GUIDE: PUT YOUR PS3 IN A DMZ

I have a Gigaset (Telus) siemens SE567

umm i dunno the password and i need help ASAP , like hopefuly tonight (not possible) but still

 

Well, i need help .. .i have a telus , siemens gigaset SE567 and i dont know the password

 

Why do you set the MTU to 1500? I used your guide and it worked great. But, I noticed that when I set the MTU to 1500 and ran the test connection it gave me a slower speed then when set to automatic. Is the slower speed better for the game play? Second, If I put ps3 in dmz do still need to do the port forwarding for MW2? Thanks in advance........Todd

 

Hello
I myself use my PS3 to play online games as do many. Now Over the years i have had my fair share of internet connection issues. So when I came across your guide it almost made me cry out of happiness. So I followed the guide step by step and ..fail (FOR ME.
It seems that even though my PS3 now has an static ip and has been put in a DMZ because i've changed my router settings. My NAT type2 still gives me a hell off a ride in online games.

I've also read about

my question regarding that would be do i change these DNS server settings on my PS3, router, or pc ( i guess router or pc is the same, if it's not please say so. I'm not only trying to solve the problem but also really understand why any change would work)

AND also confirm if 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 is exactly that what I should be entering

 

I've been able to connect to the internet using my ps3 and when i run a broadband test everything comesback fairly good but I cannot play any games online, it takes forever to load, or even to log in for that matter. I went through and followed the DMZ instructions and now it won't connect to the internet at all. I'm using a linksys WRT120N model router. I turned off my router and all things connected to it after and still nothing. When I run the connection test on the ps3 it fails on the obtail IP address portion and gives me "a connection error had occurred.(8013013d)" message..Help please.....oh yea I'm using WPA-PK.....dunno if it makes a difference....thanks

New update: I'm getting a new error message, i haven't changed anything but it says "the key information exchange has timed out. Your WPA key may be incorrect." but I've double and triple checked the key and it is correct...

 

After i did this and i tried logging in it said there was a connection error,is that bad did it have anything to do with this? If so how do i fix it?

 

when i go on my computer to type in my username and password admin and admin do not work and i checked at the bottom of the router and i says that they are the username and password and i tryed reseting it but it still didnt work.....what should I do?

 

HI so i followed this guide and when i test the connection the 'Obtaining ip' succeded but the internet connection didn't and i get a dns error.

i use a D-link DIR 615 router sooo plz help me!!!

 

Have set this all up, connection test was fine on ps3, last part with the DMZ on router page, i have filled in the source IP but it also wants a Destination IP or MAC address, what goes in this part? it has filled in 192.168.1. and expects u to do the final part

this is the help for the page:
DMZ
Source IP Address:
If you want to allow any Internet IP address to access the exposed computer, select Any IP Address. If you want to allow a specific IP address or range of IP addresses to access the exposed computer, select the second option and enter the IP address or range of IP addresses in the fields provided.

Destination
Enter the IP address or MAC address of the computer you want to expose.

I did all that I was told to do in the guide but when i tried to connect it still didn't work. I went to internet connection test and it said my NAT type had failed. It also said the server connection timed out (80130203) I need help badly can someone help?

 

I did the following in the procedure. I then kept getting NAT type failed and an error code 801107ff or something like that. I put in 4222 and 4223 as my dns primary and secondary. I then got NAt type 2. The test said i was restricted in game communication etc- And something with IP fragments. I then tried to play my Call of duty game. I still had a problem. My game kept saying it was getting match quality and never found a game for like 40 minutes. I did this because It said it would fix problems like this. It doesn't seem to. PLease help. My ps3 has been a bit fragile. sometimes connecting NAT 2 other times failing other times error. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

 

I got the same thing. It would start up and when I was going to internet connection settings an error code would pop up. WHen I did th connection test the test would go fast until NAT type then it loads for a long time before saying NAT Type Failed. I don't know how to solve this, but I did put in DNS codes when redoing the settings. Go to custom when setting it up and when you get to dns codes select manual and make it look like this

Primary: 4.2.2.2
Secondary: 4.2.2.3

Then do the rest and test the connection. It should say NAT type 2 with a bar at the bottom saying the connection is bad etc. Other than this I don't know what to do either

