True, but did you know that DMZ does not (on the majority of routers) open the UDP protocols.

I'll be adding these ports tonight, anything to help with the dire EA sever connections is a plus.

nope i didnt lol ill check my sky router does

[Cringles88]

For people with Home Hub 3, I don't think port forwarding even works on that router, so DMZ is the only choice I think.

How exactly do you use these?

First and foremost, your PS3 requires a Static IP address, basically one that will never be changed by the DHCP settings within your router.

To set a static IP address on your PS3, follow these instructions:

http://portforward.com/networking/staticip-ps3-playstation-3.htm

Once you have a Static IP address, go here and select you Router from the list, then follow the instructions (entering the Port Numbers where required):

Please note that this site has not added PS3 BF3 to the game list, just select any game to get the instructions and use the Port Numbers and Protocols in the OP.

Edit - Also, if you have a Home Hub 3 - forget all of the above, you can't do it.
