    I have a PS3, and I need to change the nat type on it for COD3 to work on it for me, well for online gaming that is. I have posted about this before, and went through a few steps to try do it, but have failed to do so everytime. I have Eircom Broadband with the router they supplied, Netopia 3347NWG. I have tryed a couple of times to change the Nat type, but no joy at all.

    Can someone please give advice on how to do so? I am not playing my PS as much thanks to it, its sort of annoying me off at the moment lol. Any advice is greatly appriciated.

    Emm yeah sorry, I supose telling people what nat type I had, probably would help me a bit:p . Yeah its nat type 2, too. I heard that for COD 3 to work that it has to be changed to nat type 3? Is this correct?

    NO! u dont want type 3 i think. I changed to it once and it even warned me that communication in game may not work correctly, but NAT 2 gives no warning.

    Eircom starter pack broadband usually gives nat type 1, which is pretty ****. Cause when i had it, i could not connect to any1 who had nat type 1 also. Eircom are actually a fairly **** broadband company in my opinion.

    Guys,

    This thread is over a year old. Let is die in peace.

    It is widely known that PSN was down for a while yesterday. They were doing background updates before they release Firmware 2.50 for PS3 and 5.00 for PSP today.
