Multiple Online PS3's

SJL99 · 02-09-2009, 09:52 AM

Hi People,

Can anyone help me with my PS3 problem regarding multiple online gaming from one router?

In our house we have 3 PS3's all connected to the router via cable wiring. Individually we can play online with no problem, but we can not all play together. I have searched the web for solutions but still with no luck.

We have a Barricade Router which also has 5/6 PC's connected. However I do not think this is the problem.

We all just want to play COD online together! Please help!!!

Are you getting booted from servers, or are the PS3's failing to connect to start with? It could be a serverside limitation like one client per modem.

EDIT: DOH! How foolish of me.

The PS3 needs a port or two forwarded to it in order to connect with the game network, right? You can only forward that port or ports to one client at a time.

A solution would be to connect through a switch (not a router), but depending on situation you may only be able to connect up to 2 at a time if your internet company is anything like mine.

Good luck!
