Default nat 3 to nat 2
iv notcied whilst playing cod4 that i cant join my mates invites due to the fact i have nat 3, now i have tried multiple online self help step by step etc etc but none have worked.

I have a router and a modem. both dlink

Router- DI-624
Modem- DSL-302G

The ps3 is connected by ethernet to router, which is then connected by ethernet to modem

Im bascially network illiterate so you'll have to explain how to change my nat in laymen's terms.

cheers

jon

First off you will need to open specific ports for the PlayStation network traffic to go through. Log into your router set up in the web browser and go into the Advanced tab- you will find the Port Forwarding here. Once here click on "Applications" on the left side. You should see something caled 'Special Applications" on the page. Click the small button that says "enable" then, one set at a time, add in the following ports:

• TCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223, and 10070 - 10080
• UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658, and 10070

In the name blank you can put "PlayStation 3" 9this is more an identifier for you to remind you what's using the ports). Now, for the port numbers on their own put the same number in the port range blanks and select the corect type out of the drop down menu (TCP or UDP). Public port should use the same numbers and type. Click the Apply button.

Once you have all of the numbers in you will need to power down your connection for about 30 seconds. Unplug the router and the modem. After a few seconds plug the modem back in and wait for the lights to show normal connections. Then plug the router back in. This should get you to NAT 2 and let you get gaming!

You can make the name whatever you like but for the sake of making things less confusing the next time you look in on this you should use the suggestion i made above- PlayStation 3 (or PS3, whatever you like).

Hm... changing NAT seems to be trickier with D-Kink for whatever rason. Some digging around found someone claiming D-Link told them it can't be changed.

Ah well, an alternate solution may be in order. Go into the PS3's settings and find the IP address given to your PS3. Then, in the Advanced tab of your router settings click on DMZ. Enable this and put the last numbers of the IP address in the blank, then hit the apply button. This puts the PS3 outside of any protection the router may give, which should allow all traffic.

An update of the router's firmware may help things along as well. You can find details about that at D-Link's site.

According to Activision it is a router-related issue. That error means some of the data got lost as the server was sending it to you. As you have already done the solutions they suggest all i can say is to try it again- the server may have had too many going into it to handle all of the requests.

I tried all the router suggestions and still got nat 3. after much frustration I called my ISP. Do this. Ask if your IP address is private or public. My ISP sets u up as private. I had them change it to public...BINGO Nat 2. Hope this helps.
