Is your network reachable? Yes
Are you using a router? Router/modem combo
Did you set a static IP on the PC running Kai? Yes
Did you forward port 30000 to the static IP? Yes
Did you click the globe after forwarding to see if your network goes reachable? Yes
What console are you using? PS3
Is your console being detected? No
Brief description of your network setup: PC and PS3 both wired to modem/router
Model numbers of the router, and modem? TP-Link WD8950ND
Do you use a software firewall? What brand? Have you made any changes to it? Yes, Windows Firewall, Allowed KaiEngine.exe
Operating System? Windows 8
Problem description? When i click the folder icon in Diagnostic mode, a red box shows up with 15 numbers in it (196476192366336) and no picture. I have tried switching off windows firewall, restarting and starting in different orders, and have had no results. It read my Vita by itself the first time I tried so i turned it off, which makes me think the problem lies with the PS3.

Is your PS3 normally wired? If you PS3 setup to use WiFi you will need to go to Network Settings on PS3 and change connection type to Ethernet. Also does your computer have more than one active network adapter? If so you should go to http://127.0.0.1:34522/config.htm and change your network adapter to your Ethernet one that going to the router.

One more question did you manually enter in IP address in to PS3? If so double check to make sure it correct, or use automatic. If you already using automatic could be problem with your PS3 getting assign IP address by router and not xlink in that case you will need to manually enter settings.

Yes, my PS3 is normally wired, to my knowledge I only have one network adapter for ethernet and one for wi-fi. That link you gave me gives me an error when i click on it.

I have changed my IP settings, and now it works! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
