Connecting to psn (open) trouble! Help!!!

this is my first post and I've been trying to figure this out for days with no success. I have the new airport extreme and a Cisco 2100 cable modem. I am having trouble getting an open connection on my ps3. I have NAT type 2 Moderate. This has been really frustrating and taking up more time then it needs to. Time Warner has no answer for me. I either need to open the ports on the modem or router! Please help!!

The following is the write up I provide to the Xbox folks. The following web blog does a great job explaining the NAT issues with Xbox Live! Although the link is specifically for the Xbox, it pretty much holds true for the PS3 as well. Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live! on-line game that you want to play. As such, you basically have two options: 1) Create a DMZ (Apple calls this a Default Host) for the XBox or 2) Configure the AirPort for Port mapping to open the required ports to allow Xbox Live! access. Note: Of course, the ports that I listed are for Xbox Live. You would need to substitute the appropriate ones for the PS3 service ... or 3) Use a compatible router.
Option 1 - Create a DMZ
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT
Enable default host at: <Enter the IP Address for the XBox>
Option 2 - Configure Port Mapping
The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
Click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
Reserve address by: MAC Address
Click Continue.
MAC Address: <Enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox or the MAC address of the wireless depending on how you connect the XBox to the network.>
IPv4 Address: <enter the desired Private IP address>
Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT > Configure Port Mappings
Click the "+" (Add) button
Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
Public UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
Public TCP Port(s): 3074
Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
Private UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
Private TCP Port(s): 3074
Click "Continue"

  • HT5569 I am having trouble connecting to wifi can you help.

    I am having trouble connecting to wifi can you help.

    connectng with a pin # will not work with the ipad. you need to find out exactly what the actual wifi password is.
    pin and push buttons are used by wifi protected setup. which is an optional feture of WPA
    here are some ideas
    go to the routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254) and see if you can click on "show password"
    get the manual out, it should have the default user name and password you may need to access the routers page
    if your windows computer connects, then you should be able to right click the wifi connection and click on show password as well. this is somewhere in the properties page of the wifi connection
    also with windows its a good idea to click on "save wifi connection to usb drive" this can be used to connect other windows computers and xbox game consoles as well
    if your laptop computer is a mac book you can go to the keychain or icloud keycahin and reveal the actual passowrd as well.
    look at the actual router it might have directions on a sticker on how to access the routers configuration pages
    if you enter the wrong password on the ipad you need to forget the network and try again

    Hey X300X,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iMessages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    You may also want to reset your network settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
    Thanks,

  • I have connected my laptop to a separate monitor but it is only bringing up the background, not the programs that are open. Help?

    I have connected my laptop to a separate monitor but it is only bringing up the background image, not the programs that are open. Help? I assume there is a simple solution. Thank you in advance.

    That's called extended desktop mode.  You can think of it as an extension of your main screen probably off to the right.  Drag an app off the screen to the right and it will appear on the second monitor.  You can see and adjust placement of the second monitor in System Preferences > Displays > arrangement tab.  Drag the second screen around for your optimum placement.  Also the little bar can be moved to either screen and that determines which screen will contain the dock/menubar.
    Also you can toggle between Mirror and extend desktop mode by pressing CMD F1.

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

  • How to connect my iMac G4 to my network, it wont let me something about the password but I connect to a open network???Ask your question.

    Hello I have been trying to connect my iMac G4 to my network but I can't. I have a secure network with a password and is not let me in but I can connect to an open network with no password??? anybody can help???

    AirPort card in iMac G4 does not support strong WiFi encryption.
    I think WPA is the maximum for that WiFi card.
    If you have WPA2 in your WiFi network, you need to downgrade (not recommended)or wired connect the iMac G4.

  • Getting "Internet Connect Could not open the communication device"

    I am getting a pop up showing "Internet Connect - Could not open the communication device."
    Why is this? I have never got it before and after awhile my internet works just fine. I am trying to understand why it's popping up. The wireless networks I connect to are always working fine but my computer is just now giving me this pop up.
    Please help. Thank you.
    -Mike

    you could try moving either file one at a time, don't delete them though
    if moving the files and restarting does not fix the problem you can always put them back to the original location, it's just settings files
    possibly you'd need to setup your network prefernces again
    also, in System Preferences, click on Accounts pane, then your user name (you may need a password for that)
    on the right side of the Accounts window there is "Login Items" tab, see if anything shows up in login items
    as a guess, machine tries to connect by looking for your cell phone to use as a modem or something
    maybe check Network preference pane, see what shows up in Bluetooth

