Need help changing NAT type (3 -- 2)

Dear,
I'm new to this forum so forgive me if this is misplaced 
Before I bought my router the NAT type was 2 which was fine. Using this router it's NAT type 3 which makes online matchmaking difficult (PS3).
I would like to change it to NAT type 2 but I don't have any experience with ports and changing settings in a router. So if anyone of you could help me out that would be great! 
Router:
Model number: WRT120N
Version: 1.0
Model name: Wireless-N Home router
Thanks

Try upgrading the firmware of the router first. for instructions, try this
Then, do the port forwarding of port triggering. These links might help you with it:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • (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.

  • 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.

    Hi Matt,

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Need help regarding currency types

    Hi All,
      I need help in understanding the currency types.
    Presently in my system previous guys have designed the currency type = 10, so all the present data is in currency type=10 only,
    Now I need the data for currency type = 30, how can i make this.
    Please give me what are the different ways of achieving this.
    Thanks,
    vinay.

    Hi,
    If you are loading data for currency types then you can use it in Reorts for restrictions, if you are giving any selection in InfPackage then you need to change it for your requirement, else you need to reload the compeletly load the data from ECC.
    Thanks

  • Need help changing the default Save Path

    Hello,
    We are implementing SAP, and will be using Citrix as the source for the GUI.  One of our requirnments are, that we need to change the default "Save Path" that users save documents too.   By default, this is to the C drive, but, we need it set to a different drive (i.e. V: on the citrix server).
    We found this note on SDN (see below) - however, it does not explain how to change or add this registry value?  Is this done in the GUI options, or in regedit?  If in reg-edit, where abouts in the tree does it go?
    Thanks guys, and any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Richard
    (As of SAP GUI 7.20, patch level 4) the REG_EXPAND_SZ registry value InitSaveDir can be used to configure the default path and folder for users to save the reported information in case of an access denial due to security rules. If users change the default path and save the information to an individual location, this new path will be kept as long as the user does not terminate the program. When starting SAP GUI again, users will get the configured default path again to store the reported information, the individual path changes will be lost. If the registry value does not exist, the default directory is the document directory of the SAP GUI.
    By default none of the above registry values exists. In order to change the behavior of the security module, the registry values need to be created and set to the desired value. A not existing registry value means use the default.
    In this doc:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/002444be-7018-2d10-e18e-a8c537198ef6?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true

    Hi,
    "Security rules that are created for a large number of users can be centrally stored on a server by an administrator. The administrator can use the registry values below under the registry key
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
    to configure the behavior of the security module.
    Note: For 64 bit operating systems please use the following registry key
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
    to configure the behavior of the security module."
    You can use regedit for installing this values.

  • I need help changing the account number my daughter uses for payment for her apps and itunes, etc. can anyone talk me through this.

    hi ,
    im just a mom, not very computer savy.....however, I need to change the payment method my daughter uses to purchase things on her ipad due to the fact that the current one is expiring. ie: for such things like songs and games, etc.
    I would appreciate any help as how to do so.
    THanks

    On a computer's iTunes you should be able to edit the payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option (if you are not logged into the account that your daughter is using then Store > Sign menu option to log out of the currently logged in account ; that will then change to a Store > Sign In option so that you can log into her account) and log into the account (enter the account's password and click View Account on the popup)
    And on the account's details page there should be a payment link.
    If you are doing it on your iPad then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (if not logged into her account then log out of your account via the popup that you get and then log in with her account) and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into the account  - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
