I personally would never forward all ports. I want to know which ports are required. I never had issues with the XBOX360 but the PS3 is a different animal with its game dependent backend which is usually(always?) gamespy powered. Some things to try: Make sure you disable UPNP on the PS3. Even though the PS3 should not use it I have experienced issues with letting the PS3 detect it on its own. I force UPNP off on the PS3 network settings. Setup advanced outbound NAT on the monowall for the PS3 to keep outgoing packets from changing the source port(DMZ port feature on other routers/firewalls also do this when they forward all ports). Most games will work just fine without doing this but games like GTA4 will not allow you to join a game reliably without this enabled( You can only host which is the opposite of how network games normally work ). The remote GTA4 servers will try to connect to your firewall/PS3 using a statically defined port and ignore the random port that normally gets sent because of NAT to their master server. This assumes your LAN is 192.168.1.0/24, you have a third interface NATed as a Service network, and your PS3 is at 192.168.1.5. For example if you have 192.168.1.0/24 as your LAN and 192.168.2.0/24 as your Service network on a third interface you would have the below setup with the 'Disable port mapping checked for the 192.168.1.5/32 entry.** Interface Source Destination Target Description WAN 192.168.1.0/24 * * Default outbound NAT WAN 192.168.2.0/24 * * Default outbound NAT WAN 192.168.1.5/32 * * (no portmap) PS3 static src port outbound nat If that doesn't help with the games you are trying to use then these are the ports I have found so far that help when joining and hosting games. Yo will of course also need the firewall rules to allow these along with the NAT entries below which can be autogenerated when creating the NAT rule if you check it at the bottom when creating the NAT rule.