 

ok, the reason i tried doing this is because i am constantly getting disconnected from the ea servers (FIFA 11 online) i can play a head to head match up till the 80th minute or so and 9 times out of 10 it quits, then comes up a message saying you have lost connection to the EA servers etc etc. I've emailed EA about it, they've tried helping me but nothings worked. I tried this DMZ thing, with the IP address etc but i've just tried playing a game now, and does same thing. 80th minute, winning 3-1 in head to head online match, get disconnected, i lose the match. It's really starting to p!$$ me off. I used to get the you have been signed out of playstation network, every 20 mins or so aswel, but that seems to be ok now. Can anybody please help with this EA thing. I'm really getting peeved off with it. Also when i do connection test everything is fine apart from UpNp: Not available. Its ticked in my Router settings, and used to say available before i tried this DMZ thing so i don't understand that either? Thank you

 

So I've got a few things:
For starters I got a mac airport and laptop, I don't know how to get the IP addresses. I can do the ps3 stuff but when i got to the step where i need to go to my browser and type in my supposed ip it just says it isn't a web page, i cant configure that stuff into a DMZ

Any ideas on how to find my IPs?

 

Great guide, but I am still stuck in NAT 3. I have set my PS3 to a static IP, and reserved it on my DHCP. I then put that IP into the DMZ. I have UPnP enabled, and everything set up according to the guide. When I go to test my connection on the PS3 though, it still says NAT 3. Is there any other little trick I can do to get a good connection?

 

I'm pretty sure your only problem is that you have to have a wired (Ethernet) connection to change your router settings. So just plug your laptop into the router for the moment, then try entering the router's IP address in as the URL again.

I don't know what kind of router you have, and it's going to ask for a password — these are preset, so Google what your user name/pass are for your specific brand of router (e.g., Linksys is usually left blank for user name, "admin" for password).

Oh, and in general, on a Mac, everything you need to know about your Internet connection is available under System Preferences > Network.

 

Now, then, since I've (hopefully) solved someone else's issue and (hopefully) therefore earned myself some karma, was wondering if anyone could help with my problem:

I've followed this guide to a T, except for one element: where it says to enter "same as Default Router IP" into the PS3 as Primary and Secondary DNS Addresses. This didn't work for me; the PS3 would say I had a DNS error.

So instead, I ran automatic setup on the PS3 and wrote down the numbers it'd come up with for DNS addresses, then went back and configured everything manually, assigning the PS3 a static IP and filling in those DNS numbers. Everything seemed to work fine — for a while.

A couple other notes: I put the PS3 in a DMZ using the static IP I'd assigned it. UPnP disabled on both router and PS3. Media servers disabled on the PS3. On the router, I even limited network access to three MAC addresses: those of my laptop, the PS3 and my smartphone. My SSID is not being broadcast.

Things have gotten better, but I'm still having the problem I had originally (and which led me to this awesome forum). Which is that, when using Netflix on my PS3, the movie/show I'm watching will freeze, and then my entire wireless connection drops — for everything — PS3, laptop, phone.

Any other ideas here? My router is a Linksys WCG200, the model where the modem and router are integrated into one unit.

One other strange thing: Everything ran fine a couple weeks ago, no problems at all — and this was before I'd learned anything about DMZ or static IPs. I was just going by the PS3's automatic configuration. I didn't even have password protection on my network, at the time. But then I moved the TV and PS3 to the other side of the room, taking the power strip with them. So my router is still on the other side of the room, plugged directly into the wall. That's the only difference between when it was working and now, when it's having these issues.

 

Update:

Tried adjusting settings slightly: I assigned a static IP outside of what the router webpage says is the range of addresses (it says it starts at 192.168.0.10 and goes through 192.168.0.254, so I assigned the PS3 the address of 192.168.0.3) and changed the DNS address to the following values:

Primary: 4.2.2.2
Secondary: 4.2.2.3

Everything seems hunky-dory so far: No dropouts, everything running great (PS3 apps, laptop, smartphone). I think statically assigning the PS3 an address outside the range prescribed by the router settings page might be the key. Not really sure why those DNS values work (or what they are, even; are those Verizon public addresses?), but FWIW ...

 

Linksys WRT54G
PS3

I set up my PS3 to have a static IP and I've put the PS3's IP address into DMZ on the router. I can access the internet and play Black Ops with it. I have turned off uPNP on PS3 and router.

It is reading as NAT 2 through the PS3 and Moderate NAT through Black Ops.

I had it set up and it was reading as an Open NAT, then I had to reset my router to its factory settings and since then I cannot get it to go back to having an open NAT on Black Ops.

Any suggestions?
