finally changed my NAT type

just thought i'd say, after about 2 hours of changing settings on my router(s) i've finally manages to change my NAT type from type 3 to type 2. yayy now i can connect with other players with no problems!!

I've been having problems with my NAT type, how'd you fix yours?

for real? How the heck did you change it? I have no problem on my internet with being type 2 but when I go to my parent's house it's type 3 and I don't know how to fix it. TELL US LOL

I had the same problem for over a year until I was playing around and found that my IP's modem was working as a router and blocking any changes I made to the router. First thing that anyone with this problem should do is connect the PS3 directly to the modem and see what NAT type they get. If you have a NAT 3 then the modem needs to be reconfigured from a router to a bridged connection then the router can be configured to get the max out of your service provider.jimm895

Considering that likely all you had to do was open up some ports on your router (most common address 192.168.1.1) I cant understand how people can go for weeks with this problem other than pure laziness, the first 5 google results are almost step by step instructions for crying out loud.hot114

You know Google has abou 10,000 results for this........EpiphoneMan2008

I've tired all of these "solutions". I get the feeling that you haven't changed your NAT before.

I had some problems with my old router anyway, then it just died. So i got a new one from bigpond. Set it up, and i got NAT type 2 straight away.
