Red Mac Address

Kai Beginner Joined: 10 May 2011 Posts: 1

Hello, I've spent the last few hours figuring out how to get this working and I think I'm almost there. The only problem that I think I have Is my mac address is in a red/pink box.

Above the Mac address it says that the PS2/PS3 is configured correctly. I've opened port 30000 and removed any type of anti virus and disabled my firewall.

It also says my network is reachable.

I also think my setup is correct, my PC is connected to my router wirelessly and my PS3 is connected to my PC with an ethernet cable which is correct yes?

So has anyone got an idea what could be wrong? Thanks in advanced.

A red MAC address simply means that XLink Kai and your PS3 are not communicating with each other.

With XLink Kai running, on your PS3 go to Settings > Network Settings > Settings and Connection Status List.

Let me know what shows for the following:

IP Address: Should be 10.253.x.x (what numbers show where I have the x's?)
Subnet Mask: Should be 255.255.0.0
Default Router: Should be 0.0.0.0
Primary DNS: Should be 192.168.0.1

Also, what version of Windows are you running and what version of XLink Kai?
