Mw3 nat type problem pc

Hello i have mw3 for the pc and it shows strict nat type.
I have a huawei modem and a cisco router.
I am connected to the router with a cable but i have a laptop with wireless (thats why i use the router).
I tried port forwoarding but it didnt solve my problem.
Can you please tell me how to get my nat type to open or even to moderete.

A known issue with Linksys routers is the NAT Type 3 or anything related to dropping of Internet connectivity during play time. 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.

NAT Type 2 but still strict in MW3 - Help please!!

So here's my dilemma. I've been searching for 2 days now how to get an open NAT type in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
I've got a BT HomeHub 2. Simply connecting wirelessly to the network grants me a NAT Type 2, which I understand is supposed to be moderate, and therefore open to a certain extent ... But in-game is says that I have a Strict NAT type and won't let me connect to friends' parties.
I've forwarded all sorts of ports as instructed to do so by various online blogs, that didn't work, neither did portforwarding's website.
I've tried using a static ip and enabling DMZ on the hub, but that wouldn't even allow my PS3 to connect to the router
I've even tried using PPPoE, entering some random's email and password into the boxes as I saw on youtube.
BT's solution is a load of rubbish ... "Try resetting the modem and select static ip in the HH settings".
Has anyone else come across this problem of NAT type 2 being strict on MW3, and have you managed to overcome it??
I'm not a total gimp when it comes to fiddling with computer settings but I can't work this one out.
Thanks

Exact same problem here,
Was the above successful and has it remained open?
I was able to quick fix my Nat type by simply loading the multiplayer on cod4 which must open up the required ports but even that is more complicated with the game not loading now at all unless you disable your router (another kettle of fish).
The strict Nat doesn't seem to be as bad lag wise so that's something the developers have fixed with the last MW3 update, however the lack of ability to connect to your friends with a million dollar multiplayer such as MW3 is quite frankly unacceptable and completely defeats the object of such games.
I've tried forwarding ports and all the other methods to no avail, I've yet to try MW2 too see if that will quick fix the problem.
But please let us know if your forwarded ports are still working with an open nat, and if you can join / hear friends.
Thanks in advance,
Otherwise I'm going to try some other routers as I have plenty of friends with different set ups playing fine with open Nat, that being said there are just as many with different providers and routers suffering the same dilemma, this is certainly not just a home hub issue although if I get another router to work I will certainly enjoy throwing the hh out the window...

Airport Express PS3 Nat type 3 problem

Recently I bought a Playstation 3. I have succesfully created a connection using the airport express connected to my speedtouch modem. The problem is that when I do an internet connection test on my PS3, it says that UPnP is unavailable and NAT type is 3. This is a major problem because I can't join chats or games, how can I get NAT type 2? It would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance...

I've done that already, foward the ports I mean. Right now I have my PS3 under DMZ and I'm still getting NAT type 3. Since it wouldn't hurt to try this again (forwarding the ports) I will, meanwhile I have a question: do I need to disable UPnP on both the router and the PS3 or leave enabled? Also, does it hurt to enter the PS3's ip address in the DCHP reservation or do I need to leave it outside?

How to change the NAT type to Open on a Imac using bridged connections

Hey everyone I have a problem. I play xbox live with my friends and i just moved and dont have a wireless adapter anymore. so i have bridged connections with my imac and xbox via ethernet. It works perfectly, but the only problem is that when i connect it say that my NAT type is strict. To play with all my friends i need a open NAT type. Does anyone know how to make the NAT type on the Imac open. And i do have a D-link router model DIR-625. When i called D-link they said to port forward, i did and it still didnt work, they said it must be the fire wall on the mac, microsoft said the same thing, that it might be the fire wall. I checked the fire wall and it said "All Incoming connections are allowed".
I would really much appreciate it if someone helped me. Thank you!

