PS3 and NAT 2

I am having a nightmare of a time trying to get my PS3 into NAT 2. My PS3 is wired to my AEBS, and my AEBS runs to the motorola DSL modem. I have tried the equivalent of putting the PS3 into a DMZ on the airport, and I have tried opening all the proper ports. Each and everytime it still says I am in NAT 3.
Is there a tutorial or a step by step user's guide around here of how to get your PS3 into NAT 2 using an AEBS??

  • WRT54GS Router and NAT 3 PS3 Problems

    Ok. I need a lot of help. And yes. I used the search option prior to posting this topic and none of it answered my questions. I did try a few tips I saw firsthand at these topics but it still didn't solve my Nat 3 Problem. Heres my ps3s setup basically. Set the MTU to 1365, in the firewall settings unchecked Block Anonymous Internet Requests, In the Applications and Gaming tab I put my PS3s IP address in the DMZ. Tested my connection on my PS3 and the same NAT 3. I want to **bleep** a brick now because I have been frustrated by this. Googling didn't help. So I am hoping you guys can help me figure this out. FYI: I am changing this setting through the LAN connected from my PC to the router and I have my PS3 wired to the router also. With this NAT 3 problem my downloads are slow as hell and although I haven't tested online gaming yet this will be a huge factor in the lag.

    Try forwarding ports TCP: 80, 443, 5223 UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658 on the rotuer setup page ... See if it works ...

  • Linksys E2000 (2 Xbox 360's and 1 PS3) Open Nat Problem

    Hi everyone,
    I recently bought the Linksys E2000 for my house so i could enjoy wireless internet. The problem is i have two Xbox 360s which one is wired and the other wireless. It seems that i can't have both Xboxs with OPEN NAT and whichever one connects to the router first is the one to have OPEN NAT no matter what. This leaves the other Xbox with MODERATE or STRICT. Is there a way to have both open at the same time? If anybody knows help would be appreciated! Thanks
    **I have a PS3 also connected wirelessly, but that one is always OPEN. Didn't know if that would affect my PS3's NAT if i were to change the setting on my router.

    Here's a checklist. Got it here.

  • 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,

    And I don't know what to do with those ports or where to enter them.

  • PS3 & Xbox NAT EA4500

    Hello, I'd like to get some assistance with an NAT issue my family is having. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. 
    We recently upgraded to the linksys ea4500 router. My brother plays call of duty on the PS3 and I play call of duty on the Xbox. The issue is we cannot figure out how to have open NAT on both consoles at the same time. I've read multiple support guides, but they don't seem to help. I'm pretty sure it's possible since i've gotten both to be open after reseting the router. The problem is it doesn't stay open on both for very long. We can get one to be open, while the other is stuck on moderate.
    We've tried port range forwarding and port range triggering. By default, the PS3 is open. To get the Xbox to open, i disable 'filter anonymous requests' in the security settings, and disable UPnP. (With UPnP enabled, the is ps3 is open & xbox is moderate, with it off, xbox is open and ps3 is moderate) Is there a way around this? A simple explaintion would be best, since I'm not familiar with proper internet terms. Both consoles are wired and have static IPs This is the guide I followed for xbox - http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=417986e6f9184b728cfa3...

    Hi,
          I wanted to know what firmware are you using for your router (EA4500),is it the Classic Cisco Firmware or It's the Linksys SMART Wifi firmware? I would advised you to use the Linskys Smart Wifi firmware & make sure it is the latest version. Click this link to download it: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/EA4500

  • Time capsule, PS3 in NAT type 3

    Hi Everyone,
    I understand this has been asked many times on many forums, so my apologies here.
    I have a BT Home Hub 2.0 (wireless disabled) as my modem, hooked up to my time capsule which is acting as the router (WIFI). I have my PS3 connected wirelessly to the network configured with my Time Capsule.
    Playing GT5, i cant seem to get my PS3 off NAT type 3.
    Can anybody please advise me on how to solve this??
    Many thanks!

    I have a BT Home Hub 2.0 (wireless disabled)
    Even through you disabled the wireless function, the Home Hub is very likely still providing NAT services for the entire network.
    my time capsule which is acting as the router (WIFI
    If you have the Time Capsule configured as a router...as you say....then it is also providing NAT services.
    You may have an error known as Double NAT on your network. To check and see if that might be the case....
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click directly on the word Status (2nd line on the summary page)
    Are there any messages there about NAT?

