NAT type on pc (for mw2)

So for ages now ive been trying to set my NAT type to open for MW2 on my PC, however, all hte guides I find either dont work, or only work for ps3/xbox. Some info about my setup: upnp is ON. DMZ is OF. Firewal is ON. So if anyone knows an easy way to permanantly set the NAT type to open, it would be much appretciated.

I could never get anything less than NAT type 2 when using the home hubs. I switched to a Netgear and now have no issues at all.

(PS3)Changing NAT TYPE to Open for router WRT150N

I need help chaning the NAT Type to open because I can't play with some of my friends on Playstation. Tell me how please
loans personal

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.
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.
Here is the link which resolve the issue: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=2902de6218ed4dc1a4c595595ca1f60a_Resolving_NAT_Typ...

HT204023 Xbox keeps telling me to change it's Nat type to open for them to run properly together, how do I do that?

When using iphone 5 as hotspot for Xbox 360, how do I change Nat

When I manually download and install I get the message I already have a later version.
Doublechecking before proceeding. Do you also get that message if you try to install the most recent version of Bonjour?
(There's a few different possibilities afoot relating to damaged installation configuration information for Bonjour on the PC here ... fingers crossed, the answer to my question will help narrow down the possibilities.)

WRT160N v2 Router NAT type

I am attempting to set the NAT type to OPEN for xbox live, for the xbox 360, on my WRT160N v2 wireless router, however, my xbox is hardwired to the router (since I dont have a wireless adapter for the 360). I cannot figure out how to change the NAT type in the online wireless setup (I was able to enable UPnP, but couldnt find the NAT type).

Nat Type question for PS3 (wrt610N)

I have the wrt610N on cable internet and am playing Modern Warefare 2 on the PS3. Since day 1 I have had a Type 2 Nat type according to the PS3's internet connection test. Modern Warfare 2 has a Nat Type indicator on the lobby screen and mine has always said Moderate.
Well, after a little research, I forwarded my ports and presto, it said my NAt type was open. Yesterday I accidently unplugged the router and now my lobby screen is saying moderate again. My ports are still forwarded, so I have no idea what is going on. Any ideas?
Someone suggested that I can just go in the router and set it to open, but this does not sound right. Also, I was reading some posts on here and noticed people mentioning something about home network defender in the management tab. I have no such option. Anyone know why?
Solved!

How to set NAT Type in Airport Express for PS3

I just replaced my existing WiFi router with a Airport Express, using the same log in information, and all other devices includin iPhone and laptop can get on line w/o problem, but my PS3 can not seems to log in for on-line game, and when I check the internet connection settings, it show NAT type failed due to timeout error. I have read some articles about the need to change NAT Type from 3 to 2 or something like that, how can not find in Airport Utilities on how to open up NAT to change its type? anyone can help? Appreciate.

Unfortunately there are no specific NAT settings on the AirPort routers to change the NAT type. On the AirPorts you either have NAT enabled or disabled. Other options would be to use either a DMZ or open specific ports on the AirPort's NAT firewall to allow your PS3 to gain full access to PS3's on-line gaming service.

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

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.

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.

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
