It's a security measure. If you want to chat online, change it to nat 2. It's ok to change your ps3 to nat 2 because it can't get viruses. Don't change it for your computers though.

NAT is network address translation.

its best just to have it open seeing as how the ps3 and the 360 cannot get viruses, to do this you may have to open some ports on your router. just call MS or Sony and they should know what ports.

that usually opens the NAT up if it isnt already open.

hope that helps

oh and you prolly have to contact your routers brand customer service, the will walk you through how to do all this after you get the port numbers and whatnot from sony/MS.

linksys is one that is open 24/7, which is the router i have.
