Playstation 3: Enable ports
To play online on Playstation 3, you have to open the ports in your router. We'll tell you how to do this here.
1. Find out the IP of the Playstation
Before you can enable the port on the router, you need the IP of your Playstation 3:
- To do this, start the Playstation and press the [PS] button.
- Switch to the "Network setting".
- Carry out the "connection test" here and note the IP address.
2. Open network ports
- Open the administration interface of your router. Usually this can be reached under "192.168.178.1", "192.168.0.1", "speedport.ip" or "fritz.box". This can vary depending on the manufacturer.
- Look for the "Port Sharing" (or similar) option. Make sure that you only activate the following ports and the correct protocols (TCP or UDP). We show the details in step 3.
- Then save your changes and check whether you have an internet connection to the Playstation 3.
3. Enable ports in the network
You have to enable the following ports for the network in your router:
- 80 (TCP)
- 443 (TCP)
- 52253 (TCP)
- 3478 (UDP)
- 3479 (UDP)
- 3658 (UDP)
