Portforwarding on sagem fast2504n problems

[RADZ1973]

Are you using a PC to check if the ports are open? If so make sure that the Windows or other software firewall is disabled or it will block connection attempts.

I am not sure you can use ports 80 and 443 as you want as these are reserved for HTTP and HTTPS.

If this is just for a PS3, try putting its address in the DMZ of the Sky router. I don't think there is much of a security risk with a gaming console.

I have put my ps3 in the dmz now and i disabled upnp as i read this was not needed when using dmz. Does this sound right or should i keep upnp on whilst putting ps3 in dmz. As for port forwarding i have given up my router just wont forward the ports i need i may just try the method you said about disabling all firewalls and antivirus to test ports. If this does work when i turn them back on wont my ports be blocked again ?.

You can leave upnp on or turn it off when your ps3 is in the routers dmz. It won't have a bearing on performance either way. My ps3s upnp is on but I've used it when it's off with no problems.

They should be to your PC, unless you allow them in the firewall, but they should be open to the PS.

Well when i forward a port with my ps3 ip which is static i check them with port forward port checker and they always fail. Ive tried everything but always the same outcome Port not reachable or offline. Have you been able to forward any ports to your ps3 .

I don't have one, my son does and it is in the DMZ, he has no problems.

You are using the wrong IP Address. Try using your Internet IP Address.

Also what you now need to do is add a rule under 'Firewall Rules'

It is at this point that you specify to the router where you want port 3074 to be directed towards.

So in this instance the 'Service' you have called "Test" will be forwarded to '192.168.0.100'.

Ignore me, speaking rubbish.
