Opening Ports on Virgin?
Hi all
Bit of a newbie question I'm sure but I need some help! A game on the PS3 (FIFA09) requires me to open up some ports for online play. I have to open: TCP 80 to 80 TCP 9980 to 9989 TCP 12400 to 12499 TCP 30400 to 30499 UDP 3659 to 3659 UDP 9570 to 9570 UDP 9808 to 9811 UDP 9858 to 9861 Now this is fine if I'm on a Be connection as I just go to the router and open them but I don't think it's possible on Virgin with the modem I have. I've been told that I shouldn't need to do anything on Virgin as everything is open but something's wrong there because the game doesn't work like it does on other connections where I can open the ports. So if anyone has any advice or suggestions they'd be much appreciated. My set up is: OSX Leopard VM AMBIT Modem MacBook Pro |

I think opening up DMZ would work, but can you confirm that you are using a router or not with Virgin?

Hi there
I am not using a router. I am using the VM modem connected to an 'airport' by ethernet and then connecting wirelessly to the computer. So: Modem - Wireless station - PS3 |
Re: Opening Ports on Virgin?
On your PS3 goto system info, write down the IP address, then log into your router and add the PS3's IP to the DMZ which will open all ports.

Actually, the Airport extreme is a fully qualified router, it has a wan port, three ethernet ports (LAN) and a wireless access point. It supports NAT, DHCP, VPN, all the usual wireless standards... So look into your airport user manual how to open the ports that you need.

Re: Opening Ports on Virgin?
When you open ports on your router, don't forget to do the same on any software firewall you have too.

Moved to networking since it's about router settings ;)

Re: Opening Ports on Virgin?
You need to set the PS3 to use a static IP address
You need to to set the PS3 IP address to the 'DEFAULT HOST' in the airport extreme config. Default Host is the Apple term for DMZ. Default means that the PS3 wil be connected to the internet with no firewall protection, all ports will be open. |
