Anyone running two PS3's?
Thanks 
For the moment I have just UPNP both and give them statics and managed to get nat2 on both. The only problem I have is the one on wireless gets signed out from the PSN so due to me not knowing whether it's sony or router related will have to come back to that after further investigation.
I hope someone with a bit more networking experience spots this post and hopefully sheds some light on it, UPNP seems to be an easier option but does come with some risk. Fortunately my family PC is a linux system and doesn't really get affected by trojans and the like as it needs extra work to install and I don't put anything on their unless it came from the secure repository. Only thing at risk is my laptop which I know enough whether to allow access to anything.
That's brings us back to upnp as the solution. The way I see it if I had two PC's in my house both running some application that needed ports open they would run albeit slower. Why PSN logs you out when two are knocked on is a mystery. There are a lot of solutions out there that seem to have an answer but from a networking point of view shouldn't in theory work
nothing worse than a post saying I have two plugged in and it works fine TRY SHARING YOUR SETTINGS and stop wasting post space 
There are a lot of answers referring to DMZ on and forward ports to the other, this is how my BT2700 was set up and it worked. I don't know why, from what I gather from networking sites it would cause a conflict between the two. I have had people who had this set up and didn't work which only worked when enabling UPNP and vice versa so it seems the router itself plays a big part on whether it's going to work or not.
Some suggestions that seem a bit more realistic are getting a switch to become the router for one ps3, this would involve buying another public ip. Looking at PN's policy extra public ip's are not available with the gaming pro account and would also have the expense of the switch itself.
Another one is putting the router itself into the DMZ in effect bypassing the firewall and opening all ports and turning you router into pretty much a modem. Sounds risky and not knowing that much about networking not sure how effective this would be. Would be good to hear from the networking legends amongst us. This is not PS3 specific and seems to affect all consoles, with xmas coming up and people getting 2nd consoles for family members there should be a definite answer somewhere to this common problem of having multiple consoles on one router.
Or sony should get there fingers out and give multiple ports that can be used for the PSN so people can forward multiple machines without making peoples network vulnerable with UPNP. There are routers you can enable UPNP on certain devices but the Thomson isn't one of them.
