Cannot Connect To PS3 Server

[nmirzayantz]

I Really Need Some Help, I Have Gone Though All The Manuals And Everytime I Go And Change Something That They Have Advised Me, It Get The Following Messages Below.
I Know There Are Users On Here That Have Connected Up All Ok.
How Did U Do That ? Do U Manual Set It Up On The Network Settings On The Ps3 And Then Set Up Anything New On The Router...

When I Go To Sign Up For Playstation Network I Get The Following Message. A Connection To The Server Could Not Be Established.
When I Go To Internet Broswer I Get Page Cannot Be Displayed.
When I Go To The Playstation Store I Get The Following A Connection To The Server Could Not Be Established.

I Cannot Remember Where And When But I Sometimes Get This Message Too (80710723)
Dns Error
8002ae1d
Server Could Not Be Established – 80028ea7

Im Connecting Wirelessly ( Its The Sky Router ) And That Is Tested All Ok.

Its Seems Like I Cannot Connect To The Playstations Server But Why.....

Thanks

I helped a friend setup his PS3 with a linksys router and it worked straight out of the box via wireless (or so he says ) That being said there where some ports used by the PS2 that you could try to forward to the PS3 IP, I would imagine they havent changed the ports since they registered them, just an idea. Ports are: TCP 4658, 4659 and UDP 4658 and 4659. Forward these to ur PS3, if ur not sure how just ask

Its a weird one as communication is initiated by the PS3 so it shouldnt be blocked by default

why double post!! Ive responded to the duplicate post

[nmirzayantz]

1st off, sorry about the duplicate post...

2nd with regards to "Ports are: TCP 4658, 4659 and UDP 4658 and 4659. Forward these to ur PS3"
how do i do this ?

like this ?


Service Definition
Name:
Type: TCP
Start Port: 4658
Finish Port: 4658

or Service Definition
Name:
Type: TCP/UDP
Start Port: 4658
Finish Port: 4658

thank again

[d3fiant]

the second option

[nmirzayantz]

thanks, within the services am i able to enter as many as i like ? or does if have to be the two that you have mentioned.

as i have been advised if these too

TCP: 80, 443, 5223, and Port Range 10070 - 10080
UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658, and 10070

plus what do they mean " Port Range 10070 - 10080 "

do i have to enter that anywere?

thanks again

it still makes no sense that you cannot connect to the PS3 servers without any config changes to the router, have you tried to connect the PS3 via ethernet to confirm it is not a wireless issue, this would be my first port of call. You will also need to make sure uPnP is running on the router, it is by default but apparently the PS3 makes use of this to negotiate via NAT

[d3fiant]

also some people are stating you need to allow the PS3 to update its firmware to address some networking issues, however since your problem is the connection then it may be catch 22, let us know how you get on with a wired connection

thanks, i havent connected it up vis the eithernet cable as my router is in a different room, but i will try that.
But with regards to that when testing the internet testing connection test, it comming back all ok....

I have just had a look in the UPnP and there nothing there.
I have hit refresh but nothing is coming up....i have enter and saved
Service Definition
Name:
Type: TCP/UDP
Start Port: 4658
Finish Port: 4658
and
Service Definition
Name:
Type: TCP/UDP
Start Port: 4659
Finish Port: 4659

Thanks

and yes, there is a tick in the tick box in the UPnP
