Changing NAT type from moderate to open for PS3 on...

Hello,
Pretty simple really.
I want to be able to change my NAT type from Moderate to Open whilst playing FIFA 12 on the PS3.
I am using a BT Home Hub 2. I have read various posts about Port Forwarding and DMZ but what is the method that will open the NAT type indefinitely. I have read that it can only be altered temporarily due to the Home Hub updating it's settings periodically and re-enabling the firewall.
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Matt

Can't change NAT type from moderate to open.

Hi, this is my first post.
As the title says, my NAT is always moderate in CoD BO2 on the PC, when i was with Virgin cable it was always open.
It being moderate is causing me disconnection problems, which is a huge PITA in gaming.
Things i have tried in order to correct the problem :
1. I have forwarded all of the correct ports.
2. I have turned off the homehub's firewall.
3. I have given the PC a static IP address (in the correct range, i've worked in IT for over 20 years now).
4. I have turned off the Windows firewall (which was allowing BO2 anyway).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Changing Nat settings from moderate to Open

How do I do this.

I guess you want to do this for using the x-box with the router. For this , access the router from the wired computer using http://192.168.1.1 . The default password is admin
On the web ui , click on the "Applications and Gaming" tab and forward port 88 and 3074 for the ip add of the x-box .
Go to the "setup" tab and change the MTU size to 1365

Hey i have a iphone 4s 64gb but and using the internet share .. how can i change the nat type from strict to open please help me :)

You will have to configure that with your router. Type your router's IP address in the search/domain bar and allow port forwarding.
What is requiring you to have an open NAT? That issue is usually for gaming consoles, etc.

I am trying to change my NAT type from strict to Open so i can play with my friends but i dont know how to do it on my Apple Airport. Help please?!?!

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 AirPort > 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 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 AirPort > 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 AirPort.
AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > 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"

Trying to change NAT connection from moderate NAT connection to an open NAT connection for XBOX LIVE

Hi, I have a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router/WRT160Nv2 and I have been trying to change my NAT connection from a moderate NAT connection to a open NAT connection for my Xbox Live on my Xbox 360. I can sign into my Xbox Live account but it is working on a moderate NAT connection. I have already enabled the UPnP and put in the proper port numbers. After doing that I signed into my Xbox Live on my Xbox 360 and tested my Xbox Live connection and still it says that I a moderate NAT connection. I do not know what elso to do and I would greatly appreciate step by step help from anybody who knows what they are doing. PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!
Thank you

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

What device is upstream from the router? If you have a modem that acts as a router as well, then you might have a double NAT problem. It's a well documented problem and can usually be solved by bridging the modem or configuring the router to work as a switch only.

Where do I call to change my NAT configuration from "Moderate" To "open"?

I have already port forwarded, reset modem for 5 minutes, tried new IP adress, Switched in between wired and wireless, and nothing happens.

#1 What is the brand and model of your modem?
#2 What is the brand and model of your router?

How to change nat type 3 to nat type 2 for Plastation 4?

how to change nat type 3 to nat type 2 for adaptation 4? i am havng a complicated time with this im'm just trying to play online and been at it fotr 3 days i have tried about everuyhing n portforwarding.com i have a Cisco Linksys E1000

Hi ceasar14. I actually found some steps (from a source) that worked for me. I'm not sure if it will work for you. Here are the steps:
1. Get the MAC address of your PS3. To find your MAC address simply go to
Settings > System Settings > System Information
2. Assign a static IP address on your PS3.
3. Access your router's user interface to open a few ports.
4. Under Applications and Gaming > Port Range Forwarding, open the following ports:
TCP: 80, 443, 5223
UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658
5. Once this is done, powercycle your PS3 and the router.
6. Run a connection test and check if it is now on NAT2.
Good luck.

How to change P.O. duplication message type from warning to error for Order

Hi Experts,
I have a requirment to change P.O. duplication message type from warning to error for Order only not OrderTemplate. I can easily change message type in BAdI ISA_BASKET_MSGS, but I can't find the parameter to know if it's Order or OrderTemplate (DocType). If this BAdI is not good way, is there other way? and how to please?
Please advise / help..
Thanks, Jin

Thanks Easwer for your help.
The info for getting status from function is very clear and I followed you instruction and completed the coding in BAdI and tested it successfully .... Thank you very much. I need to learn where I can see the system status of the template, i.e. I1034 (Order Template) or Order or Quotation .....? if I need to filter out Quotation, I can easily do it in the BAdI. Could you please provide me more details?
Thanks again, Jin
Thanks again, Jin

Nope, only 1 xbox can connect to the 2wire unit at one time. Other users have added a router behind the RG to connect more xboxs.

Network Address Translation (NAT) is the ability of a router or firewall to translate a public IP address to a private IP address and vice versa. It adds security to the network by keeping the private IP addresses hidden from the outside world.
Gaming consoles such as Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3, and Wii™ often encounter NAT related issues resulting to poor gaming experience. This problem is resolved by checking the settings on your router which contribute to NAT issues.
This is due to the built-in firewall of the router and to get past this, you will need to open ports on the router. You may do this by either doing Port Forwarding or Port Triggering. Once the ports are successfully opened, the NAT Type issue will change to Open or Moderate thus, making the gaming console work.

Trying to change NAT type to open from strict

I'm trying to change my NAT type on my PS3 from strict to open. My router is a WRT120N and I'm using cable internet. Please help me, and sort of dumb it down so I can understand what you're saying. Thanks a ton!!
fake watches

i think strict NAT type is a double-NAT setup. it would really depend on your modem. what's the brand and model of your modem? does it have routing capabilities? what IP address does it give off?
