BT HOME-HUB AND FIFA 10

[vtorres]

I have the latest bt home hub 2.0 and fifa, the homehub works great with cod6 and any other game apart from fifa10 whenever trying to connect to a head to head game it fails and also when trying to invite a mate it doesn't connect either but when playing online team play it works perfectly, please help !

if its a BT homehub thingy have you contacted their tech support, i am sure they must have come across this issue before..

[vtorres]

Yeah i have but they said they could not connect to my ps3 so they could not help cavemannige can you help me on the other thread because i think i havent fowarded the ports correctly.

take a screen shot of your port forwarding screen as you currently have it and post it in this thread.. edit the jpg first to remove any personal info that may be visible etc..

make sure your NAT setting is set to open access you can change this inside your router settings

just put your router ip into browser login and itll all be in there

that should solve your problem

who told you to use those settings btw? I do not do internet gaming so i do not know why you would need to have some of these ports forwarded.. do games require you to forward https to your host device?

i.e. 6000 is a tcp port if you want udp use 6001 and 14500 is normally used for trojan access

nope u dont need 2 forward ports ,you can if u want 2 be efficient and have a busy network but generally no
this kid shouldn't have 2 forward ports just to play fifa on ps3

[vtorres]

In the gamer manual it recommends these port setting

TCP : 80, 443, 9980-9989, 14500-14559, 42100

UDP : 9570, 3659, 6000

Have i entered them correctly ?

[vtorres]

I do have to forward the ports as on bt home hub 2.0 theres a firewall and certain ports have to be opened aka the ones i have just shown or else the online features wont work like now.

BTs abit shit then really ive not known any network or router where u have to forward ports in order to play a ps3 game

most people don't know what a port is let alone how to get into there router

ok so forwarding ports works but ur telling me theres no simple fix for this other than forwarding ports ?

if not seems like a big screw up on BTs part

[vtorres]

It is i just want someone to verify if the ports i have entered are entered correctly or is the trigger protocal supposed to be what the original protocal is etc ?
