Cant get open nat type for PS3, it use to be but wont go back

im on Fios with the verizon router. I had the DMZ set to an ip with the PS3 also on it. the nat type was open and all was ok. I dont know how long its been this way (guessing not long because I have sucked at COD this week!) but I noticed im not at moderate. I checked the DMZ and the ip was still there. looked at PS3 and it was empty for some reason, so I put the ip back. ive restarted and tried other IPs andit will not go back to open. ive looked at youtube tutorials to be sure that im not missing anything but the vids seem tobe older because I have more options on the router settings than what the vids show, guess I have newer firmware. Any suggestions?

actually, Open is what you want. you have a lot better preformance online when dealing with fast paced games like COD. you will really notice a difference. generally you just designate an IP in the DMZ settings of the router, then tell the PS3 to only use that IP, and thats it. just seems now on my end thats no longer the case and cant get it to go

  • Should I get a new router to get open NAT type?

    Whenever I play COD Black ops 2 on my xbox 360 my NAT type is strict. I have a centurylink 660 series modem and that is working to its full potential of the bundle we bought from them. I also have an airport extreme (2009). I Know theres all these port forwarding stuff, but whenever I try to do that, my whole network crashes and I have to factory default all of my stuff. So would getting a new router help me? also, I have my airport extreme in bridge mode because It said I have a double NAT and DCHP. So what would be the best solution for getting an open NAT type for Call of Duty on Xbox 360? I also have a MacBook pro (2009).

    Yes, that is what I am doing.  I don't know the setup details for what you want to do, but I am running a MacBook Pro (late 2008), iPad, and a couple of iPhones on wifi through my Airport Extreme base station.  I also run backups to a Time Capsule. 
    The base station is set up to "Create a wireless network" and runs in "DHCP and NAT" mode.  The Time Capsule and two Airport Expresses are set up to "Join a wireless network".  My cable modem (Ubee DVW3201b) runs in bridge mode, connected by cable to the WAN port on the base station.  I have the wifi capability of the modem disabled.  It took me some trial and error to get the cable modem set up properly, but there is a lot of information out on the net.

    My PS3 tells me I have a "Strict" NAT type and it has limited my gameplay. What do I do to make it open? It would really help.

  • Open NAT Type for three xbox 360s on E3000?

    I have three xbox 360s (mine plus my son and my daughter)...I have my settings set to where when myself and my son are on our 360s our NAT type is open...but as soon as my daughter gets on hers the whole thing goes to strict....

    Just a question though:
    Are you experiencing this when you are playing the same game in the same network with your son and daughter?  what are the settings of the other router? 
    have you tried these steps?

  • 2 PS3's connection problems/ How do I get open Nat on 2 PS3s.

    I am having problems with the connection on my ps3's. Me and my brother both have seperate ps3's. We play call of duty mw3 together. When we are both online and playing we have problems. We both are in the same party and we try to join games but we can never join any. When we are both online, One of the ps3's has an Open NAT and the other ps3 has a moderate NAT or a strict NAT. When only one of us is playing everything is fine.
    I want to know how can I make both of them have Open NATs and how can I fix this problem I have. I have an extra router as well. Any help would be great. Thanks!

  • Open nat type for xbox 360 with wrt160n?

    How can I open my nat type on the xbox 360 with my wrt160n?
    Currently it is on moderate..........

    I had this same problem, I had to enable three things. enable UPnP, enable Allow users to make congiguration changes, enable Allow users to disable internet access. You most likely have the first two I mentioned enabled but the last one is the one I didn't have enabled and once I enabled then I had open NAT

