Sony's firewall port's to open to play online gaming (OPEN NAT)

This worked for me to get my NAT open ..
To find out how to do this on your router just Google your router model name &
model # to find out how to open ports on your router .
After this is done try it wired first to see if it worked ,if not then go wireless
or try DMZ mode .

If you are able to connect to the Internet but cannot get into Sony Computer Entertainment America's (SCEA) game servers or network, it may be a firewall issue. A firewall is a security product that employs a combination of hardware and software to prevent unauthorized users or Internet traffic from gaining access into a private local area network (LAN) or personal computers. Many routers or modems have a firewall built in to them. In order to allow certain information to pass through, specific TCP and UDP ports on the router or modem will need to be opened in the router or modem's settings.

Below are the TCP and UDP (firewall) port numbers you will need to have open to connect online with PlayStation products.

IMPORTANT:

* Make sure to enable these TCP/UDP ports in BOTH directions and are entered into the TCP and UDP port fields in your router / modem.
* Contact your Internet Service Provider or router manufacturer for proper instructions on how to input port information for your network.

PlayStationNetwork and SCEA Game Servers

All games published by SCEA (first-party) and the PlayStation Network may use the following ports for communication with SCEA (first-party) game servers:

* TCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223, and 10070 - 10080
* UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658, and 10070


PlayStation3 Remote Play

PlayStation3 Remote Play (via the Internet) requires:

* If the router in use supports UPnP, enable the router’s UPnP function.
* If the router does not support UPnP, you must set the router’s port forwarding to allow communications to the PlayStation 3 from the Internet.
* The port number that is used by remote play is TCP Port: 9293

USB or Bluetooth Headsets

* TCP Port: 80
* UDP Ports: 6000 - 7000, 50000, 10070

Note: headsets must be compatible

Has anyone else done this yet? I only just did the DMZ thing today and went E-net over Wireless. If I can find an idiot guide somewhere I'll give it a go.

Bud it worked for me give it a try .

My PS3 seems to be staying open with it in DMZ, but I wanted to know if the Port Forward completely bypasses the router firewall before doing it.

My nat type changes randomly.

If I turn the router off it seems to reset itself and stays as an open type for a day or two. That's my method.

That's what mine was doing but it was pissing me off having to reboot everything when I could see a lobby full of ppl waiting to go and I couldn't join because of a stupid moderate NAT like Bombers. I'm sure that bloody yamyam causes most of our party matching problems

LMAO

Definitely bombers fault

I must be lucky, my NAT has been and always stays open since the day I bought it.
