Hi all,

NAU is currently fighting repeated blocks from Sony on our residence hall 
network IP addresses. There are a number of PAT'd devices behind these IPs, and 
Sony has so far only provided us with timestamps (no port information for us to 
do a PAT lookup). Each time, we get a notification to our [email protected] inbox, 
and when we ask them to remove the block they have done so (so far). Sony 
claims they are seeing "account hacking" activity coming from the blocked IPs, 
but we're starting to believe it may just be a large number of devices behind a 
few IPs.


This is the first semester we've seen this issue, but it's getting frustrating 
as students are unable to use their PlayStations on ResNet when the blocks are 
in place. Has anyone else had this experience? Any tips or tricks in 
identifying the issue or working with Sony to raise the "allowed traffic" from 
NAT/PAT Pools?


Thanks in advance!

Bryan
