lol.. i think most of the ppl here got minimum 1 router or switch with 4 eth Ports... i have 2 firewalls with 4 eth ports,a wlan AP with 4 eth Ports

and if you wanna know exactly:
- you can use a normal switch for connecting
- a cross wired ethernet-cable without a router or switch (Pc<--cable-->PS3)
- wlan is maybe also working.. its better to use wired connection

thats APIPA.. your PC or the PS3 didnt get an Adress per DHCP so it used APIPA hoping the other device also used it..

Networking Basics:
give the PS3 manal this:
IP: 192.168.0.1
SUB: 255.255.255.0

and your PC:
IP: 192.168.0.2
SUB: 255.255.255.0

gateway and dns is not the point for that..

if you have set.. open dos box and ping 192.168.0.1 if it works you have build a little P2P-Ethernet with 2 members

Thanks but I've been trying to get the keys by using this method since yesterday. lol

I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. This is why I've been trying to tell that a router with multiple ethernet ports is the only way to obtain rootkey

thats the error we all got with fw 3.55 ...

it only works with 3.41 peek poke fw (not booting with a dongle/ a patched 3.41..)

I'm on 3.41 MFW.
Tried 3.41 custom fw with payload4

169.*.*.* is NOT a valid ip...

"When your computer is configured to get an IP address from a DHCP server, but is unable to find a DHCP server the APIPA service will assign itself a 169.x.x.x IP address, and checks for a DHCP server periodically."

Your pc3 isn´t talking to your pc, even though the cable is present, unless you set up a dhcp server on your pc or manually configure your pc and ps3 and hook them up directly.

Keep trying with the 169.* address, it wont change the fact that it will NEVER work...

Get a switch or router if you do not know how to manually configure the network on the pc/ps3

On startup, asbestos ldr wipes ps3 memory and that's why it blackscreens.
It then brings up ethernet port again and tries to get an IP by DHCP.
So you need to run at least a DHCP server on your PC if you have no router.. y u have no routor?

No router solution:
Try http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ installing this, then check the 'dhcp server' tab to see which it assigned to your ps3. you should see another dhcp request pop by when you launch asbestos ldr.. and then use that IP to connect with the exploit tool.

I think I'm going nuts.
It doesn't show anything AT ALL. Just server interface numbers are changing and I've tried all of them.

If you configure your PC as a router (share internet option on the ethernet interface) then a DHCP server is activated. That is if you are using Windows.

whaha this is funny @zizoux some basic sjit there :D you'll figure it out
