So yesterday TheFeed helped you open your NAT for Xbox Live, but you have a PS3... well today we're going to tell you how to open up your NAT for the PlayStation Network so you can frag in Resistance and race in MotorStorm with as many people as possible.
Not configuring your router's NAT to be "open" can lead to lag, hosting problems, failed connections, and getting disconnected from games.
Click through for details on how to get the most out of your PSN connection
To open your NAT for the PSN, you'll use the same steps as the Xbox guide, but replace the port numbers with these:
TCP: 80, 443, 5223
UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658
Instead of selecting "Both" on your router for each port, just put the one specified. If you aren't going to setup a lot of port forwarding, for the UDP ports, you can just forward the range 3478 - 3658.
TheFeed will be watching the comments to clarify any problems you might have with this so let us know if it's successful or not.

Hello to all this is how I solved the problem of strict Nat opened it first went for the fake DNS DNS S and P on your router to do: Go to Start a search write cmd and press enter now type ipconfig_ / all and you will see the address DNS DNS S P and you see example: 192.168.0.1 and see your IP address 192.168.0.101 then is not good for Videotron customers is that you should see is: DNS P: 24.200.241.37 DNS S: 24,200,243,189 for other ask your INF and change the
All� a tous voici comment j'ai r�gl� le probl�me du Nat strict a ouvert premi�rement il faux all� chercher le DNS P et DNS S de votre routeur pour se faire: Allez dans d�marrer a recherche �crire cmd et appuyer enter maintenant taper ipconfig_ /all et vous allez voir les addresse DNS P DNS S et vous voyez exemple: 192.168.0.1 et que voyez votre adresse IP 192.168.0.101
alors se n'est pas bon pour les clients de vid�otron c'est se que vous devriez voir : DNS P : 24.200.241.37
DNS S : 24.200.243.189 pour les autres demander a votre FNI et changer le

Is this post still being monitored? I haven't been able to achieve connection using the suggested settings. My NAT is Type 2 and the router in use is a linksys WRT54G. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I still haven't figured out a way using port forwarding in order to achieve open NAT, but I blame my stupid USR router, can't even understand the settings on it! I've used other routers, and never really had any problems.
Though, I did manage to achieve open NAT, but in the slightly more uncomfortable method using DMZ.
1-Make sure you set the IP Address of the PS3 to static, it should not change. The video on youtube explained this part.
2-Then go to the router settings from a PC, and set that IP address under the DMZ section.
a-One thing I noticed is that might cause problems is the DNS number, this might not be the same as the router IP number (which is usually 192.168.1.1, but 192.168.2.1 on my USR). So make sure you check this number when you do the ipconfig/all on the command prompt on the PC.

blacksaabath
is there a text guide for this? or just another link in general? a youtube video refers to the xbox guide posted on here BUT your link to the xbox guide isn't working for me... hopefully you actually check this (you said you were, but oddly there's been no posts for a couple weeks now....)
