Thought I'd ask the networking guru's here, something thats puzzled me for a while and I can't find a satisfactory answer online
If I've got two consoles, lets say PS4 and PS3, they both use some communal ports, and some other ports for specific games, how do you set up a router to cater for both of them given you can only set up one port->static IP allocation in the router?
eg.
Port 80, TCP&UDP, PS4 (IP 192.168.0.4)
Port 443, TCP&UDP, PS4 (IP 192.168.0.4)
Port 3678, UDP, PS3 (IP 192.168.0.3)
The PS3 also uses Port 80 and 443, but presumably the router is forward all traffic on those ports to the PS4?
How are you meant to configure it to support two consoles on the same network?
I already have my Vita in the DMZ and it uses similar ports to connect to PSN also.
Hey Spelk, what type of router are you using? (linksys, netgear, model #?). Is this the wireless router?
Sorry, I can't say too much about consoles, as I haven't had one in a long time (I need to get with the times!). I think other console owners here might have better say in that.
I did look a bit online about this, and I think you should be able to configure the router and your consoles to have two static IP's for two different machines, and then specify the port settings for each.
Browse through this thread, it looks like people have posted some solutions to a similar issue (they were describing two PS3's, whereas you have a PS3 & PS4).
