Anyone with ps3 online knowledge please help!

I am unbelievably pissed off at my ps3 online connection. Half the time it works, half the time I get booted. I'l lbe playing COD4 online for 3 or 4 hours fine then all of a sudden bam disconnected. Reset the game, bam disconnected. Its **** unreal. I have a wired connection and my internets fine. I have no problems doing anything online on my computer, only my ps3. Ive done my reserach and I realize if I want a better connection I should change my NAT type from type 3 to type 1 or 2. Ive also read the step by step directions how to do this a million times here.. http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=74303. This still does not help. For 1) I have no idea how to assign my ps3 a static IP address. And for 2), I have no idea how to open up ports. Someone please give me advice how to fix this ridiculous internet connection so I can play online without randomly getting disconnected every god damn day. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice man, but I am almost certain what needs to be done is changing my NAT type. As I mentioned before I cannot find one person or tutotial that has yet been able to help me change it. Someone please help!! I refuse to play online again until my NAT type is changed.

When my PS3 entered NAT3, I couldn't join any games on Warhawk.

However, DMZ is taking your PS3's IP address and opening all the ports needed so you don't hafta forward anyports.

It also depends on your router, normally, you'd hafta enter your router's IP address in the URL bar to get to your router's settings. Locate anything with the name DMZ. On your PS3 go to settings > network settings > internet connection list > and it should say IP address.

Enter that into your router.

Everyone will have their own little quirk on how they got NAT type to work. Mines still at NAT 3 but trying to also fix it, everything on the internet hasn't helped me, but I found out how to get a Static IP on my PS3 and through your router. Which will hopfully help me, which can hopfully help you man.

Call your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Tell them you want to set up a Static IP address so you can run your PS3, they will set one up with a IP address, DNS Server, Gateway and all those fun things. You must then do a manual Internet Set-up on your PS3, it isn't hard.

But first call your ISP to get the static ip address, I'm doing this tonight when I get home from work, to hopfully solve my problem, since nothing yet has worked.

You can PM man and I will send you to some links to help.

Yo i typed my routers ip address in the url bar to change my settings and it says "internet explorer cannot display webpage". This is really starting to annoy the hell out of me. Everything i try does not work. I simply want to change my NAT type to getter a better conenction and it seems like I'm stuck with NAT Type 3 no matter what. There has to be something I can do to fix this BS. Someone please help, I'm not playing my PS3 online again until this damn problem gets fixed.buzzn77d

Hey man don't get discouraged .. I've been trying to fix mine for like 2 weeks, I think I almost have it. You'll get it eventually.

Also when you call your ISP ask them if they have a firewall up, because if they do than that can be a problem, maybe get them to take it down, as long as all your routers and modems are password safe.

What kind of router do you have?

Ok, for starters my router does not even have a name on it (The only words on the entire box is "power" "ethernet" "line 1" "line 2", etc) It came through my ISP which is Road Runner (through Time Warner Cable). The modems brand is TouchStone, the router doesnt have a name on it, just a black box.

My routers IP address is 192.168.0.9

As far as my DNS settings, I've called my ISP multiple times this week to try and fix this ridiculous problem and they are of ZERO help. I usually get some dumb foreign broad that can barely speak english, let alone give me any useful information. Therefore I could not get my "DNS settings" out of her. I just get frustrated and tell her shes worthless and hang up.

If there is any other information you need to help me out please let me know, I will be glad to give you any information I can for someone to help me change my NAT Type ASAP. Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to try and help me out. I get frustrated very easily and bottom line is I just want to play my PS3 online without getting randomly disconnected all the time, thats all.

Then why doesn't mine work? Because I have done everything and still NAT3 .. makes no sense does it?

Go to your Start Menu click run then type CMD hit enter, then when the prompt comes up type in ipconfig/all then hit enter. All router info should be in there.

And in Internet Explorer type in 192.168.0.1 see if that works or 192.168.1.1

If you're using a router, make sure your router has the latest firmware update (provided by the company itself). Once you download it, you have to type in your own IP address in your browser, and upload the software and then it'll restart the modem/router. I had this issue cause my firmware was like 4 years old and now it has awesome connection.rpgfreak15

Done, looks like I'm doomed with NAT3 forever ..:(

Heres my router information,

Connection specific DNS Suffix: twcny.rr.com

IP Address: 192.168.0.11

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248

Default Gateway: 192.168.0.9

I've tried typing in the Default Gateway IP address into my browser to try and mess around with my router settings, but it doesnt work. "Internet Explorer cannot display webpage" If any other information is needed let me know. Sooner or later Im hoping someone can post me a simple step by step tutorial on how to change my NAT Type....

Nooooo, like you told the guy, don't give up! I had NAT3 for awhile but after I entered my PS3's IP address into the DMZ settings of my router, it eventually became NAT2 again.

However, addition to the DMZ settings, I bought a new router and modem which solved my slow internet problem + added on advanced features to ignore any traffic except the PS3 (only when PS3 is on) and to recognize my PS3's ethernet port as top priority

TC there may be a problem with the router that your ISP is providing you. I have DSL here and am using my own router (a older D-Link G series) that works like a charm even with multiple systems running off the same network. I have some friends that are using cable ISP's and at certain times of the day they have a tough time with there service as well because so many people are using the same feed for there TV and internet service where for some reason with DSL may not be advertized to be as fast but it seems that it really is not only as fast but much more stable.

Note I have everything except my desktop running on a wireless network.

I give up. It's unbelievable how difficult it is to change your NAT Type, especially if your not a Networking Speacialist. I've reaserched ps3 forums and networking forums until I can't see straight, and I still cannot change this annoying NAT Type 3. I guess I will just suffer and not play any more games online, if this is really that difficult of a problem to fix. I have no more words to describe my frustration with the problem other than, unbelievable. Theres got to be some netwroking whiz out there that can send me a step by step networking-for-idiots guide to solve this problem.buzzn77d

Basically, if you can get into your router's settings. You can enter your PS3's IP into DMZ settings. And that should solve the problem.

Ahhhh I know. I have tried everything though from Port Forwarding to DMZ and nothing seems to work, so I think my best bet is call my ISP and have them help me, hopfully they can.

When I got my ps3,my uncle made it nat type3.

I made it 2 later and didint notice any difference

Trust me man there is .. Headset cuts out, Lag ..

just unplug the modem i had the same problem

Well I finally figured out why I cant access my router options or give you barely any information on it. My ISP blocks all user access to the router settings. If I wanted to do any of this port forwarding business or DMZ crap I would have to go out and buy my own router set it up to my preferences. Finally getting somewhere. Looks like I am going to have to make a trip to Wal-Mart tonight and buy a Linksys router instead of using this P.O.S. my ISP provided me with.buzzn77d

After you are up and running I would be on the phone with customer service demanding a discount and tell them to come get there garbage router.
