GUIDE: PUT YOUR PS3 IN A DMZ

I assume that you have already set your PS3 up with a Static IP as shown in the DMZ set up. The Nat Type 2 link shows how to group the Ports that need to be forwarded. The belkin link shows how to do it on your Router. I understand your pain. I went through it as well. Like most tech things, it is hard to do the first time. You have the Nat Type 2 connection which is great. You just need to get into your router and set it up now.

 

Dude, your a legend, ive been banging my head against this wall eversince Fifa 09, i think ive cracked it. Ive managed to play my first online game on fifa and won 2-1. Thank you..... Happy New Year all.

 

Thanks.

What did you wind up having to do? just the Port Forwards?

Good to hear that you got it working.

 

Hey guys, Happy new Year...

I was following this guide for FIFA 10. It worked, but i have an issue and this is randomly signing me out?

I will say that before i put the ps3 into dmz, I forwarded the ports as per the book and as per the site portforward.com

Don't know if this affects this. Its happened more than once on fifa. my signal strength is 100%, but its randomly signing me out of the PSN.

Help, Thanks.

 

Any Help here people?

 

is nat type two the same as dmz or am i totally wrong? i dont have a dmz option in my router page and also my primary and secondary dns are different to my default gateway??my ip address is 192.168.1.254 it is a netopia router model 3347NWG. thank u in advance!

 

two different things. If using WIFI, you have to set it up proper to get a NAT Type 2. If you are getting a Nat Type 3, life will suck for you online.

 

good thing is i nat type 2 is showing up when i run a system check on the ps3 after choosing a static ip adress etc. i just cant play my friends on fifa! if there from another country no prob! but a friend ten miles away and it wont work!

 

I've followed all the steps so far, including the alternate DNS numbers. When I get to the test connection page on the PS3, it succeeds in "Obtain IP Address" and "Internet Connection" but when it gets to the "Playstation Network" it keeps failing (says connection with PS network timed out). Any suggestions?

 

Hello,

So I have been trying to play all of my friends in COD MW2 on the PS3 and I cannot connect with anyone in a game that I host or they host. My stepbrother set up the wireless internet in the house and is no longer around and I have no idea how to change any settings through the computer. All I can tell you is my UPnP is Available, My NAT type is 2, My default router is 10.100.1.1, primary DNS is 4.2.2.2 and my IP address is 10.100.1.189, Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. I have no problem playing people around the world or getting on the PSN but when it comes to hosting a game with my close friends the game will not let me connect with them. Is there anything I am doing wrong or anything I can do to fix the problem. I am not really Network programming savvy so this is really frustrating me.

Thank you all for your time!

this helped a friend who lives about ten miles away get his ps3 working so we could play! this link and also the thread here!!

 

This must be my problem. Everything is working fine now, have played a few online games, but still in NAT 3. Can anyone explain how to put my modem in "bridge mode"? I have the router from my provider and then a linksys plugged into that.

 

So what everyone is saying is that since I have NAT type 2 on my PS3 the problem with me hosting a game with only my friends is not on my end because I should have no problem right?

 

The weird thing is When I go into my settings on the PS3 the NAT Type says Type 2, but when I put a game in (say Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2) the game itself will tell me my NAT Type: Strict. I don't understand how I am getting 2 different NAT Types and how I can go about fixing the problem.

 

Ok everyone I promise this is my last post. I found out that the router in my house is a Linksys WAP4400n which is a business router for my stepfather to set up a static IP for his emails. When I looked at the Set up portion of the router there is nothing for port forwarding or anything like that that I can change. My question to all of you is that is it feasible for me to get a 2nd router for just my ps3 and plug it into the same modem <==is this even possible? I am thinking that if this is possible that it would be the best/easiest way for me to go right now. Any Ideas?

 

It would be better for him to replace that router with a Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS. @$70

Edit: I looked at the manual and your's does not have a Gamming portion on it. That sucks. Someone may know more about DD-WRT that can be downloaded to it but that gets technical. Over my head.

 

Well, I tried this and I got connected to the internet on my PS3. Thing is, I was connected to the internet before as well.

The problem I'm having is with the media server. I used to be able to run a media server just fine but somewhere along the way everything went to hell.

I can get the media server to show up on my XMB, but whenever I try to go and play something I get a DLNA protocol error 2104. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it, but nothing has worked.

My ISP is Comcast, cable connection. The router I use is a Netgear WPN824v3. I have the cable coming from the wall to the modem, then out to the router, and from there I have one ethernet cable connection to my PC, and one to my PS3.

I've tried both wired and wireless connections on my PS3. Wired gives me the problem mentioned above, and wireless just plain doesn't work. For the Wireless side, I've tried changing the security types, the security key, etc, but it always fails to get the IP. I'd really rather have a wired connection anyway.

Anyone know of a way to help me out? It'd be much appreciated. I've been Googling for days but the solutions people have given haven't worked.

 

Your solution should be, "get a linksys router". Two of my friends also have problems with Netgear routers and their respective ps3's. I use the wrt54g. It allows you to open up your router with "DMZ" in the gaming and applications page. My connection is Nat2 and I have never been logged out since! Good luck. Any more questions feel free to PM me.

 

Bleh I was hoping to avoid getting a new router. I can't afford one right now. :/

 

Got everything working correctly now--bridged my modem and now have NAT 2 working properly.

New problem: I don't know if this has anything to do with everything I've done to get my connection to work for online gaming, but now, I can't get netflix to work properly. If I followed all the above steps to get my router in the correct settings, would that effect my netflix operation?
