My router is blocking ports on PS3 - Bad Company - Can't Create Squads. WRT160Nv3

Hey Guys,
I have read every where that the best thing to do is "dmz" my router or something of that nature. I'm a complete noobie when it comes to this sort of thing. I don't know how to assign a Static IP. I don't know if this means I have to call my ISP too assign me a Static IP or if I just have to assign an IP to my PlayStation and then Add that IP too the Router? Ugh, I'm just lost when It comes to this stuff. I need a simple BreakDown. If anyone can give me one.?.
I get a NAT - 2 connetion. 97% Signal Strength. 14 MB up 1 MB Down. The only thing I can't do *that I know of so far* is create my own squad in Bad company, People just get an error. I can join squads, at least certain squads. I assume the squads I can't join are ones that are on routers and have the same problem as myself. 
I assume that this is because ports are being blocked by the router. I asked the guy who installed my internet if they Blocked ports and he said they don't block ports. So I assume it's the router. Can anyone help me Unblock the ports on my router.....like " Unblocking your ports for dummies "
Thanks in advance.

Follow this link and it will provide you all the information how to assign a Static IP on your PS3 as well as how to open the Ports for your PS3 on your Router.

  • How can I use Back to my Mac when my ISP blocks port 1900?

    I was just forced to switch ISPs (don't ask...) and it turns out that my new ISP (Astound) lied to me and actually does block port 1900, which means that Back to my Mac (on which I rely) does not work.
    Has anyone seen this and found a viable workaround? Preferably one that is easy for my non-technical family to use also, but all suggestions are welcome.
    Thank you!

    So, I convinced my ISP to open port 1900 and they did, but it's still not working.
    I get two messages that make no sense to me, but I hope indicated something that someone here can help me undertstand...
    When I open the iCloud preference pane in System Preferences, It says just below the Back to my Mac setting "Configure Router for better performance" - My Airport Extreme is configured with  Back to my Mac and it looks like my account shows a green indicator.
    Second, next to the Back to my Mac setting in the iCloud preference pane, there is a button labeled "Details..." When I click that it tells me that "Back to my Mac is not working properly because the DNS server isnt' responding" and suggests I contact my ISP for a different DNS server.
    All other internet services - including iCloud services - are working fine. I even tried changing my DNS servers to Google's public DNS servers and nothing changed.
    Any suggestions are very much appreciated! Thank you!

  • Blocking Port 192

    The company that processes credit card transactions is insisting we block port 192. How is this done? I have hear similar issues from other companies.

    I see from your other posts that you do have an Airport Extreme base station.
    As I indicated, this is not something I know much about either. I'm not even sure that the AEBS is the problem, though it seems to be according to the post I listed. I guess you could temporarily connect your Mac directly to your broadband modem, to see if the claimed vulnerability is still there.
    Assuming the AEBS is the problem, one thing you could try is to disable outside SNMP access - I found another post suggesting that [here|http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=602839]. I have an older AEBS, which uses Airport Admin Utility for configuration. It's help section includes
    Protecting your AirPort network from denial-of-service attacks
    Networks managed by Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) may be vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks. (SNMP is turned on by default in AirPort Admin Utility.) Similarly, if you allow your base station to be configured remotely over the wide area network (WAN) port, unauthorized users may be able to change network settings.
    To help protect your network and base station:
    Open AirPort Admin Utility, located in Applications/Utilities.
    Select your base station and click Configure. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort, and click Base Station Options. Make sure the Enable SNMP Access and the Enable Remote Configuration checkboxes are not selected.
    If the Enable SNMP Access and Enable Remote Configuration checkboxes are deselected, you must configure the base station using only the local area network (LAN) or the AirPort wireless network.
    The newer Airport Utility may do this differently.
    Hopefully you can also get more help from others who are more knowledgeable about networks. As a last resort you could ask the security company to recommend a wireless router that they know will pass their test.