  • Trying to get Open NAT Type on 2 Xbox 360's at the same time

    After buying 3 new routers in a row trying to find a compatible router at my last house with Comcast, I finally found one that works then move to a house with Fios. I LOVE the speed... but this modem/router took our nat issue back to square one... obviously we're trying to play CoD: MW3 together, but we're both getting moderate NAT. I read a couple posts on the forums here and nobody could offer up a solution (looks like it has something to do with a NAT table that's too small or something?)
    Anyway, I came up with a potential solution but it's something I've never done before, maybe someone else knows how:
    I'm trying to connect my old dlink router to the actiontec router's internet connection, then have the xbox's connected to the dlink router with dhcp enabled. my theory is to make the actiontec router accept whatever traffic is coming through the dlink router, without knowing what devices are connected to the dlink router.
    in this way the dlink router could potentially control the NAT between the xbox's via UPnP by itself, and the actiontec router would have the xbox live ports forwarded to the dlink router's ip address.
    Am I crazy, could this work? so far I have the dlink router on a seperate subnet (192.168.0.1) while the actiontec is 192.168.1.1. the dlink router can ping machines on the actiontec router's network but not vice versa. also the dlink router cannot access the internet through the actiontec router yet. which is why i'm here. if this could work, can anyone explain how to set it up?

    to get both working, you must enable uPNP on your router. If you are connecting your xboxes to your Actiontec, same rule applies. There is no way to allow two xbox's to connect with OpenNAT without uPNP.
    Your best bet (if you can't move the actiontek behind your D-LINK) is to hook the two xbox's up to the Actiontec (preferable wired, but wifi should work).
    I have 2 xbox's running fine with uPNP enabled. Both have OpenNAT.

  • Why has my ipad mini screen switched off and i cant get it on. It still connects to the computer but wont switch on. ive tried a restoring it. it hasnt helped

    I was watching a video on the internet when my ipad screen suddenly went black. its not responding but still connects to the computer fine. I tried to restore it and it hasnt helped. it says its restored but the screen still wont function. Is it broke for good?

    Is it possible that your battery has died? or that it's gotten too hot?
    It is possible that the screen has died, or it could just be a glitch (my screen stopped responding once, eventually all I needed to do was give it a reset)
    Since your device responds it means its guts are still good.
    Is it still under warranty? If so and if the screen has failed it could qualify for a replacement.

  • Opening NAT settings for Xbox

    So recently I tried opening NAT settings so I could use my Xbox Live more efficiently. Unfortunately, I know nothing about computer networking. Is there anything I can do to get this up and working?

    Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers ... so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live!
    The following web blog does a great job explaining the NAT issues with Xbox Live! Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live! on-line game that you want to play. As such, you basically have two options: 1) Create a DMZ (Apple calls this a Default Host) for the XBox or 2) Configure the AirPort for Port mapping to open the required ports to allow Xbox Live! access ... or 3) Use a compatible router.
    Option 1 - Create a DMZ
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT
    Enable default host at: <Enter the IP Address for the XBox>
    Option 2 - Configure Port Mapping
    The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
    UDP 88
    UDP 3074
    TCP 3074
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
    Click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    Reserve address by: MAC Address
    Click Continue.
    MAC Address: <Enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox or the MAC address of the wireless depending on how you connect the XBox to the network.>
    IPv4 Address: <enter the desired Private IP address>
    Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT > Configure Port Mappings
    Click the "+" (Add) button
    Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    Public UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
    Public TCP Port(s): 3074
    Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
    Private UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
    Private TCP Port(s): 3074
    Click "Continue"

  • Need help opening NAT type to OPEN on a model WRT54GS router for xbox 360

    I have tried from other people's advice and when i test Xbox Live i always get a Moderate NAT type. I am becoming frustrated with how it is not working and I am hoping someone can help me. Please leave advice/suggestions and thank you for your time.

    Open the setup page of the router using 192.168.1.1 by putting the password as admin with username as blank & click the Administration tab & on the same page you will see UPNP.You need to select it as disable in order to help opening NAT type to OPEN.

    Linksys E3200 High-Performance Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router
    the nat type for xbox 360 and ps3, what is it when you set the router up out of the box? are the nat types open moderate or strict

    Hi there. It actually depends if the gaming consoles ports are not blocked by your ISP. Moderate NAT type limits your connection playing online games, Strict does not allow you any connection at all while Open allows you to play with everyone online. Have you had a router before with Open NAT on the gaming consoles? Try to check without the router by going directly to the modem and see if your NAT type is open or strict or moderate. If ever modem is fine and it is the router not working right you can port forward ports on the router. I found these usual ports online, for XBOX live:TCP and UDP ports:  80-88, 3074-3074, 4267-4269. For PS380, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480, 5223, 8080 and UDP: 3478, 3479.
