    Problems Connecting to EA Online PS2 Games

    I've tried using the online features of both FIFA 2004 and SSX3 and seem to be having limited success.

    All the other PS2 online titles I've tried (including Twisted Metal Black Online and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4) connect without any problems, yet whenever I try to use the EA games I can get to the lobby fine but as soon as I try to connect with the other player I get a connection failed notice. This happens about 95% of the time. The other 5 % the game has started OK but these are few and far between.

    Looking at the information available it mentions something about the Router firewall cold be causing the problems. It mentions something about freeing up the 'UDP Port 3658' via your router settings.

    I have to admit this means nothing to me. The router I have is a Belkin Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router. Is this UDP 3658 thing what's causing the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it (step by step would be great as my knowledge on these things is limited).

    Thanks
Working...