  • SSH Tunelling to bypass blocked ports

    Hi. I'm living in a boarding school where they block the online "gaming" part of PSN. I can connect to a network and sign into PSN just fine. However, when I click "test internet connection" when it is determining my NAT type, it gives me error NW-31374-8 (NAT type failed). I am connecting to internet via a router which I set up by sharing the internet connection from my Mac (wifi into mac, Ethernet out of mac into router, router wifi out into PS4). I can do any online function other than game, E.g: watch netflix, watch youtube, add friends. Therefore, if I set up SSH tunelling would I be able to bypass these blocked ports or not? Cheers

    Don't think you can. I've posted the question in other forums, and have seen other people's similar questions posted in other forums. "ssh -D {port number}" is supposed to let the client forward a proxy port, and the ssh daemon (on what would be the proxy machine) is supposed to support SOCKS 4 and SOCKS 5 proxy, which are both purportedly options in iChat. But it doesn't work. I hope somebody can call me a liar and tell me how they have successfully done it....

  • EA4500 router not opening ports even in DMZ

    I have a EA4500 router running the following firmware: http://puu.sh/4l2Hb.jpg
    I want to forward the following ports to host a game server: http://puu.sh/4l2Jb.png
    In case you are wondering device ip# is correct and my computer has a static ip: http://puu.sh/4l2KQ.png (picture taken from the ipconfig command)
    I made an exception for each and every one of these ports through windows firewall: http://puu.sh/4l2VU.png
    more proof of the ports having an exception: http://puu.sh/4l2Xl.png
    what happens when i check to see if the port is open: http://puu.sh/4l30O.png (ip adress hiden)
    I have done everything correctly to my knowledge yet the ports are still not open. I have called my isp and they claim to not be stopping me from blocking ports. If it is the ISP's problem could someone explain to me exactly what I should ask them or tell them to do the next time I call their support line?
    Also when I put the router in dMZ mode (a mode that i understand to open all my ports) my ports still remain closed which I really do not understand at all.
    Solved!

    Hi,
    The IP address that you removed from here http://puu.sh/4l30O.png , is it the same with the WAN IP (Internet IP Address) displayed on the router? If it's not, then you have a double NAT issue. But if you have the same IP and still not opening the ports, you may try to check it directly to the modem. There are some ISPs that blocks uncommon ports and you may have to contact them to open it.
    If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

  • VOIP has stopped working -- FIOS Internet -- Verizon blocking ports?

    Background:
    I have two VOIP device, one is from VOIP.com (HT-286) and the other is my Blackberry 8220 wifi-enabled phone.
    Until December, I had Cox Internet for the last two years -- ZERO problems with the above devices.  I made and received phone calls just fine.
    FIOS internet installed early december.  Both devices worked fine on install.  I made and recevieved VOIP phone calls with both the VOIP.com device (Home phone) and my wifi Blackberry.
    I've taken my VOIP box over to the neighbor's to test it -- works fine.  I plug into their router and have no problems.  My wifi Blackberry works just fine when I go to to the bookstore or coffee shop (Free wifi).
    Internet (as defined by using PC web browser) and TV work fine.  We have VOIP service with VOIP.com.
    Problem:
    About two weeks ago, I noticed that I would occasionally get phone calls on the blackberry and there would be no one there. I didn't think anything of it until my wife finally asked me why she couldn't make outgoing calls on the house phone.
    I tested it, and this is what I found:
    BOTH PHONES:
    Phone rings.  "Dead" call.  However, the caller can hear ME but I cannot hear them
    I make outgoing call on VOIP/house phone:  I get dial tone, and dial as normal, but once I've dialed, SILENCE.  No ring, nothing.  The called phone will ring but I will not hear it, nor hear the other party answering.  I can call my wife's cel phone (Tmobile) or work phone and it rings.  She can hear me, but I cannot hear her.
    I make outgoing calls on wifi Blackberry:  Enter number and press send as normal, but SILENCE.  Same symptoms as above.
    As I said, I've taken both devices to other networks and they work fine.  NOTHING was changed on the router in the time frame EXCEPT the name of the SSID, which I changed the very first day --both devices were working for several weeks after.
    I have powered off and restarted the router a dozen times and I just did a "hard" reset to return it to the factory settings :: my voip service still is not working properly.
    WHAT I HAVE DONE:
    I called Verizon FIOS Internet support.  They say since I can watch TV and access the web, that nothing is wrong.
    I called VOIP.com and they say they see the device coming into their network, but they cannot see if Verizon is blocking ports 5060-5070.
    Blackberry support flat-out says that Verizon is blocking ports.
    Can someone help?

