Re: [ps3] Firewall Settings for PS3 The way I set up my DI-624 with PS3 is enabling the Gaming Mode on the router (I think it is on the Tools tab, Misc button). uPnP did not do anything for me. I also have a static IP assigned to the PS3, so that I can place the PS3 on DMZ. It seems to me that some of the game hosting requires this kind of set up (e.g. Rock Band 2, Metal Gear Online). |

1 edit | Have you run the Network test from the XMB to see what your NAT says? Needs to be NAT 2. DMZ is actually not necessary for hosting as you've mentioned for PS3 or XBL, NAT'g takes care of that, so if that's not testing correctly then that's part of a problem.
I have had UPnP probs also w/ older dlinks like you've got, trying to setup customers networks, so that's not surprising. Not sure about the gaming mode.
Reset the Dlink back to fac defaults, this is the best way to assure you're getting DMZ setup correctly. Assign the PS3 the static IP, setup in DMZ and then reboot everything. Once done run network test to verify the connection.
If that doesn't help, might just be time to upgrade. There are plenty of updated models out there now that will handle this a lot better for you and they are not expensive.
