Sony docking station for the iPod touch (4th generation) we got our son for his birthday. The speaker on the docking station works when playing the radio, but not the iPod touch. We returned the docking station for another, and we are having the same problem. Which is why I am pretty sure the problem is the iPod touch and not the docking station. The docking station actually will charge the iPod, just not project sound out of the speaker with the iPod. It will, however, project sound out of the speaker when using the radio.
Is there anything simple I could be missing in settings? I can't figure this out. TIA!
Nick's mom

Use the communities search box in the upper right and search for
sony.
The go to advanced search and limit search to the the iPod touch forum.
Recently there has been several users posted here with the same problem with a Sony dock. I do not recall if it was solved.

Play Station 3 and WRT54G Recent Problem

My Play Station 3 and WRT54G DID work fine (connecting to internet) and now it doesn't. Can't connect to the Internet with WRT54G now. Tried Chat Line but since Router is out of Warranty, they won't talk to me without $$$$. What do you do to solve this issue. It DID work. Have V3. Downloaded new software v4.21.1 but haven't installed it. Will this be of any help or will it get worse. I did hook up the Play Station 3 via a WIRED Linksys Router and it works fine so Play Station 3 is okay.

Before your Connect your PS3 to your wireless network, you need to check the wireless settings of your Router (SSID, Security key).
On your Computer, Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Once you login to the setup page of your Router, Click on the Wireless tab and check whats the Wireless Network Name, and then again you need to click on the sub tab "Wireless Security" and check the Security Mode and Security Key....
On your PS3, Search for your Wireless Network and attempt to connect to your wireless network....

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

It could be that there's a new source of interference.

Iphone 3 won't play on sony docking station

Great. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a question?

Play Station Network Network Issue

I need some help. Here is my issue. A few days ago I was not able to log into Play Staion (4 days and counting). This is both from the ps3 console and any pc in the house. The url that all logins go to is account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com. So from my pc if i go to the play station store or gran-turismo.com they have a login button which goes to the above url. I immediately get page not found on IE or the webage is not avaiale on chrome. When I try to log in with my PS3, I immediately get a message that I have been disconnected. I have PS3 on DMZ and have never had an issue. I can go to account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com from cell phone or use cell phone as hot spot for PS3 and that works. I called PSN and they said it is not their issue, I asked if it were possible that a range of IP addresses are being blocked, and they said no. I called Verizon and they said not their issue as when I run a trace I can see it leave verizon to level3 and then to prolexic where the trace ends. That is norrmal as I had a friend do a trace and using account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com and it ends at prolexic and then times out, Sony probably has it set up to not respond to traces. I called Prolexic and they are going to see if they are blocking access.
My question is what else can I do, I have used multiple pcs, browsers and the console itself. I tried google dns, rebooted pc, router, ps3 numerous times, renenwed ip address, checked router firmware, and nothing works. I think it is a routing or security issue on the internet. Could this be a Verizon issue or even my ip address being blocked by someone from getting to the credential page at Sony.Any help is appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

you likely just have a case of sony filtering certain ip blocks.
FWIW, these are not intentional blocks, what often happens is a new block of ip addresses is advertised, and if sony doesn't maintain or update their bogon filter list, then those don't get added to the allowed, and then you unintentionally get blocked. simply renewing ip will not fix, you have to have a different subnet
The next time it happens try this and see if it helps.
Step 1 Record your WAN IP address at a website like whatismyip.com
Step 2 release your IP address
Access the Verizon router GUI
Click on MY NETWORK icon at the top.
Select NETWORK CONNECTIONS from the menu on the left.
Select BROADBAND CONNECTION (coax or ethernet) depending on your connection to the ONT.
Click SETTINGS
Click RELEASE
Click APPLY
Disconnect the router immediately to prevent it from re-requesting a DHCP lease.
Step 3 **important** wait at least 5 - 10 minutes before connecting your router back up.
Step 4 Check to see if your subnet changed after reconnecting, visit whatismyip.com and verify.
report back to homebase after you try it

Can't Play DVD (with VLC, Totem, Xine, MPlayer), But Works in Windows

I have a DVD that I can't play for the life of me in Arch. I've tried VLC, Totem, Xine, and MPlayer. And I do have libdvdcss installed. Other DVDs work fine.
With VLC the DVD menu comes up, but when I hit play I get choppy sound and no picture. And I get these errors:
[0x7f91f4000c18] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
[0x7f91f4000c18] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

[0x15c0a08] libmpeg2 decoder error: invalid picture encountered
With Totem I get the DVD menu and when I hit play it just freezes.
With Gxine I just get a popup window that says "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" (but again I do have libdvdcss, libdvdread, and libdvdnav installed). In the terminal Gxine reports it's using libdvdcss to get the encryption keys and it appears to all go fine, but then I get the "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" popup window.
Mplayer plays the the DVD but the image is scrambled and the sound is a little choppy.
On the other hand, in Windows, on the same computer, the DVD plays fine with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d) and with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite Codec Pack.
I'm especially baffled that VLC does it in Windows, but not in Arch (nor in Debian).
Any thoughts? Thanks.

