Keep getting kicked from games that are p2p. Anyone able to help?

Hi people.

Me and my friend are trying to play bc2 onslaught mode. But he keeps getting kicked and then when I invite him again it won't let him back on.

Happened with op flashpoint 2 and army of 2 also.

Neither of us are on wireless and connected to a server seems ok as we played a lot of bc2 in team dm mode.

anyone have any ideas?

It might be your router, if you have one. Look at what ports your consoles/games use and add them to the exceptions list on your router so it knows it mustn't block them. Try looking at your NAT setting too, although I don't believe that may be it.

put your console into DMZ mode in your router.

google how to do this.

you need to set up a static IP and then put that into the DMZ option on your router - everything should then work fine.

PS3? If so, try turning off media server - it can cause some issues so I've heard.

Give your PS3 a static IP address and open some ports, google PS3 port forwarding.

Ok, Just tried to put ps3 into DMZ, But my o2 router won't give me the ps3 in the drop down box aagghhh

Anyone know what ports need to be forward on the ps3? or does every game use different ports? :/

Cheers for help so far.

They're pretty much the same for most PS3 games. There is a list here:

MW2 uses different ports to most other games just a heads-up. If you are feeling lazy you could just open up a large port range.
