Does anybody know which ports Skyrim uses for game updates?

It all worked just fine on the last router, but that crapped out so I've got an AirPort Extreme now and it is NOT playing nice with Skyrim. It's a wired connection. I've static'd the IP, opened up all the ports that Sony specified, bypassed the router entirely by clearing all the old static-IP data and plugging it into the cable box (really, I thought that would work, there's no reason for it NOT to, but it didn't and ARGH). I know it's got a good connection for anything else - I even managed to update PS3 firmware - so the only thing I can think of is that Skyrim is trying to use ports that I haven't cleared. Especially since it once it's been on the updating screen for ages trying to download 1.6 I'll eventually get an 807xxxx error code that says it's a port issue.

Any insight would be appreciated.

That's weird cos its not skyrim , but the PS3 that has the ports so in my opinion its something else. If your PS3 can connect to the internet then any patches should be ok

What about corrupted data, delete skyrim and the patches and leave game saves, re-insert skyrim disk and load everything again, only takes around 15 min. I did it and the rebuild the database just to see if it would speed up skyrim game play.

Hmmm.... hadn't thought of that. Okay, I'll try it.

Nope, still get Error 80710723. It did pretend to be downloading on a veeeery slow connection before killing itself again. Redid the address stuff and connected it to the cable box directly (in case I'd forgotten to reset the address data the last time I did it) and still nothing... though to be fair, I COULD have done it wrong 'cause I've only directly hooked into that thing a few times and that was my home computer so it might've automatically handled settings and such.

Could also be a Bethesda server issue. I'll try again tomorrow.

I think I have seen that error code before. It could be a server error not your system.
Try updating another game, if that works it's not your connection.
