Firewall Settings for Playstation 3, PS3 Firewall Ports
Posted by alex in Insights at 8:27 PMIf your PlayStation 3 is operating slow, losing connection, or just not working right most of the time the chances are that you need to change some settings on your Internet router or firewall. Routers use NAT(Network Address Translation) to allow multiple devices to function behind the router as if they all have the public address that your ISP(Internet Service Provider) has provided to you. The PS3 requires various ports to be open to communicate with other users online as well as other ports to be opened to the PlayStation 3 for other games to function properly. Below I list these ports required for the PS3 to operate, ports required for certain games to operate, and followed by a brief explanation of what you need to look for in terms of configuring your router or firewall.
Please note that these ports are either going to be UDP(User Datagram Protocol) or TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) as specified below.
Ports Open For PS3
UDP: 3658, UDP: 3478-3479
TCP: 80, 443, 5223
Army of Two
UDP: 3658
TCP: 6000
Motor Storm
UDP: 3659-3660
Burnout Revenge
UDP: 3659, 9600-9699
Resistance Fall of Man
UDP: 9600-9699
Call of Duty 3
TCP: 3074
UDP: 3074
What To Look For On Your Router Or Firewall:
If you want to make this work for all games without every having to update things and you do not have other devices on your network that require port forwarding then you can set your PS3 IP as the DMZ IP on your router. If not look for the applications or port forwarding section on your router. Also look for anything related to NAT if you are unable to find the port forwarding section.

Hello kmcy47,
I have yet to need to do this as I rarely play my PS3 anymore however opening the below ports should do the trick according to others on the Internet.
TCP/UDP: 5223, 3478, 3479, 3658
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

Hello Stuzam101,
Try googling your router’s name/model number and “how to port forward”.
Thanks.

Hello alex,
Playing “IN” firewalls is dangerous and we do not recommend attempting that. Now if you are looking to play games on a PS3 that is behind a firewall it is likely specific ports, which include the ones listed in the article above, to be opened up through the firewall to the IP address of the PS3.
Again we recommend not playing *IN* firewalls but instead using them to secure your network and various other configurations. :)
Thanks.

Hello Sean,
Please read the comments above… you will see the ports for FIFA 11. If the port is not located in the list you will either need to add the port or select other and type in the port manually depending on what type of router you are configuring.
Thanks.

Hey Alex I’m all new to this and just got a PS3. My internet is enabled but I’m unable to get online or do anything until I get the update but it’s not working for me and just get an error code. I have talked to Sony and they said to contact my internet provider. They said it could be a firewall issue so how would I go about getting past this if I have a wireless connection? Is there some other setting I would use to get me in? Thanks for your help.

Hello ScottySauce,
Unfortunately its hard to provide much advise in these scenarios as everyones setup is a bit different. I would suggest finding someone you know that might have some knowledge about personal wireless routers or something to assist.
Thanks.

hi, am having a problem playing Resistance 3, connecting with my friend for co-op & also mortal kombat
i have made my router upnp enabled & put all the ports above
my question: in my router there is port trigger (which has port forward) & port mapping , in port maping what am i sopposed to input, i have external port internal port internal host address external host address(this last i keep blank as i dont know about it) , is this option mandatory or not?
2nd: are there any ports for the above games?
3rd: when u say udp: 3478-3479 i should put those 2 with the minus symbol in 1 input space or should i put 3478 in start then 3479 in end?
4rth: when u say 5223,3478-3479 u mean a single 5223 port like open it & end it not in joint with the range of 3478-3479 right?

Hello D_E,
It all depends on the router itself. I think you are correct in leaving the external host empty. As for the multiple ports question… I would add an entry for each port unless your router specifically states that it can do a range of ports which is what I am noting there. Again it will all depend on the router itself and the router firmware version.
Thanks.
