Playstation 3 Setup
There are two ways of allowing your Playstation 3 to communicate with the internet. One is
through port forwarding and the other is through the DMZ feature. Port forwarding will enable
specified ports on the router to get access to your Playstation 3 to communicate with the
internet as if they were directly connected by allowing access through. Setting your
Playstation 3 as a DMZ host opens all the ports on the router to allow access to a designated
device.
Before you configure the router, you will need to set a static IP address on your
PlayStation. Follow the instructions at the link below to set a static IP address on
your Playstation:
http://portforward.com/networking/staticip-ps3-playstation-3.htm
You can use an IP address like 192.168.20.100 for example.
You can only forward a port to one location (IP address).
In some cases, this may cause issues when multiple LAN devices (computers,
game consoles, or VOIP ATAs) attempt to use online gaming as same time or
make multiple VOIP service connections.
In these cases, you would need to use an alternate port for any subsequent
connections after the first device.
Please consult your VOIP provider or game manufacturer for assistance with this.
