    I just recently got Digiweb DSL and I have a Zyxel Prestige 660HW -T1 ADSL router. I was able to open ports no problem for Call of Duty 2 but im really struggling with Fifa. I see in the actual game manual it says that it uses the following ports :

    TCP Ports : 80,443,9980-9989, 10,000 - 10500, 42100 - 42199
    UDP Ports : 3659, 6000, 9570, 10500 - 12500

    Now I opened up all of them except for 10500- 12500 ( Router gives me an error saying they are not valid ports) .. But my firewall status is still 'restrictive' and I cannot connect with my mates.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Enable UPnP and forget about opening ports.

    Fair enough, so had I for a while, but it wasn't working properly until I did a firmware upgrade on the router and made sure UPnP was turned on on the router and PS3, don't have to worry about ports at all. Anyway, enjoy.

    crap i think I jumped the gun..
    What I did previously has given me a NAT 2 connection type (from a NAT 3) and call of duty works great, but i still have a restrictive connection type for Fifa and cant connect to my mates. I have all the ports opened that are mentioned in the manual.. Any ideas? so frustrating