    VZ isn't blocking those ports.  they only have restrictions on port 25, and in some areas port 80.  all other ports are open.
    I would reach back out to voip.com and see if you can escelate it with them.    you can also go to portforward.com and see if they have any walkthrough guides for your particular device.    if you have a friend with fios you can try switching routers to see if that is the culprit, but there is nothing in your description that suggests to me that it would be a router issue.     Also look into QOS if your VOIP people can give you any information on that,   it may also be an avenue you would want to explore if you have VOIP transpiring over there.

  • Verizon blocks ports?

    I have DSL & Actiontec GT704-WG. I opened a port to host online game, but when I use a port scanner found here: http://www.canyouseeme.org/
    It tells me my port is closed even though I forwarded everything correctly. Does verizon block any ports besides 80? I only use windows firewall so i know its not a firewall problem. Anyone with same router can help me?
    Thanks
    heres a snapshot of my router
    http://i45.tinypic.com/105edd5.jpg

    Verizon itself doesn't block ports at the head end besides port 25 for smtp outgoing email.  they basically don't let spammers bounce messages off their smtp servers to send emails.   Port 80 is questionably blocked by region - I have seen a lot of users in the forums that have port 80 unblocked.  and then sporadically a user forum member will say its blocked but most people say its unblocked now.  VZ made that decision middle of last year.
    The router that verizon provides has a firewall and like all firewalls it blocks a BUNCH of stuff.  that's what firewalls do.  it's kinda their gig.
    If you port forward, try to use portforward.com for a good guide.
    Basically this is stuff you probably know, but I'll recap just in case.
    Set your pc to have it's own IP address   - you'll configure that on your PC nic settings under tcpip v4
    then go into the router, and open the proper ports.  I don't know what ports your game wants, but make sure the source port is set to any, and do not specify a number in that section.
    make sure its pointed to the IP you gave your PC, and apply the changes and try again.
    if that doesn't work there may be one or two users here that will pop up that may have additional info, but you can also reach out on the portforward.com forums and see if you can get some answers there,   DSL Tech support won't help with any port forward configurations.  they consider it advanced and out of their boundaries.

    Then you need to block all the port venues that their P2P Applications are capable of using perhaps even legitmatate ports that you use for you own needs? 
    A far better solution is to be firm but fair when dealing with their Internet access, it requires more discussion & time but it is usually a far better long term option with less friction.
    On a slight diversion, blocking ports may only a short term solution anyway, is your router properly IPV6 aware. (very few are )
    Take al look at these links.
    IANA, ARIN, and the IPv4 run-out
    The .net domain joins the DNSSEC fold
    The exaustion IPV4 addresses & the expected signing of the .com domain to DNSSEC early next year should make 2011 an interesting one.

  • Web Server Blocks Port 80 - What am I to Do?

    I have a WebSite that will load up locally, but not remotely. I think it's because the web server is blocking port 80. How do I get around this (port forwarding - how do you do it)?

    There are a few ways to do this... This is what I do, personally... This is sketchy, but you can figure it out with some research and lots of googling!
    1. Set the machine that will be the server to use a static internal network address. I use 192.168.2.100. This is the internal, non-routable IP address of the machine on your network. This is not the IP that your modem/router receives from your internet provider.
    2. Open an external port on the router that is not blocked by your ISP. I use port 5100. Then configure the router to listen on external port 5100, and pass all "port 5100" traffic to 192.168.2.100 and port 80. By doing it this way, I avoid having to edit the apache configuration. Apache listens to port 80 by default. Apache does not realize that the traffic originally entered the network on port 5100.
    3. If your external IP address is dynamic, you will want to start googling "dyndns". It is a free service that will let you "register" a domain name. In my case, my router notifies DynDns automatically whenever it gets a new IP from the provider. This way, I don't have to remember my IP address, which changes anyway... I just remember my domain name. I can use any network service, such as SSH, Apache, ftp, etc....
    Good luck!

  • Need Help Blocking Port 53

    I hava an Actiontec MI424WR Gen2 wireless router. I also have a family member who is addicted to video games. To stop gaming acces I programmed my router to route all traffic thru OpenDNS server. In OpenDNS I selected blocking of Games. After this failed, OpenDNS said the only solution is to force ALL my network traffic thru OpenDNS servers by blocking port 53. But I am not a geek and need steo by step instructions. Please help.

