  • NAT Type for PS3

    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.

    To change the NAT type on your PS3 you need to open the PS3 ports on your Router.Click here and follow the steps to change the NAT type on your PS3.

  • 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

  • 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... 

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • WRT120N How to open NAT type PS3 !!!!

    Hi i have a WRT120N router.
    it goes alrite in connection wise but for my ps3 my nat type is strict which wont let me join
    in some of my mate's partie's or host a game. And i REALLY wanna fix it by opening my nat
    i've bascially tried everything portforwading but when you save it when portforwarding, it doesn't save like it look's like on the
    video's i have seen on youtube. Uhm iv'e done that DMZ thing which also didnt work.
    iv'e bascially done everything on youtube and other site's
    Im just wondering if it's just the router. Or just the way i have it all setup because my router is setup in
    a different room with the computer which is hooked up with the modem and my ps3 is in my room which is a different room and is just connected threw WiFi my connection on the ps3 is wireless obviously. Should i buy a new router or just ring a linksey person ? .it's getting to that point.
    And yeah i just wanna get it to open HELP PLEASE !!!!!
    GriMxDRiFT3r.

    Hi - I think you are wanting to connect your PS3 with an internet cable and go wired , rather than wireless.  Going online means being connected to the internet which you have done already only your PS3 and you router have done this wirelessly.
    You need to connect your router to your PS3 with a Cat 5 cable - standard ethernet cable, then look at your network settings on your PS3 - set these to a wired connection and choose the auto and default settings through the next pages and see how that works.  It was really straighforward when I set mine up.
    Hope this helps

  • PS3 NAT Type

    Hi there, anyone have a guide how to open up the NAT type on the PS3 with the HH4, on the main settings/test on the PS3 this is type 2 - used to be type 1 with my old provider. When using COD the NAT is set to moderate. this used to be open, before i got the HH4.
    I also set the IP address in the router to static with no success.
    Many thanks

    I'm not sure how to set up my modem in "pure bridge" mode
    Broadband ADSL2+ Modem DM111PSP User Manual - Netgear
    Please refer to item #3 on page 13 and also Page 64 in the User Manual, which explain how to do this.
    You must configure the modem in Bridge Mode or "Modem Mode" first and then configure the AirPort Extreme to connect using PPPoE. Enter your user name, password, etc., in the AirPort Utility setup, but leave the Service Name area completely blank. Connection should be "Always On" and Disconnect if Idle should be "Never".
    You cannot configure the AirPort Exteme to connect using PPPoE unless you first configure the modem in pure bridge mode, or "modem mode".
    This is the only way to obtain "Open NAT" using this modem and the AirPort Extreme.

  • 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.

  • PS3 - Changing NAT Type

    Hi all,
    I have a PS3 and it's not allowing me to connect to certain people or even use the communication feature on it. So currently I have Frontier internet with a Gigaset modem, a WRT160Nv3 Linksys router. Currently my NAT type is 3 and I hope to change it to 1 if possible, 2 would be okay as well.
    Thanks for your time.

    Well here is my Internet IP Address: 192.168.254.1
    I'm not sure what to do with that. 
    Also after looking at the site you gave me, I'm still confused at what to do. This is an e-mail that I got from Sony.
    Thank you for contacting Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) about changing your NAT type. Below are the TCP and UDP (firewall) port numbers you will need to connect online with PlayStation® products.
    IMPORTANT:
    Make sure to enable these TCP/UDP ports in BOTH directions and are entered into the TCP and UDP port fields in your router / modem. Contact your Internet Service Provider or router manufacturer for proper instructions on how to input port information for your network. 
    SCEA Game Servers
    All games published by SCEA (first-party) may use the following ports for communication with SCEA (first-party) game servers:
    TCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223, and 10070 - 10080 
    UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658, and 10070 
    PlayStation®Network
    TCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223 
    UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658 
    Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. 
    Regards,
    Jason F.
    And I don't know what to do with those ports or where to enter them.

  • 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!

    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 80 and End box type in 80, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    2) On the second line in Application box type in DEF, in the start box type in 443 and End box type in 443, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    3) On the third line in Application box type in GHI, in the start box type in 5223 and End box type in 5223, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...

    7) Now assign the given ip address on your PlayStation ip address :- 192.168.1.20, subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0, default gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    8) Also assign the dns addresses on the PlayStation Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
    9) Turn off your modem, router, and PlayStation...Wait for a minute...
    10) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the PlayStation and test it...
    ** Also reduce the MTU and disable the UPnP on the PS3.