  • PS3 and WRT110

    Hello,
    I am having multiple issues getting my PS3 connected to my Linksys WRT110 wireless router.  I have a signal strength of 90% on my PS3 and my computers connect just fine.  I have WPA (AES) security on it.  My PS3 always times out at obtaining an ip address, more specifically at the "exchanging key information" part. (no I am not entering in the password wrong)  However, once I changed my router to WEP or no security at all it connected kind of ok (will explain later).  What's the deal here, is there a setting I am missing?
    Also, expanding on what connecting "kind of ok" means.  Well I get a NAT 3 which it says limits the online features I can use.  I tried putting the PS3 into a DMZ, tried opening some ports, and tried turning off any security feature I could find with no luck.  Any suggestions here?  Could there be a security setting in my modem by default that is causing this and not my router?
    I appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks!

    Who is your ISP...?
    If your ISP is DSL then,you need to convert the Modem into the bridge mode.Once done then,configure the router with PPPoE settings and open the required ports on the router for PS3.
    If the others devices and computes are connect to the router with WPA enable then,you have to check the settings of the adapter on PS3.

  • Does time capsule give wifi to my ps3 and wii

    I just got a macbook air and need a new router, so the time capsule seems like a good fit. We already have ipads, and iphones in my household, but my kids also have dell laptops, a ps3 and a wii. OK, I know that the time capsule can work with the non apple laptops if they are configured (I think) but what I'm totally not sure of is can my ps3 and wii use it for wifi? and please correct if I'm misunderstanding whether or not the dell's are compatible. Thanks for all help

    There is no issue in getting wifi generally.. although some devices have issues.. it is the nature of wireless that not everything works together.. the technology is still in voodoo phase.
    But the TC use NAT-PMP which is the Apple auto port opening protocol.. whereas the rest of the known world uses the Microsoft Upnp method. That means playing online games will be an issue if it requires ports opened.. you will need to do it manually.. which is a pain. Some people have little problem .. others cannot get things to work.. it seems to be a pity we are not yet past the vhs vs betamix realm of technology. Surely apple could include upnp.. that they don't is more informative of their view of whole problem.
    As far as getting internet.. there is nothing out there that should fail to get basic internet connection.
    Use SMB type names.. for everything.. TC name, wireless name, hard disk name. That means short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    There a few other tricks but starting right helps.
    There is nothing wrong with using your current router.. (if it works properly) and a TC in bridge.. This does not create a different network.. merely a different WAP.. which will match the apple standard better.. you can also do it in reverse and use the TC as the main router and another wireless router in WAP setup.. all wireless routers can work as a pure WAP.. but the upnp issue will still be there in this setup. That is a router protocol not related to wireless.

  • Cisco ASA Site to Site IPSEC VPN and NAT question

    Hi Folks,
    I have a question regarding both Site to Site IPSEC VPN and NAT. Basically what I want to achieve is to do the following:
    ASA2  is at HQ and ASA1 is a remote site. I have no problem setting up a  static static Site to Site IPSEC VPN between sites. Hosts residing at  10.1.0.0/16 are able to communicate with hosts at 192.168.1.0/24, but  what i want is to setup NAT with IPSEC VPN so that host at 10.1.0.0/16  will communicate with hosts at 192.168.1.0/24 with translated addresses
    Just an example:
    Host N2 (10.1.0.1/16) will communicate with host N1 192.168.1.5 with  destination lets say 10.23.1.5 not 192.168.1.5 (Notice the last octet  should be the same in this case .5)
    The same  translation for the rest of the communication (Host N2 pings host N3  destination ip 10.23.1.6 not 192.168.1.6. again last octet is the same)
    It sounds a bit confusing for me but i have seen this type of setup  before when I worked for managed service provider where we had  connection to our clients (Site to Site Ipsec VPN with NAT, not sure how  it was setup)
    Basically we were communicating  with client hosts over site to site VPN but their real addresses were  hidden and we were using translated address as mentioned above  10.23.1.0/24 instead of (real) 192.168.1.0/24, last octet should be the  same.
    Appreciate if someone can shed some light on it.

    Hi,
    Ok so were going with the older NAT configuration format
    To me it seems you could do the following:
    Configure the ASA1 with Static Policy NAT 
    access-list L2LVPN-POLICYNAT permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0
    static (inside,outside) 10.23.1.0 access-list L2LVPN-POLICYNAT
    Because the above is a Static Policy NAT it means that the translation will only be done when the destination network is 10.1.0.0/16
    If you for example have a basic PAT configuration for inside -> outside traffic, the above NAT configuration and the actual PAT configuration wont interfere with eachother
    On ASA2 side you can normally configure NAT0 / NAT Exemption for the 10.1.0.0/16 network 
    access-list INSIDE-NONAT remark L2LVPN NONAT
    access-list INSIDE-NONAT permit ip 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.23.1.0 255.255.255.0
    nat (inside) 0 access-list INSIDE-NONAT
    You will have to take into consideration that your access-list defining the L2L-VPN encrypted traffic must reflect the new NAT network 
    ASA1: access-list L2LVPN-ENCRYPTIONDOMAIN permit ip 10.23.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0
    ASA2: access-list L2LVPN-ENCRYPTIONDOMAIN permit ip 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.23.1.0 255.255.255.0
    I could test this setup tomorrow at work but let me know if it works out.

