Max is about 91 meters for Ethernet so that shouldnt be a problem for connectivity. At half a foot ball field though, Im curious what your set up is. That would explain the lack of signal and connection rate. It feels like more and more people are using the DGL for buisness applications.

I'm having a problem getting my PS3 to connect to the playstation network. Every time I do a connection test it fails at PSN.  I have a static IP for the PS3, and have it on DMZ, but I keep getting this [INFO] message in the log.
Blocked outgoing ICMP packet (ICMP type 3) from (PS3 IP) to (array of PSN IPs)
I understand what the message means but no idea why even with it in DMZ that it gets blocked.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

I would review the link and see if this helps:
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=13109.0

Also review the Gaming and Gamefuel sticky at the top of this forum for additional info. You don't have to use the DMZ and should need to. Once the IP is reserved and GameFuel is setup, you should be good to go. Lets us know how it goes.

I've gone through it before, and have just tried it again. Although the ICMP log is gone, still no connection with PSN, which seems very odd.

(SID): Wireless system with MAC address (PS3 MAC) secured and linked
(SID): Wireless system with MAC address (PS3 MAC) associated

These are the only logs for the PS3 I receive now.

My current setup is
PS3 has DHCP reservation
Game fuel has rule with PS3 priority 1, covers entire remote IP range, and protocol/port range is any
Ports redirected in Gaming to PS3; TCP: 80, 443, 5223 - and UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658 (tried with and with out this)

Thanks

What happen if you use 0 and 65535 on the ports? This i what I'm using for XBL. Also wha is your Firewall gettings set too? I recommend trying EndPoint Independent for both UDP and TCP.

[Trikein]

ICMP has nothing to do with traffic. Its mostly used for testing of the network. Like echo location for computers. There is a glitch with D-link and ICMP though, but to my knowledge it has no effect on gaming.

I am curios though what you mean by "entire remote IP range". Why do you even have Game fuel rules on? Game fuel only increases the priority certian traffic has on the network in regards to other traffic. Think of it like the Speedpass you put on your car for toll boothes? It does nothing to increase the speed of the car overall. It can be useful if you have 3-4 people using the internet at the same time, but your having a problem with connecting at all. Plus, is this wireless or wired? I am getting this confused with the OP

Tried 0-65535, still didn't work. I've already put the TCP/UDP on EndPoint Independent, everything else in Firewall is default.

As far as the remote IP range, I mean 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255. Since it seems kinda glitchy I'm pretty much looking for working settings in order to get mine working and see where I can go from that. Prime example is haveing my PS3 on DMZ and it not connecting with PSN, since it can connect to the web but not PSN the only explanation I can think of is blocked ports. It's working off wireless.
Thanks

Send a PM to LookInToMyEyes or Trikein  . I knowthey have a PS3 I think and has theirs working great.

[Trikein]

Mine is working great too. To be honest though, there isn't much that you should have to do. The router has UPnP, which should take care of most of the port issues. I have connected with all combonations of the firewall, Gamefuel on and off, Normal and advanced DNS, etc. I have connected to the PSN when at stock, out of the box. Most of the advanced configure is for Game types, performance, game Mic, and so on.

What error do you get when you can't connect? Have you tried connecting direct to the modem? Can you connect then? Have you tried resetting everything to default?  Just feels like where over thinking this one.

Well, the PS3 pretty much says check my network connection, and the 4500 doesn't tell me much. I'm replacing an old linksys that the PS3 has worked fine with for over a year. I've done the default settings 3x now, i've tried with firmware straight out of the box, then tried with updated 1.22NA. It's very strange I cant think of a reason for this to be happening. I'm probably going to return it, i've been trying to fix it for a week now.

[Trikein]

Reseting router to factory and trying right now. Please standby

Yup, Reset to factory running 1.22NA. Wired connection. Did a "Easy" configure of Internet Connection settings with the fallowing results.

Obtain IP                            Succeeded
Internet Connection              Succeeded
Playstation Network              Succeeded
UPnP                                  Available
NAT Type                            Type 2
Connection Speed(Download)  18.1Mbps
Connection Speed(Upload)      4.3Mbps

Did a manual config to do wireless test too, all with default settings, and got the same results with a little bit slower speeds. So have you tried bypassing the router and going direct into the modem? If that works, have you tried using all default settings on the PS3? If PS3 won't even connect direct to modem with default settings, when PC will, call Sony. If it won't on factory standard settings, and default settings on router, on a wired connection to router, but will to the modem, RMA that bad boy. Good luck.

Hey Guys.
       Trikein is right game fuel won't solve the issues it can only improve speed over other devices. I never really like helping people who are on wireless because of this. Most people that use the ps3 over wireless seems to encounter a lot of issues. Only thing I got to say is try to factory reset your router try connecting the ps3 directly to the modem and see what you get. Basically what Trikein said. Good luck. Always remember gaming is always better via Ethernet cable. Trikein whats your PSN?...

Hmm..considering I have the name Trikein on about 16 domains...take a wild guess? ::grin::

[insaina]

Thanks for the help, but I've given up on it. I've reset again and just put in my username and pass for my ISP, still wouldn't connect to PSN. I've packed it up to return for refund and will probably get the E3000 from cisco. It seems like it has most of the same functions as the 4500. Anyways, again thanks for the help!

[Trikein]

Wait, so this is DSL with PPPoE? That changes everything, and you never mentioned this. By default, the router is DHCP. Not only does this mean the router has to be specifically configured, but so does the PS3 and the modem. I can help if you want, or not. Either way, your going to bump into the same problems with any router.  Just let me know, but I make no promises, since a wireless connection through a router with PPPoE to a DSL modem/router AG is some pretty tricky stuff. Its hard to troubleshoot remotely, as your finding out.

And linksys..really? Well their not bad if you remove all traces of software and firmware...or basically everything that makes it a linksys. The CD should make the set up easier though, just stay miles away from their Network "Magic".
