Online gaming - PLAYSTATION 3

Dark_Forge99 · 03-27-2008, 09:24 PM

Well, I have my PS3 manually (and wireless) connected to my Linksys WRT54G.v4 router, and I went to the Network Settings in my PS3 and everything passed the network test.

Regardless of that, I seem to have a problem playing games online. Things like Burnout Paradise, Puzzle Fighter II HD Remix, Lost Planet, etc, always disconnect from the server and kick me out of the online match. I have no other devices connected to the router except for the PS3, so the only process going on is the PS3 and the game.

I have no idea why this is happening, and I'm pretty certain no one else is going through this crap. Anyone want to help me?

Can you access the internet and the Playstation store?

Dark_Forge99 · 03-27-2008, 09:58 PM

Yup. I can download games/pictures/etc no problems. I can access the internet just fine.

It's probably blocked ports then. Try unblocking TCP 80, 443, 5223 and UDP 3478, and 3479, then give it another go.

And just what do I enter for the application name in the port configuration for my WRT54G.v4 Linksys router good sir?

Typing in PS3 should be fine

I don't think the name really matters.

I just did that and it's still booting me off. For example, I can get into an online match in Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, and within 3 seconds after the game starts, it kicks me out saying it's a Network Error.

Then I think it could be a network problem. Try/answer these:

1. Is your internet connection at least 512 kbps?
2. Have you got a bluetooth headset/headphone connected to your ps3? (If so, try disconnecting it and trying again)
3. Call your ISP up and check with them that it isn't a fault on their end
4. Did online gaming ever work for you?
5. Is there a code the error message gives you?
