UPnP issue on PlayStation 3

Question

Hello,

I’m posting my message here because I know the community is quite responsive to little issues...
But I didn’t want to pollute the PC forums...

I have a little problem with my PS3 internet connection...

Whether I connect via cable or Wi-Fi, I always have UPnP unavailable and therefore a NAT type of 3 (which is rather bad)
I can connect to the web browser, the PS3 info, the online store... etc
But it seems to block online gaming for me...

I have an Orange Livebox...

Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance

If you can't manage, despite the tutorial, to set your PS3 to NAT type 2 with UPnP unavailable. I may have the solution, I spent a lot of time finding it and it worked for me, so here's how I proceeded to achieve NAT type 2 without UPnP:

You need to enable your ports
-in TCP:
80;21;443;5223;5523;9293

-in UDP:
3478;3479;3658;9293

(don't forget to set the IP address of the PS3; 192.168.0.X X=put any number)

I hope this will work as I don't want to see people searching even more than I did.

Hello,  I have the same problem. I am connected via Wi-Fi. Two weeks ago it was working fine, and now I have UPnP unavailable and NAT type 3. What can I do, please?

Hello,  I've been having the same problem since an update made yesterday. I found a tutorial to fix it, but I'm currently trying it out.  https://blog.fr.playstation.com/

J'ai un problème avec ma PlayStation 3, je suis connecté au PlayStation Network mais j'ai toujours l'UPnP en type 3 et je n'arrive pas à me connecter au serveur ! Que dois-je faire ? Ensuite, j'essaie de mettre ce que vous me dites de faire, mais après que ma Livebox redémarre, il me demande un nom d'utilisateur avec un mot de passe et ce que je mets ne marche pas. J'ai vraiment un souci, merci de répondre vite.

Hello.  The problem with UPNP isn't really a problem ... whether there is UPNP or not, it works fine !!!  I think you're actually talking about NAT type 3, which can be a nuisance!  For that, you need to open ports from 1 to 65500 on your router towards your PS3 ... Have you made sure to assign a static IP to it? Otherwise, it’s possible that your box has opened the ports towards your PC ...  As for your box, the password it asks for at the beginning is normal; it’s surprising you didn’t have it the first time. If you have an Orange Livebox, by default the username is admin and the password is admin ... If you changed it, good luck; you’ll need to reset it if you can’t find your password ...  Hope that helps you! ;-)

Good evening, I have the same problem and I’m in Belgium. I have the Belgacom TV router. It doesn't even detect the PC, so I'm connected by cable. However, the PlayStation 3 recognizes it but I'm having an issue with UPnP being unavailable and NAT type 3 as well. I am connected, but I can't play online. Can you help me??? Thank you in advance.

Hello,  I can't activate file sharing between my PC and the PS3.... does anyone have a solution...?  config: Windows XP  PC connected via network cable to the Freebox, and the PS3 connected via WiFi to the Freebox   Thank you in advance...

rscosfunk · Answer

Exactly the same problem

I managed to switch to nat type 2, but it hasn't changed anything as long as the upnp is unavailable.
I'm going to try to put less music in my sharing files, maybe that's it, but in any case it is error 4405..

:(

julian · Answer

Good evening, I don't think this is coming from the shared files. I'm not sharing anything at the moment and it's still not working. Don't let that stop you from trying anyway. Have a good evening, Julian.

I don't think there is a connection between your UPnP and your NAT because my UPnP is unavailable and I'm on NAT2 (WiFi connection). Check the port forwarding on your live box.

Bonjour à tous, voilà, je suis chez Noos Numericable, j'ai un routeur NC, j'ai branché ma PlayStation 3, ça a marché le premier jour et le lendemain, je n'arrive plus à jouer en ligne. Je suis en NAT 2. Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider ?

chips · Answer

Re again, I always have the same problem. I connected my Play via Wi-Fi through my router NC from Noos Numericable. It worked for the first two days, and when I want to play online, it searches for players but doesn’t find any. However, I can see my friends online, and when they try to invite me, it works, but at the moment of playing, it disconnects me. I am on NAT type 2 and UPNP is disconnected, with a message saying that my router does not support etc. So my question is, has anyone had the same problem and, if possible, the solution? Thank you.

