Hello everyone, i am here asking for some kind of help to my problem.
The trouble is like this:
I enter a room ( my region, Europe ) , and i play ok in a room with lots of user's, and still ok in a room with just a few. But the problems appears anyway.
If im inside the room, and someone enters after me , my connection falls down. And it's not like i get disconnected from the server, no. All of a sudden, all other car's seem to lose their pilots, because they just go to the grass, and stay there, like dead.
Here are some technical bits:
The router is a THOMSON TG787 SIP, its software version is 8.2.U.3
I have put my Ps3 on a static IP, assigned a game to it with TCP and UDP ports open : 5223 , 3478 , 3479 and 3658
Somehow, i cant put my ps3 on the DMZ, because the router only let's me put laptop's or desktop's into it :crazy:
I get a NAT type 2, and a High bandwith text on room creation

Its very frustrating to me, to play online since i can´t play for more than one race, and that is only sometimes, when im lucky that the room is not beeing harassed. As far as private room's, the problem remains, but i explained to my friends, and im allways the last guy to go in, and i can play for hours... if someone get's in... down goes OUTLAW---666 :(
 
Did you have the same problem with your router reset to original settings?
 
yes, today i even thought i fixed it, because i disconnected the TV service completly.
But the problem stays the same :(
 
Have you tried removing those ports that you assigned, and INSTEAD just enable UPNP.

Then restart your router/modem + ps3.

I believe there is an option with the ps3 menus to test your connection, it also checks if UPNP is working correctly.

UPNP stops you having to assign ports your self, and should do away with the need of DMZ.
 
that is the way it was, before the problems started. i am very sad i payed for a game that i cant play. it feel like a rip off, and to me i just dont care about my favorite game on ps3 ...
 
What happens when you connect to a room with 'fixed room ownership' checked?
 
same thing... if someone enters.. all the cars die ... and after that i lose connection
 
There is no solution, this problem is random. My PS3 is on DMZ and I can't even enter rooms anymore. The 1.06 update messed up, now we can only wait for PD to rollback the networking code to what it was before.
