NAT1 PS3 - BT Broadband

    Hi,

    With some difficulty I managed to finally change my Nat Type from 2 -> 1.

    I have BT broadband and basically just set up wired connection over PPPoE protocol using ISP's supplied username and password. I had to change network type from PPPoA to PPPoE to get this to work. Any downfall with doing this?

    Is it true that a wired connection is more reliable than wireless connection for playing games online?

    Anyway previously on Nat Type 2 i.e accessing Net through router the IP address of my PS3 was 192.168.0.2 - after doing the above (connecting to net directly through ISP) it's something completely different.

    Main Question - Will I know have to forward all TCP and UPD ports needed for playing game online from this 198.162.0.2 -> this new IP address? And what if BT brodband does not use a Static IP.

    Can someone also please explain why playing games online will be less laggy over NAT Type 1 Vs Type 2?

    Last Question - when hosting a game is the speed dependent on your download or upload speed and what speed would be acceptable for smooth gaming.

    Thanks.
