Hi, I require help.

I play Resistance 2 online, which is a PS3 online game OWNED by Sony.

My SuperHub is the main router and I cannot play Resistance 2 online at all. I get a lot of "establishing connection to game server timed out" or "timed out" errors. However, if I try to join a game room (created by another user) I can get into it after 50 tries or so, which is so bad and not normal.

However, if I use my laptop as the router (SuperHub being modem), I can play Resistance 2 online without any problem.

And the weird thing is that this problem never happened when I was on R35 or below.

I've sniffed the Resistance 2 game's online DNS / IP via Wireshark:

DNS 98 Standard query 0xb117 A resistance2-prod.igloo.online.scea.com
DNS 114 Standard query response 0xb117 A 160.33.167.33

Hostname being resistance2-prod.igloo.online.scea.com and one of its IP address being 160.33.167.33 (one of the game servers).

Trace complete.

There are similar IP addresses provided by the hostname and I've done tests on all of them and I was returned with the same errors (Destination net unreachable) and (request timed out).

The game servers are definitely not down. A lot of people still play Resistance 2 online without any problem. Resistance 2 online is owned by Sony.... and Sony is a big company, so it's very, very unlikely for one of thier Game servers to be down intentionally.

So, how can I fix this? And of course I've told Virgim Media about it but they don't know what the **** am I talking about. -_______-

Thanks in advance!

P.S This issue never happened when I was on R35 or below. After R36, this problem exists.

P.S.S No, I don't want to buy a 2nd router or use my Laptop as the 2nd router for many reasons. I love my Superhub, it's just that I'm having only one issue and this is it.

P.S.S.S I've already tried different settings in the Superhub's router page, turning off Firewalls, DMZ'ing the PS3 and port forward the **** out of it. Turning off UPDP. I've also tried different combinations of settings. All didn't fix the problem. But then again, I could be missing something.
