Problem With PS3 Online
There is what happens. Go to play COD4 online and when I select team deathmatch for instance it thinks for a second and then it shows me, what map and say "waiting for 5 more players" and just sits there. That happens all the time.
Now if I go into split screen and play by myself for a min or 2 and then I try playing online again then it works like it should. That works about 80% of the time. Once it works once then It will work until I shut the PS3 down. I tried the port opening and setting the IP address. But to tell you the truth I dont really know what Im doing. My mom works at home sometimes so we had to get a static IP address. Does anyone have any ideas?It sucks because all I want to do is play that damn game! |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
I already answered this for you in the Call of Duty 4 thread:
It was doing that for me. You have to open a 7 ports on your router. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare uses ports 3658, 3478, 3074, 3075 (UDP) and ports 80, 443, 5223 (TCP). Once I opened those ports it worked perfect, no problems connecting to games or anything. Set your PS3 to a static ip, then forward those ports to the ip address. If you dont know how to forward ports on your router, go to portforward.com and go to your router, then select the ps3 or the game and it will show you how., |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
Yah thanks for that, but I already did that and it still has problems. Im not 100% sure how to set a static IP address on the PS3 but I went into setup and did the custom network and set the IP address manually(is that setting it as a static IP?).
After I did all that it worked perfect, the first time but never again. |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
This is how you configure PS3 manually:
http://foggaming.com/modules.php?name=PS3&file=ps3_ip Double check your DNS servers too, sketch DNS servers can cause problems. Other than that it should be pretty simple, and I guess like tpunx says you need to open up some ports on your router for PS3 online gaming. |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
Played it earlier today with no problems. Using a crappy Dlink DIR-615 router with Mediacom cable and only had to disable UPnP on my router for my PS3 to use it.

Re: Problem With PS3 Online
To set the ps3 you simply use the network wizard where you set up your internet connection, and use the Advanced setup, then when it asks if you would like to set up your ip address manually chose yes.
Change the settings to something like 192.168.x.150 Subnet 255.255.255.255 gateway (ip address of router) DNS (ip of router.) The x is dependent on what router it is, and what network you have it set up as. Then you have to forward the ports on the router to point to the ps3 static ip address. If you really need more help, lemme know and maybe tonight we can do a remote desktop and ill config it for you. |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
I set the PS3 to static a few days ago. this is what I have for the info
IP address: 192.168.1.110 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 default router: 192.168.1.1 Primary DNS: 10.1.10.1 Secondary DNS: 10.1.10.1 And this is the screenshot of my portforwarding. http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...g?t=1201716019 Anything out of the ordinary? or other info needed? And The NATtype is type 3, which is says that online play maybe limited or something. How can I change that? Thanks for your help guys |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
PSN4 shows 3478-3479 change that to 3478-3478.
Also why do you have the Primary and secondary dns to 10.1.10.1. On the PS3 primary and secondary should be set to 192.168.1.1 Also where it says Protocol, change PSN1, PSN2 and PSN3 to TCP, and the remaining ones to UDP. just to be sure. |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
On my computer it said the DNS was 10.1.10.1. I was told that was the number to use.
|
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
Alright, I changed the DNS to 192.168.1.1 and now the UPnP is "available" before it said "unavailable". But I went to play and the online still didnt work until I played split screen for a min by myself.
And I also changed all that stuff you just said to change. |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
Check if there is a way in your router to disable UPnP.
Are you connecting via wireless or wired? |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
Wireless, There is a way to disable upnp. Do I want that disabled? also the NAT type is 3, could that be my problem?
|
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
Chances are good that is your problem. To change the NAT type all you have to do is change the encryption method for your wireless, then change it on your ps3 and you should be good.

Re: Problem With PS3 Online
Its not a hardware issue. The CoD servers are prone to crashing/overloading and not allowing people to play.

Re: Problem With PS3 Online
Am I able to connect to a wireless router with my PS3? I have cable net downstairs in my house and upstairs is my PS3 and shit. Really, what I'm wanting to know, how the F do I get on the internet with my PS3? I don't want to move my stuff down stairs, I just want to connect upstairs. What will I all need? I get the wireless router, but how does the PS3 read that? Erm, I'm confused.
|
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
Wireless is built into it. you have to go to the network settings and configure the wireless and turn it on.
There is no software to connect to a wireless router. just settings. |
Re: Problem With PS3 Online
So, all I need is this?
I'm sorry for wanting a spoon, but I searched and all I found was BS on how to set it up on the network once everythings all hooked up. I need to know how to hook it up. Thanks |