  • ASA5505 SOHO public ip range and nat head ache

    Hello
    Can anyone shed some ligh on a problem im having. We have setup a ASA 5505 with an ISP called Zen that allocates you a subnet of public ip addresses. i have sucessfully  setup the asa to access the internet using nat on the outside interface. we would like to use the other ip addresses in the range for other services but i cannot think how i can do this/configure this.
    LAN > ASA5505 > VDSL Modem > ISP
    the range they have given us is
    Number of IP addresses: 8
    IP addresses: XX.XX.XXX.40 - XX.XX.XXX.47
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248
    Subnet in slash notation: XX.XX.XXX.40 /29
    Network address: XX.XX.XXX.40
    XX.XX.XXX.41
    XX.XX.XXX.42
    XX.XX.XXX.43
    XX.XX.XXX.44
    XX.XX.XXX.45
    XX.XX.XXX.46 Router
    Broadcast address: XX.XX.XXX.47
    Router address: XX.XX.XXX.46
    i have setup XX.XX.XXX.46 on the otside interface and hosts inside can access the net and nat from the internet to internal devices all work.
    we have a vdsl modem connected to the outside interface and using PPPoE we dynamically get the XX.XX.XXX.46/32 address.
    Is there any way i can use the other spare addresses? i do see how i can use them. i have done a lot of browsing and the only way i see that other people have been able to do this is using a layer3 device and using ip unnumber of the external int point to a loopback,
    any info or advice would be gratefully received.
    regards
    C.

    Hello
    the version is Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 9.2(2)4
    debugging icmp i see pings to the .46 address however i see no pings/traffic received on the asa for the other addresses. how does zen know to route the xx.xx.xx.41 to .45 ip addresses to the firewall using the .46 address?
    the nat rules i have are
    nat (Vlan200_Int,Outside_Dirty_Int) dynamic interface < this works for lan access to the internet
    nat (Vlan200_Int,Outside_Dirty_Int) static xx.xx.xx.45 no-proxy-arp service tcp www 65100

  • Internal DNS server and NAT routing issue.

    Hi -- I am not terribly experienced with DNS and I am running into an issue that I can't seem to resolve. My company.com DNS information is hosted by an outside ISP for email, web, etc... but I have configured an A record there to point to the public IP to my mac os x server (server.company.com).
    We have a cisco router configured with one to one NAT from the public IP to the internal IP for our server in a 192.168.15.x subnet. The same router is running DHCP and and NAT on that subnet under a different public IP provided by our ISP.
    Our server is running DNS with recursion and has a "company.private" zone set up for internal services and machine names. Thus, the server is accessible via "server.company.com" from the outside and "server.company.private" from the private LAN.
    The problem is that I would like to be able to access some services simply via "server.company.com" both inside and outside the private network. Now, accessing the "server.company.com" services from the private lan does not work because the name resolves to the external IP and the external IP cannot be used internally due to NAT.
    Is there a way to configure my internal DNS server to respond with the appropriate private address when receiving a query only to "server.company.com" and forward requests on for anything else on "company.com"?
    I know that I could manually duplicate all entries for our domain from my ISP and host the same entries for internal clients, but it would be much easier to only have our server handle requests for itself. The server is running OS X Server 10.4.11.
    Thanks

    Is there a way to configure my internal DNS server to respond with the appropriate private address when receiving a query only to "server.company.com" and forward requests on for anything else on "company.com"?
    Ordinarily, no. Once your server thinks it is responsible for a zone (e.g. company.com) then it will answer all queries for that domain and never pass them upstream. Therefore you'd have to replicate all the zone data, including all the public records, and maintain them both.
    The one possible exception to this (I haven't tried) is to create a zone for server.company.com that has your internal address. In theory (like I said, I haven't tried this), the server should respond to 'server.company.com' lookups with its own zone data and defer all other lookups (including other company.com names since they're not in a zone it controls). Might be worth trying.