Yes, most likely. Microsoft has provided a list of XBox LIVE!-compatible routers. Since the OS X Internet Sharing feature is limited, there is no way to configure port mapping or placing the XBox in a DMZ with it. Typically, you either use a compatible router or configure port mapping/DMZ for non-compatible routers.

WRT54G with PS3 NAT TYPE 3 needs to be changed!

Hi all,
I've been trying to change my Nat type from a 3 to a 2. I have a ps3 20gig (sadly) that is directly connected to my laptop (wired). My laptop has wifi and I'm able
to play games online. The only problem is that I'm not able to invite friends into my party or host any games for Call of Duty 4. My ps3 is set at Nat Type 3
and I think that's the problem here. I have a Linksys WRT54G router and UPnP is enabled on it. My laptop has UPnP enabled as well. I've tried everything I could
find, but there's not much info for someone who has a setup like me.
I setup a static ip for the ps3 on my laptop, and the only ip that will work is 192.168.0.10.
Here is my ipconfig:

Your WRT54G is connected to another router (maybe your modem?) which has IP address 192.168.2.1. To get that working you have to configure port forwarding on 192.168.2.1 and on the WRT54G at 192.168.1.1. UPnP won't help you here because UPnP will only configure the WRT but not the router to which the WRT is connected to. Thus you have to set explicit port forwardings (don't know which ones the PS3 requires).
Otherwise consider setting up the WRT as access point only like this.
Or find out how to set the modem into bridge mode (i.e. turn off the router in the modem). After that you have to configure the router for your internet connection (usually PPPoE for DSL or DHCP for cable). This way you have the WRT54G directly connected to the internet.

How to get nat type 1 with airport extreme and ps3?

I use airport extreme as my default router. I have my ps3 connected to a separate airport in a different room. I can only get nat type 2 and want to get nat type 1 as I can barely connect to any hosts online.

NAT type 1 is when you connect your PS3 directly to your modem with no router in between. The problem with this is that there will be no way to share your internet connections with other devices. NAT type 2 is where you have a router in between your modem and your PS3, and NAT type 3 is where you have some or all needed ports blocked which is where you would have issues.
NAT type 2 is a correct way for your PS3 to work, and your wireless connection strength may be the reason for connection issues.

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.

How to open a E2000 Nat type...

For Xbox 360? currently, whether wired or wireless, my Xbox 360's NAT type is strict, and I am unable to do anything online whatsoever. Is there anyways to set up an exception, or anything that can open my Xbox's connection to my router so I can actually use it online? I just had a Cisco live support member leave a chat session after I stated my problem, I would really like some help with this.

Found this link. Give this a whirl.

Cisco Linksys EA6500 Smart Wi-Fi Router AC1750 (STRICT NAT TYPE XBOX 360)

Hi All,
I have 2 kids. Each with his/her own xbox. One Xbox gets an open NAT Type OPEN and the 2nd Xbox gets a STRICT NAT type. I had the same issue with the other Cisco router I had, but thought an upgrade might fix the problem. Plugged up new router last night, same dang issue. Why can't 2 Xbox gaming systems have an open NAT type at once with these routers? Anyone have any suggestions, I am all ears.
Ready to try another router (Netgear, D-Link)
Thanks

If I am not mistaken, theoritically one router is only applicable with one xbox. The reason for that is because you need to use or open ports on your router and you can only use one port for one ip address. What you can try though is to leave the working xbox the way it was setup and then set DMZ on your router using either the 2nd xbox's ip address or mac address.

