Netopia router NAT issues

Hysterious

Yeah, sorry about another one of these threads, but I've asked every corner of the Internet about this and no one knows.

My problem is that I want a Nat 2 connection rather than my current Nat 3. I have a wireless connection with that netopia router that Eircom supplied. I've been told that using IP passthrough will solve all my issues, but I can't get it working for this reason.
When I go onto my IP passthrough page I got this screen

192.168.1.5 is my PS3's ip address, but that's when it is not static. When I assign my Ps3 a static ip address it will not show up in that box, meaning I cannot use IP passthrough on my PS3. Any help would be appreciated.

I would Thank You, but your a Clare man!

No seriously, this topic has been discussed vastly on these boards. Do a search. You can only get NAT type 1 & 3, Nat type 2 is not possible. If you want to change to NAT Type 1 (Open NAT) do a search or keep it Carlow on YouTube.
