i got a bmw horsehair brush for the rims. i was going to buy the wheel kit at the stealer and the guy was like "hold on a second." he came back and was like "here just take this, we use this one when people bring their cars in." works pretty good and has lasted me awhile. also foams up the wheel cleaner solution well

Advanced Auto Parts' selection is fairly low end. Same with Autozone.

Peb Boys any better? Murray's?

Taking tomorrow off and may spend the day getting her perty.

John, take your wheels off and clean them. Best way by far IMO. Take them off, clean them really good, apply some wheel wax to them, put um back on. Takes time to do this but totally worth it, especially if you have time. I did this to mine and they clean up amazing. Much easier to clean after you have some wax/sealant on them.

Ben, how's the car? Any codes or issues?

Nebster · 04-16-2009, 06:55 PM

Hmm, AT&T UVerse is a service that is offered from AT&T. A port can either be ports on a switch or router or ports used for specific protocols such as HTTP or SMTP. Which are you referring to? Maybe a little more background or info on what you are trying to achieve would help.

CubanJJ09 · 04-16-2009, 09:46 PM

trying to open ports for my ps3. it gives me an error about a DNS server. so I figured opening up some ports would work?

Shouldn't need to open ports for DNS really. You should be pointing it to your router for DNS and the router should be going out to the web when it needs DNS. Didn't the PS3 automatically pull an IP address from the network (i.e. DHCP)?

CubanJJ09 · 04-16-2009, 10:02 PM

yea it works for about 20 mind or so then shits out on me

dude just call PS3... they gave me all the port numbers and then call whoever makes your router and they'll show you how to open them.

mine used to do the same thing... itd take me about an hour to get a connection and then it'd cut on me like 30 min later

CubanJJ09 · 04-16-2009, 10:07 PM

yea I know the numbers. but now my Interwebz is down. looks like there's mo ridding the world of it's flith via metal gear online.

335iPaul · 04-16-2009, 10:09 PM

Hmm, You can enable the UPnP feature on your router too. Not the safest thing in the world, but then the PS3 can configure the router for you. Guess I don't use my PS3 online at all so I don't run into this problem.

UdubBadger · 04-16-2009, 10:10 PM

call them... you don't need the interweb as long as you can connect your router to the computer directly. It will open the ports on your router for you.
what do you have a linksys?

CubanJJ09 · 04-16-2009, 10:19 PM

no it's a crazy jive ass 3 in 1 router modem tv box. I can't connect right now cause the Internet is down period. can't get on the web even from the computer. searched it on my phone and I think I found how to gain access to the ports. but I'll have to wait till noon tomorrow when the tech gets here