  • IPod touch won't connect to an open WiFi Network

    I am trying to help my cousin with a issue on his brand new iPod touch 32 GB. He was having issues with 3.0 and is now having the same issues with 4.0. The issue is that when you go to the network settings to connect to a open network it will show the correct network and let you seem like it is connecting, but the WiFi symbol will not show up in the top right of the iPod. If you go back to the WiFi setting the name of the network will change at random to strange names, for example the name of the network is Netgear and it will change to Nutgear and a bunch of other strange names. It has also done this with open WiFi networks at Starbucks, B&N etc. My iPhone works perfectly on the same networks. I have tried everything listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398 Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions. In the future, you might want to post questions like you have as a new post as we like discussions to stay on topic where possible. However, having said all of that, I'm happy to try and help you fix your problem.
    WiFi problems are not the easiest to fix as there is usually a lot of information missing in user questions - like router make/model, encryption used, whether or not you have chosen to hide your network name, etc. So, instead of a specific answer, I'm going to give you the general instructions that fix most WiFi problems.
    1. Reboot your router (just unplug the power cord)
    2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3. When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
    If you continue to have problems, you can find more tips here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    If you need to repost, please start a new discussion and I would go further an suggest you do it in the iPod touch > Using iPod touch group where it will get more visibility.

  • I have a 192 ip at home but I can't get rid of the 169 ip from my iPhone. My Mac perfectly connects to the wifi but my iPhone doesn't seem to connect to it. Please help.

    EUREKA, I found the solution to my problem in a Discussion initiated by gingertodd on July 27, 2011 entitled "Safari in Lion hijacked by malware."  The solution was provided by Badunit who recommended force quitting Safari and then reopening it while holding down the Shift key.  It worked instantly, and I subsequently was able to open Safari normally by just clicking on its icon in the Dock.   THANK YOU BADUNIT!

  • Query Window "Connection must be open" error?

    Hi:
    If I right-click on an Oracle connection and select "Query Window" from the menu I get a query window, but no matter what I try to do, hitting the Execute button results in :
    ERROR
    Connection must be open for this operation.
    Why does it think this connection is not open?
    Thanks.

    If you have MetaLink, you might take a look at Note:404340.1 (ODP.NET: Connection must be open for this operation)
    Perhaps that will be of some help.

  • Can't connect to PSN. Error code: ce-33987-0

    Almost every night I can't connect to PSN. Error code: ce-33987-0
    After multiple PS4 restarts and my router restarts - it connects. Sometimes it connects after few hours without doing anything at all. So I couldn't find any pattern.
    My router and internet is perfect - all other devices at home has perfect internet connection at full speed.
    I tried all the tricks I've found in this forum (make my PS4 primary, connect to wifi and connect back to cable, do not turn off PS4 and leave in standby, check NAT type etc.).
    But nothing helped.
    Connection test shows NAT Type 2 which is perfectly OK I guess.
    Is this PSN that unstable or what?
    How should I solve this problem?

    I've been having the same problem for over a week, but I think I found the solution to it.Firstly, my internet setup is an old netgear modem-router combo hooked up to a new TP-Link (n) router. The netgear is set to modem only mode. My ps4 is connected wirelessly downstairs.For about 3 months, my ps4 was working normally with no problems, but about a week ago this error code started popping up inconsistently. Sometimes everything was fine, most times it wasn't.I isolated the problem to the PS4-Router communication, as my ps3 (and everything else at home) worked perfectly with no changes to the setup. Possible Solution- Today, I factory reset both devices (Netgear and TP-Link routers) and set them up to the point where they worked normally (with my phone, laptop, etc).Then, I enabled UPnP on BOTH devices, and also Forwarded all the necessary ports for my PS4 on the TP-Link router.I changed the wireless channel on the TP-Link to [1] from [6].I also changed the wireless channel width on it from [auto] to [20mhz]. This automatically reduced my max Tx rate to [130mbps] from [300mbps]. (I suggest doing this manually if it doesn't change automatically).I rebooted the TP-Link router, and started up my ps4 after a few seconds. The system loaded perfectly, PSN signed in instantly, and I played an hour on BF4 with no problems. I also restarted my PS4 again to see whether the settings would 'Stick'. They did, it still ran perfectly. I won't play again for a few hours, but I will report here if it does/doesn't work. Good luck trying my solution, Hope it works for you.Happy Gaming

  • Trying to change NAT connection from moderate NAT connection to an open NAT connection for XBOX LIVE

    Hi, I have a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router/WRT160Nv2 and I have been trying to change my NAT connection from a moderate NAT connection to a open NAT connection for my Xbox Live on my Xbox 360. I can sign into my Xbox Live account but it is working on a moderate NAT connection. I have already enabled the UPnP and put in the proper port numbers. After doing that I signed into my Xbox Live on my Xbox 360 and tested my Xbox Live connection and still it says that I a moderate NAT connection. I do not know what elso to do and I would greatly appreciate step by step help from anybody who knows what they are doing. PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!
    Thank you

    A known issue with Linksys routers is the NAT Type 3 or anything related to dropping of Internet connectivity during play time.  Network Address Translation (NAT) is the ability of a router or firewall to translate a public IP address to a private IP address and vice versa.  It adds security to the network by keeping the private IP addresses hidden from the outside world.
