CoD MW2 - Matchmaking Server message...

tuffty747 · 20 Jan 2010 at 22:06

Hey guys,

Right, was playing CoD online on PS3 fine last night, but today Dad has put a new router in, and ever since, I just get stuck with the "Connecting to matchmaking server..." message, he's tried allowing it through on the router's firewall, but still no luck.

Any of you guys have any suggestions? Anything would be appreciated

Cheers!

Cheers guys!

We've tried the DMZ way, and still nothing happened. It does seem like it's a case of the IP address is changing, or the ports need forwarding and Larkspeed, I think it might be the uPnP problem, it probably is turned off. From forums I've looked at, it does seem to be a problem with forwarding the ports.
When my dad gets home from work I'll get him to have another look.

Right, I've opened up all of those ports, I've also set myself a static IP address through the PS3's network settings. And still, I'm stuck at the matchmaking server message screen :confused:

Any ideas anyone?
If it helps it's a Tenda Wireless-N Router

Right, just bumping this thread up, as it's still not working

I've forwarded all the ports that Larkspeed told me to, and I've set it a permanent IP address, still it doesn't connect to the matchmaking server

Anyone got any other ideas as to what to try, apparently something along the lines of a Mac address has to be sorted? Not sure though :confused:
