Game is Full and You Need Help Joining a Game
I've noticed many are experiencing connection problems with
joining games because it says they are full. Don't be
fooled! I'll teach you how to fix the problem.
If you've ever done port forwarding, all you need to do
is forward the five PlayStation Network ports, allowing
the PS3 (not your computer) to access them. Here are the
ports you need:
PSN1 TCP: 80-80
PSN2 TCP: 443-443
PSN3 TCP: 5223-5223
PSN4 TCP: 3478-3479 (NOTICE THE DIFFERENT NUMBERS!)
PSN5 TCP: 3658-3658
For those who don't know how to port forward, visit
www.portforward.com and check their guides section.
Here's an overview of what you need to do most of the
times:
(1) Find your IP address. Go to Run, type in "cmd"
to open the black box. Type in "ipconfig" and it will
show your IP address. Type that in your internet
browser.
(2) You'll access your router for you internet. Click on
firewall settings to access your port management
section.
(3) Click on something that might say Edit firewall
settings and you'll access your ports.
(4) Click on something that might say Add a new
user-defined application or similar that lets to add
a new port forward.
(5) In the following boxes, for the name, type in PSN1
(or 2, 3, 4, or 5), and in the TCP boxes, type in the
number that corresponds. Do not include dash as there
should be two separate boxes for you.
(6) After you add all ports listed above, add them to
your PS3 connection when at your Edit firewall
settings page.
(7) You're done! Get on Warhawk and enjoy joining games
immediately!
NOTE: If you still do not understand how to port forward
from this guide, refer to the site above for further
help. Click on Guides at the top of the page and
Port Forwarding Guides by Router. Find your
router and click on PlayStation Network. Follow
the instructions except allow your PS3 to access the
ports, not your computer.