  • Apple Airport Extreme Base Station for PPPoE, DHCP and NAT with ActionTec DSL modem

    I just spent several hours trying to track down proper instructions for setting up my Apple AEBS to do the PPPoE, DHCP and NAT while connected to an ActionTec M1000 (no wireless module).  It turns out my initial set ups on both devices were correct, but that the order for rebooting and reconnecting the two devices is critical.  All of the threads I found on this forum and on many others suggested this was not possible, but it is.  What I don't yet know is whether it is the best method for running my home network DSL connection to my ISP (CenturyLink). 
    The instructions I found that worked come courtesy of Brandon Konkle's blog and are both simple and clear:  http://brandon.konkle.us/post/19637529637/centurylink-actiontec-q1000-airport-ex treme-bridge
    The proper settings for the ActionTec DSL Modem can be found under Advanced Setup/IP Adressing/WAN IP Address
    Click RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging then click on Apply.
    (see also http://qwest.centurylink.com/internethelp/modems/m1000/pdf/M1000_BRIDGE.pdf )
    To reduce time, do this BEFORE you reset your AEBS then set the AEBS so that you don't have to wait for the AEBS to reboot. 
    In contrast to what Brandon described for the Q1000 modem, my AEBS never reconnected to the modem (he describes his as getting an IP from his ISP, then dropping it then getting another over and over - mine never got an IP).  Once you have reset both devices as described, the critical steps I have not found described elsewhere were:
    1.  Disconnect the power from both the modem and the Airport Extreme.
    2.  Disconnect the Ethernet cable between the two devices
    3.  Restore power to the 2 devices and allow them to fully reboot.  For the ActionTec M1000, this is indicated when the lights stop blinking.  (Note that the Internet light will NOT be lit in this instance since the modem is acting only as a bridge.  You will NOT have an Internet connection until the AEBS is reconnected.)  The AEBS will be blinking yellow.
    4.  Reconnect the Ethernet cable between the devices (make sure on the M1000 that you are using the connector with the circle icon over it, not the arrow icon).
    Within about 60 seconds, the AEBS light went to steady green and the connection to the Internet was restored.
    Now I have to see if this is a more stable configuration than the flaky one I had before while using the AEBS as a bridge and the M1000 to do everything. 
    Does anyone think or know if it will make a difference?

    No one can accurately predict in advance what the actual results might be. I've tried both ways with different products and cannot say that one method is better than the other.  What works is best.
    In theory, it is preferable to have the modem provide the PPPoE connection service since it is the device connected directly to the Internet.
    In practice, results vary depending on the service provider, products used, phase of the moon, alignment of the planets, etc.

  • I can't use PS3 and Laptop at same time ?

    OK I'm hoping although strange this might be a simple as changing a setting in my hub or laptop, here goes:-
    Like many housholds nowadays I have many things connected to my Hub, Desktop, Ipod, Phone, Sky, games machines,etc
    Well the problem I have, is when I stream Netflix or Amazon prime on my PS3 it buffers a lot or wont go HD for quite some time, no problem I switched to a wired set up, which helped with speed a lot, happily watching movies of an evening,
    then one evening, it kept saying it's taking a long time to sign in, and wouldn't, I re check my network settings, and it shows unable to obtain an ip address,
    so I set up the wirless again, and the same problem,
     anyway after a few nights of this, I get a bit fed up, then out of the blue, it works again, both wireless and when I switch back to wired,
    so I settle down to watch a film, fire up laptop, and after a few mins it flashes on my PS3 I have been disconnected, I peice things to gether and realise, when I have laptop on I cant connect PS3, even if laptop is wirless and PS3 wired ?.
    I assume they are both using the same ip ?, I deleted the laptop from my Hub in the hope it would assign another, fired up PS3, and then re booted laptop, but straight away it kicks out PS3.
    I have mooched arround in hub advanced settings, but I dont know what I'm doing, so not going to adjust anything, so if it is just a case of modifying my laptop or hub settings, if someone could instruct me I would be greatful, and if its not thought to be that HHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLPP   Please
    Thanks in advance
    Chris
    P.S. I have searched the forums, there seems to be a lot of PS3 connection problems, but nothing that matches my particular problems

    No I'm afraid that didn't work either

  • Can i stream the content on my airport extreme to my PC, PS3 and iPad ?

    I want to purchase either the Airport Extreme (and plug in a 1TB external hard drive) or the Time Capsule. I want to know if it is possible to share the media in either of the drives (movies of all formats avi flv wmv mp4 and songs etc) wirelessly on my PC, PS3 and iPad.
    I basically just need an airport express because i need to extend my wireless range by plugging in an ethernet cable. But if i will be able to share the content in a hard drive wirelessly without much mess, then i'd go for the capsule or the extreme. I've googled around and found that its incredibly messy to stream non-mp4 videos on iPad, u need to copy the entire movie onto ipad to watch it and blah blah.
    Can anyone tell answer me like u talk to a non-tech freak ? Thanks

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods available for copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.  Once you have successfully done that, you can safely choose the Erase and Sync option.
