(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Putting your PS3 into a DMZ (demilitarized zone) simply opens all of the ports on it.

If you have the following problems, this is likely to fix it.
Not being able to join rooms
Not being able to speak over your headset
Not being able to hear other people over their headset
Not being able to join private games
Any problems to do with connectivity to the PSN, especially if your computer will connect to the internet, but your PS3 won't.


(On PS3)

Firstly, you will need to assign your PS3 a static internal IP address. Normally whenever a device connects to your router it will be assigned a different internal IP address. These are normally 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4 and so on. Assigning a static one will ensure that your PS3 will get the same one every time it connects.
Go to the "Settings > Network Settings > Internet Connection Settings" option on the PS3 XMB. Choose whether you are using wireless or wired.
Both selections should show a page called "Address Settings". Here you will need to select "Custom". Another page will then display entitled "IP Address Setting". The option "Manual" will need to be selected.
This will display a page where customizable IP Addresses are available to be entered.
IP Address - This will need to have the Static IP address in it. Use 192.168.1.80, simply because it is unlikely that 80 other devices will be connected at the same time.
Subnet Mask - always set to 255.255.255.0
Default Router - Is the internal IP Address of your router.
To get the exact ip of your router you should go to
Start
Run
cmd [Hit Enter]
Type in ipconfig and hit enter, this should come up with all the ip addresses to do with your computer and the network. The address you will need to enter in this option is listed as "Default Gateway".

Primary DNS - Same IP Address as "Default Router"
Secondary DNS - Same IP Address as "Default Router"
Proxy When you get to the proxy screen, select "Do not use Proxy"
MTU Automatic
UPnP Enabled

This should optimize your gaming to keep your ps3 from kicking internet ever so often and also show overall improvement

My router simply goes slower since my roommate plays the entire day cityville on facebook. If I make this dmz thing, will this probably make my gaming better or just having lag like i'm having now...?

My internet lags because my bro's are on Netflix 24/7!

Will this speed it up?

alright im gonna have to try this and i see if this works ill give feedback when im done!

it may help some but will not give you more bandwith which is what your roommate is using where hes on facebook it takes so much bandwith and your ps3 must run on whats left thus you will lag
this is mainly for connection isues like dropping ect
but i reccomend trying it it might at least make it tolereable but i wouldnt bank on it helping a whole lot

tl:dr version
maybe but prob not that much
tell that ****er to get the **** off that thing

no one likes to reply

After you do these ps3 settings, what do you do on computer?

all the steps are for the ps3 the onlything you need a computer for is to get you routers ip address
To get the exact ip of your router you should go to
Start
Run
cmd [Hit Enter]
Type in ipconfig and hit enter,

I thought you have to enable the ip into dmz through the router?

the settings from the ps3 interacting with the router will do it just follow this basic tutorial and u should be all good 2 go
