Re: How do i open the ports to allow invites to games on...
You need to know the port number first. Go to www.portforward.com and click on Common Ports for more information. To open the port, you need to do it using the router's admin page or setup page.

The PS3 is plug n play and if your router is as well then it will configure the firewall automagically. However, often the older routers just don't play well together. You need to open up ports manually and configure the router and firewall separately for each game you want to play. Each game has specific TCP and UDP ports that need to be opened up to allow access. Its not a trivial exercise. You need to statically assign an I{P address to the PS3 and direct traffic from the router to the PS3 IP address for those games you want through. Each game has the details on which ports to open on the website or in the instructions. Lots of luck
Some times the wireless connection part of the system want allow this. Also how are you connected to the internet. Also check your settings. You may have that function turned off. Also have you ever sent or received messages before?
When you recieve an invite to join a game, goto account management while game is at main menu (dont open it just press triangle when highlighted) log out of psn, then sign back in. then open the invite from friend and join
what kind of game do you all want to play?if you add them as your friend it would make it the invite or chat room better. then all you would have to do is invite them from your friend list.
from the opening menu choose online and then either play now, or goto lobby. If you goto lobby choose lobby, (for starters pick my skill level) and then you can click on someones name and invite to a game, or if the invite you it will say so on the scrolling info bar at the bottom of the screen, thier name will also have a lightning bolt next to it if they invited you. click on them accept invite and try and win. my ID is dannmidge on the ps3 if you want to add me and we can play.
I know what that feels like, you can play with other online people apart from your friends right?
Ok, the problem is the router, now and again it changes its settings to strick... so all you need to do is turn the router off by the plug for 30 seconds and turn it back on.. thats all i will then allow you to connect to your friends, and also tell your friends to do the same.
if you google PS3 router settings you can permantly change them so the port is always open, i never bothered as i didnt know if this would effect my secruity on the router.
it could be your router... can you connect your ps3 directly to your internet connection??ie ) modem like cable modem or DSL.
If it works then your router is not allowing whats called uPNP enabled service... this service opens ports automatically when called upon by certain programs... ie) ps3 connecting to a game.