    You can use the parental controls in the Actiontec router to block all internet access for a particular computer (or groups of computers) on a schedule.  This may be easier than mucking around with OpenDNS.  You could even unplug the router if you don't mind loosing access for everyone in your household.
    However, If your game playing family member has more tech skills then you, you may be fighting a loosing battle.  If one of your neighbors has an open WiFi network or is willing to help your family member, you'll loose all technical controls.
    If the game player is a youth, you may be better off with more traditional methods such as locating the gaming computer in a common area so it is subject to supervision at all times.
    Good Luck.

  • Mail Server when Comcast blocks port 25

    I want to host a mail server, and am able to get mail to send, but am unable to receive mail.  I tried sending an email from my gmail, and it gets delayed because it can't connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25.  I then found out that Comcast blocks port 25.  Is there a way to change what port the server app uses so it can receive mail?

    This is a common question; you're not the first person to have considered resetting the SMTP TCP port. 
    As Strontium90 indicates, you can most certainly set up your own global mail infrastructure on a variant port (possibly even by using DNS SRV records to find the port de jour), but by the time that's all coded and debugged and generally accepted and standardized and in widespread use around the planet, Comcast and the other ISPs will probably just detect and block the new port or the new service on their residential service tiers.  Which means you'll need to add TLS encryption and potentially random ports, and down the proverbial rabbit hole we go. 
    But seriously, the usual and preferred and best approach is a business class service, as that has port access and you can get correct DNS.  Without correct forward and reverse DNS translations, many other SMTP mail servers will detect a dynamic IP service as a spam engine, and drop outbound mail as it arrives.  Some mail servers will detect this and will also drop inbound mail, as well.
    As an alternative to a business-class service, you can set up a mail relay through your ISP, or potentially a relay via a commercial mail relay service — if either of these approaches is permitted by your ISP terms of service.  There are various folks that offer these mail hop services by subscription, but then all your mail is routed through that service and that may or may not be desirable.
    Hosting your own virtual private server or dedicated host just for mail can be pretty cheap these days, if you're willing to run your mail server in a data center.  That avoids all entanglements with your ISP.  (But again, if you're willing to host your mail elsewhere.)

  • EA6500 and Blocking Apps/Blocking Ports

    So I bought the EA6500 yesterday, to replace my E3200.
    Formerly, with the E3200, I was able to block applications on the router admin page, without blocking all internet access, under the "Access Restrictions" Tab. I could create access policies that allowed internet access to specific devices, while blocking port ranges/protocols for specific applicatons. while this didn't work for Skype, which jumps from one port to the other until it finds an open one, it worked perfectly for World of Warcraft. the primary target of my restrictions.
    in common with the old setup for the E3200, the new cloud login allows me to block internet access completely to a device. it also allows me to block websites to my heart's content, an improvement upon the old system, which stopped at four. but to my great surprise, it will not allow me to specify port blockages for specific apps for specific devices.
    amazingly, hile the new EA6500 is blessed with the added capability of actually recognizing applications by name, *it is only to give them greater priority*. the Media Prioritization tab lets you give a ton of your bandwith to specific apps, but won't let you throttle or block them. 
    Is there some way to work around this? Some alternative firmware? again, I don't want/need to block all internet access to a particular computer. I only need to block some apps (World of Warcraft, and Skype, possibly some torrents) by closing some ports.
    Is this possible?

  • Does Verizon FiOS block Port 5900?

    Okay, so I've got a computer with absolutely no ports blocked, I've shut off the firewall, the thing is behind a router, but set as DMZ. I still can't control/observe. I can use every other feature of ARD except control/observe, and screen sharing. I've confirmed that port 5900 is not responding on the computer in question, despite the above extreme trouble-shooting measures. The computer in question is not on my local network, it's in another state with Verizon FiOS internet. Does Verizon block port 5900, or should I suspect there is something else going on with the router or ARD?
    If port 5900 is being blocked by the ISP, can I use router/ARD magic to change what port actually gets used, while still making ARD happy?
    I'm kind of going crazy here...

    Welcome to the Discussions,
    You will have to check with Verizon to see if they pass port 5900 or not. I suspect that may be the case.
    While I can't tell you how to change the port, I can tell you that many administrators use port 80 tools like gotoassist.com or logmein.com for system on networks out of their control. Of course you won't be using ARD, but it is much easier than changing the default port settings on every machine.

Maybe you are looking for