PS4 Party Chat NAT Type Issues

Anyone else completely irritated and annoyed by the inability to party chat because of NAT Type? This is a ridiculous error I thought they'd fix in the next patch, turns out not. I have been unable to chat with anyone because of my NAT Type. I can play online and chat online just fine but party chat doesn't work. My NAT is Type 2. I don't want to hear I need to set up a static IP and DMZ blah blah blah. That stuff is way to complicated and shouldn't be necessary if I or any PS user should want to chat in a party. I had absolutely no issues on my xbox 360 chatting in a party and I'm on the same modem and internet router as it was. I bought a PS4 to play and chat with friends and so far I haven't been able to chat with my friends at all. It's very irritating and annoying and I would like PSN to do something about it. A simple patch or anything to fix it, instead of being lazy and telling their 13 year old customers they have to set up static IP's and other ridiculous stuff. Please comment if you are having the same issues and hopefully Sony or PSN will see this and do something about it. I paid 400$ for a machine that requires me to hack into my own router in order to chat... Ridiculous.
Party Chat NAT Type Issues on PS4
This issue has been reported to the network team who are investigating the cause of the problem. As a temporary fix you can normally fix the NAT type error by on or more users leaving and re-joining the party.

I draw your attention to the last paragraph where it states a NAT Type 2 connection means its connected correctly & optimal for gaming
PS4 NAT Types:
In the network settings of the PS4, it uses 3 different NAT types to classify how the PS4 is connected to the Internet:
Type 1: The PS4 is sitting directly on the Internet with a public IP address. This setup doesn’t require NAT or inbound port forwarding and is used in scenarios where the PS4 is the only device wanting to use the Internet connection. This isn’t that common as most users share their Internet connection with other devices in their home.
Type 2: This is the most common and ideal type where the PS4 is sitting behind a RG that is performing NAT. The PS4 will have a private IP address which is translated to a private or public IP address by the RG.
Type 3: This usually implies you have a problem in the way the PS4 is accessing the Internet. This may be caused by a firewall or port restrictions. This isn’t ideal and will result in a sub-optimal gaming experience.
The difference between a Type 2 and Type 1 NAT is usually physical and can’t be changed by settings alone. If you have a Type 2 or higher NAT type then you are connected correctly and can have an optimal gaming experience.

NAT TYPE: TYPE 3 ERROR

I have a WRT160 RM version 2. I cannot play games on my playstation 3 because I get a Nat Type: Type 3 message. I thought it was my playstation 3, however tech support at Sony told me that it was a router problem. He states that the router is restricting game information and it the router settings need to be changed to Type 2, or the firmware needs updating. Could anyone please give me information on how to do this? I know my way around a computer well, but I have never updated router settings. Detailed instructions would be much appreciated.

Who is your ISP?
To Make NAT Type 2 on your PS3, You need to open the Ports on your Router for PS3. Follow the steps below to change the settings on your Router as well as on your PS3.

NAT type, wrt45g

Can anyone help me change the nat type on my ps3? im not quite sure what settings to change with the router, and im pretty sure thats the problem since my old belkin router was type 2.

I found this link on the forum which will guide to open the NAT for PS3.
You also want to upgrade the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router and go to Administration tab. Click on firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.

I want nat type 1 or open on ps3 and xbox360

i have fios on a hp vista home preimem my router is brand westtell issued by verison i have made a staic ip address this didnt help i have open on 360 but not ps3 it does not make sense also i want to netowork all three bu my pc does not see them to share files have turned off firewalls and tryed with them on any help plz

The easiest way to get open NAT on both consoles is to enable UPnP on your router.
On a PS3, it is impossible to get NAT Type 1 while connected through a router. You can only get NAT Type 1 if you are connected directly to the internet (ie. if your PS3 is connected directly to the Verizon box on the side of your house.)
If you are connected to a router, NAT Type 2 is the best you can get, and you will have no problem playing online with that status. You should only be worried if you are getting NAT Type 3. There is no such thing as "Open NAT" on PS3.
To properly enable network sharing, make sure you are listed as being in a Home network (as opposed to a Public or Work network) on your PC. If you have anything other than the standard Windows Firewall installed, you are going to have to manually create exceptions for Windows Media Sharing in your firewall-you can't just disable the firewall entirely.
Both consoles should automatically see your PC, but you may also have to manually grant them permission from your PC to access the shared media.