That's interesting. I didn't realize it was all css. But how does that explain in this case the DVD did work with free players in Windows. As I said, both with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite codec pack and with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d)? Thanks.
That is very possible. All those players use (or can use) direct show. As soon as you have the needed filter installed by SOME software all those players will be able to make use of it. And i think Vista even had dvd filters pre-installed.
Btw. One of the more common protections on dvds is called arcos and is developed by Sony. Google for it

Problem using docking station with ipod 5th generation

just bought an ipod touch, 5th generation, with the Lightening connector. Bought an Acoustic solutions docking station with the same small lightening connector but when I dock I can only charge the ipod and not play music through the docking station. Does anyone have same problems playing music with a 5th generation ipod that has the new small lightening connector?...I bumped into someone at Argos who said they are having the same problem not being able to play music from the new iphone 5 that has the lightening connector and even if you use a adaptor to make it 30 pin connector compatable it still doesnt work, any help will be appreciated, thanks

Does Acoustic Solutions say it will work with your model iPod and iOS 7.0.4?
Have you went to their support site?
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Sometimes an iOS updates breaks compatibility and yo will have to wait for iOS update or an update to the dock's firmware.

Some internet radio stations with http protocol and mp3 format not working in AIR 2.0

First, i am sorry for my bad english. When I publish swf for Flash 10 player all stations in my list works. If I publish them for AIR 2.0 stations with adress end ":XXXX", where XXXX is port number, they cannot work. What is problem? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps, in the previous post I wasn't clear enough, so I'll try to make it better: I am using the Adobe Flash CS5 and AS3. I wrote the script for listening internet radio stations. In the station list I named only those that use HTTP protocol and mp3 format, cause I know the limits of Flash in audio streamings. If I publish FLA file in SWF for Flash 10 player all the stations can be listened.. If swf file is made for AIR 2.0 there's a problem: the stations with adress http://xxx.xxx:xxx/<something> can be listened, and those without extension behind the port number (:xxx) can not. Main parts of the script are:
startButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, listen);
req.url= "<adress>";
snd = new Sound();
snd.load(req);
private function listen(event:MouseEvent):void {
req = snd.play();
Example:
adress=http://scfire-ntc-aa08.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1010 - working
adress=http://www.radionovosti.rs:443/radionovosti56s.mp3 - working
adress=http://sh1.beotel.net:8002 - not working
adress=http://77.105.36.58:8881 - not working
It would be great if someone of Adobe employers explain to me what is the problem. Thanks.

Can I use Rhaposody to play music with AirPort

Can I use Rhaposody to play music with AirPort?

To stream non-iTunes audio sources from your PC to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) you will need a third-party application, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil for Windows.

Does Time Capsule play well with older Airport devices?

Hello. Today I am likely coming home with a Time Capsule and intend to rebuild my home wireless network.
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on the value/worth of attempting to connect older airport devices to the new network? I have a VERY old (1st gen?) Express, a 2nd or 3rd Express, and an Airport Extreme which, here on my lunch break away from home, I'm frankly not sure which age it is. I have been using the Extreme as the Base Station and intend to wipe it and set up the TC as the Base Station.
There are a few areas of our house that don't get good signals currently. If they STILL don't, should I try to connect any of these older devices as extenders? Or will they not play well with the TC because of their different letters (g/n/etc.?)
Thanks in advance. We'd been planning on getting a TC for a long while but found out this week that our Extreme is somehow getting in the way of our network connection... So I'm hoping that a brand new set-up will improve our speed and entire system. We have a household of many devices--one iMac and more than four iOS devices (potentially depending on who's awake) running on a 60Mbp/4 upload system. For a long time we've had internet but at 23-26 Mbp tops.
Any of your thoughts or ideas would be welcome.

Old G wireless express should be retired.. it will not work well in the current network. Although people do use them just for audio use.. the later OS have ceased to be able to set them up. G extreme is of no use.
You can use anything that is N wireless.. but you need to be sane and rational about using a router that is 3-6years old.. as it might cause as much problems as it fixes. Certainly there is nothing wrong with having a go.. as long as you are not too hopeful.
The best way to get wireless in a dark corner is to run ethernet over to that area.. and run a wireless AP there. Your N apple airport can function as AP. Even using EOP (ethernet over power) can sometimes work.
If you try to extend wireless wireless to the dark zone.. you cannot place the AP in the dark zone.. as it will get no signal to extend.. it needs to be able to pick up good signal and still have sufficient range to reach the end of your zone. That suggests if it doesn't work now.. it won't work in this new role either.. but no skin off having a try.
