Here's a simple way to setup your PS3 to bypass the firmware check using a Windows machine as a dns server, its basically the same thing as what Wii users did to use the wii shop as a browser:

5) Now that you have your new server added, you need to add A Name entries so the ps3 gets redirected on the firmware requests, to do this simply right click and choose New Host Address (A-Record)

6) we need to add two A-Name entries, depending on what region you are in. You can add as many as you'd like if you want to cover your bases though

For the US, we need fus01.ps3.update.playstation.net and dus01.ps3.update.playstation.net and for the UK we need fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net and duk01.ps3.update.playstation.net

So, In the host address window, enter fus01.ps3.update.playstation.net (or fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net for UK) for Record name, and 67.15.88.46 for IP Address, set the Time To Live to 999 days. Repeat this for dus01.ps3.update.playstation.net

7) your end result should be a setup similiar to this, once done simply close the records window in SimpleDNS so that it is back at the activity window

On your playstation 3, go into internet settings and enter manual setup and set your PS3's DNS server entry for the IP of the pc on your lan which is running SimpleDNS, then away you go!

i know right lol now we should be able to use different dns servers around the world!

im pretty sure Logan5's software uses there own dns server as it was patched before and now its not just because they changed to a different dns server which it probaly is 67.202.81.137 now besides this tutorial gives you more stealth from sony creating your own dns and not telling any1 what your dns server is Helps ALOT!

Bypassing without PC lol or proxy (For the people that have problems with Logan5's software)
