Hi all, i currently have a ubee DVW3200 router and i have been instructed to do port forwarding do to the fact that when i play my ps3 online that i am getting sever connection time out. I have made a stactic ip address for my ps3 and now i need to do port forwarding on the following ports 80-81,443,3074-3075,3478-3479,3658,5223. The problem is that when i open my router and go to the forwarding section there are two slots i can put the start and end ports, internal or external, i don't know which one i should do? I have a link for the instruction and i don't think it is a commercial website but i'm not 100% sure if it is. Any help is appreciated.

you external router should map the application to the same port number, so <external>:80 should map to <internal>:80 an so on

so it doesn't matter if i put the numbers in the external or internal ports because it will map it to the other? or should i just put the numbers in both? so like under external i put in start port (80) and end port (81), it should then map to the internal? I just want to make sure i don't mess anything up on my router

I'd just put the same number in both,
you can always undo it if it doesn't work

it's important, but if you hardcode your IP address
and it changes, everything breaks. leaving
it blank may work, not sure.
