In most cases you will have to assign your PS3 a static IP address. I can't tell you step by step how to
do it to your router but hopefully now that you know what it's called you can find your way. You'll
need to know your PS3s MAC address to assign a static IP. To find your MAC address simply go to:
Settings > System Settings > System Information
You should now see your MAC address, I suggest you write it down.
Once your PS3 has an static IP address you need to open up a few ports. In my situation I simply went
to:
Applications & Gaming > Port Range Forward
Ultimately you need to open ports:
TCP: 80, 443, 5223
UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658
● Port 80-80 TCP
Port 443-443 TCP
Port 5223-5223 TCP
Port 3479-3479 UDP
Port 3479-3479 UDP
Port 3658-3658 UDP
You have to put (start) 80 (end) 80
Be sure to put in the static IP you assigned the PS3, and be sure to check "enable"
● Protocol Port number Access Notes
TCP (6) 80 Outbound Standard HTTP (web browsing)
TCP (6) 443 Outbound HTTPS (secure web browsing)
TCP (6) 5223 Outbound Secure Jabber (for online chat)
UDP (17) 3478 - 3479 Outbound + Inbound STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through
NATs)
UDP (17) 3658 Outbound + Inbound Playstation Network
Once you've done this turn off your PS3 and power cycle your router. Run another Internet Connection
Test and you're hopefully NAT Type 2.