JBJIB G STILL NOT HAD THE SOLUTION, SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, SO I GAVE UP. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

Problème urgent ! Je suis en type NAT 2 mais j'ai un UPnP indisponible et je n'arrive pas à chatter avec ma caméra. Mais quand je retire ma caméra, je peux aller en chat sans parler, en fait juste regarder. Mais quand je veux parler et qu'on me voit, ça ne marche pas. Celui qui trouve une solution est un boss.

Salut, je n'arrive pas à jouer en ligne avec d'autres personnes. À chaque fois que je rentre dans une partie, les autres n'arrivent pas à jouer avec moi. Que puis-je faire ?

clad95280 · Answer

To make UPnP available, you need to log into the Livebox, go to the advanced router settings, then add the port: UDP:3658 and that's it UPnP available. I hope this helps those who struggled.

fifi1604 · Answer

On my PS3, UPnP is not available, NAT type 2. On my router, I activated UPnP and opened port 3658 in UDP. But my PS3 still doesn't see my PC when I search for multimedia servers. I don't understand. I specify that the network sharing service of the media player is enabled, and I followed this tutorial https://blog.fr.playstation.com/
please help me.

Hello everyone

Does the availability of UPnP depend on the router?
---
I have a router -> Hub (Ancestor of the Switch) -> PS3 (+ dad's PC / mine / etc).
Do you think this configuration could affect "UPnP"?

Thank you =)

Good evening, I am with Numéricable and I would like to play online on my PS3. I have NAT type 2 but my UPnP is not available :( I can connect via Wi-Fi or by cable.
If anyone has a solution to make my UPnP available! so that I can finally play online with my friends :D
Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone, for those who are having issues with the UPnP connection, it's very simple. Follow my lead: go to network settings, then to customize, and follow the instructions given. When you get to UPnP, set it to not activate. Run a connection test and that's it. For me, it worked, now I am NAT type 2 with UPnP disabled and I can play online without any issues.

Hello
at my dad's place (who has a Freebox), I connect and play online without any problem; at my place, with Numericable, I can't! UPNP is not available! I tried to access my modem to configure the ports, using the link and the logins/passwords that are written on the bottom of the modem, but I can't get in; my operating system is Linux... thanks for your help.

Problem solved, in the customized firewall, open the destination IP port towards the PS3 and assign it 1-65535, recreate a new one with UPnP and the same port 1-65535 then set the new value to all then 1-65535, NAT/PAT set PS3 to 1024-65535, do this before enabling UPnP IGD, then after enabling UPnP IGD and restarting, here it is, however my problem is that each connection of the PS3 I have to restart the box with these same settings.

daouni · Answer

At Orange, every time the UPnP is lost, the Livebox is rebooted and the UPnP comes back like magic... for example, my UPnP ports are configured, and unless I reboot the box, the UPnP in the PS3 network settings is not available, and even configured ports without UPnP lead to a series of bugs, even if I'm on NAT 2 without configuring the UPnP ports... I'm on fiber with 280 Mbps download and 47 upload and 6 ms ping, the responsible party is Orange for freeing up the bandwidth; I'm going to promote Freebox because I'm going back to it, Freebox in fastpath mode is pure joy!!!

RedMage · Answer

I see that the question and answers are old.

I didn't read half of the last comments because they were all over the place, but oh well.

I have the same problem, but intermittently. So right there, something isn't working!

Like you, I suspected the router. I've tried everything with my router: port forwarding and other things... but one question kept bothering me; why activate ports when everything was working fine before? But I did it anyway. I even went as far as setting up a DMZ, without success...

What about the modem then?? The Internet service provider?

Then I had an idea. Put my smartphone in direct Wi-Fi mode to connect to the PS3! Just so you know, my Internet service provider at home is Vidéotron, but on my cell, it's Fido!

Result? UPnP unavailable!!!!!... Again!!..

Conclusion? The problem doesn't come from my router, nor my modem, nor my Internet service provider... The problem comes from Sony; that's it!

So one of two things: either it's an intrinsic problem with the console, or a fraudulent choice by Sony to deliberately disrupt UPnP to make us buy their PS4!.. That's my hypothesis, I don't want a lawsuit!

If the problem comes from the console, there's nothing more to be done. The manufacturer's warranty no longer applies, and the legal warranty (in Quebec) would be difficult to obtain in court since it's about new technologies, and thus, case law is almost absent, if not entirely absent.

So, a little genius will tell us here how to get out of this! :-)

Otherwise, we'll live intermittently or buy ourselves a PS4.
