Ps3 Nat type 3 change Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.

jigsaw07

Simple question , Tried a lot of different ways to go from a nat 3 to nat 1 and no success.

Have an Eircom Netopia Router, Would changeing my router solve the problem??

plenty of threads about this, firstly what did you try?

Ive seen the threads on this topic, and have tried a lot of what was said, but no jy im afraid, so was considering buying a new router in the hope it would solve my problem, dont have my ps3 that long so bit miffed i cant play online!!
Things ive tried are, changing firewall settings from hig to low, opening ports, messed around with internet connection settings on ps3 but no joy!

Go onto youtube and search - carlow nat type 1

jigsaw07

Did that already, no luck with it. thanks anyways!

Thought so, it took a few attempts for me. Maybe lowering firewall settings might help.

I have a netopia router with Eircom and i set up NAT 1 no problem with it using the youtube video. make sure you have the PPPoe user name right. Username: eircom Password: broadband1.

Even now sometimes when i try to go online it will take up to 5 mins for it to work initially. So if your have set up PPPOE the way the video says, try connecting a couple of times before giving up.

Can anyone recommend a good modem/router to replace that netopia piece of crap, its giving me nothing but trouble. Do I need to keep it and bridge it with another router or can I get something that will just replace it outright ?

Any dsl router will be better that netopia router.
Try this Linksys Wireless-N Home ADSL2+ Modem Router WAG120N, price around 50E, takes 5 min to setup Nat2(the best for online gaming), works without any problems

My ps3 actually says i'm on NAT 2 already, and thats just from automatic settings on the ps3 after I had to restore the router and lost all my static NAT settings. Was hoping to get NAT 1 but that keep it carlow thing won't work cause i'm with Imagine.

The only game I have problems with is MW2 really, unplayable sometimes and host migration rarely works.

I think the username should be "eircom@eircom.net"

I often switch from NAT1 to NAT3 depending on whether I gaming or streaming video from PC, and thats the username that works for me on Netopia routers with eircom..... (obviously )
