Not really but I guess it's just a matter of timing. I could obtain IP address and internet connection but then couldn't sign into PSN. But when I tried late at night yesterday, it was smooth sailing all the way, I was even able to play GTA4 online. So, I guess i'll just stick to late night online gaming. Thanks for your help!

Good day,
It's been 2 night I try figure out how to change from NAT3 to NAT2, from this forum info. Youtube,you named it. I think there are some steps missing for me. Can anyone assist me to set my PS3 to get NAT2:
INFO :
Modem : RiGER DB102, PPOE Mode
Router : NETGEAR WGR614V9

I have tried,DMZ , port forwarding, triggering, eventhougt not really understand.For sure there are some point missing in my steps. Any clear instruction?

Maybe, I need to setup the RIGER Modem first? then the router? How?
Please help me, PS3 without network gaming are waste.....

Using belkin G+ router f5d9230. Works great.

Maybe u set your PS3 static IP to 192.168.1.50. (outside the range of 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.34)

But u have to re-configure port forwarding again..


If that doesn't work...then i have ran out of idea.

Last solution...change the router...

Your current router is free supplied by TM??

set the riger to bridge mode first

*skip the set up of pppoe dialler in your os part*

then set the netgear to dial pppoe (streamyx)

you will get NAT2

any1 can teach me to do portfowarding.. my router not giving good connection. using TL-WR542G

This is the site that i recommend to AstonCheah as I trying to help him.

http://portforward.com/routers.htm

Go to the site and search for router brand and model

very good site. They even educate u about port forwarding and other related networking stuff.

waaaaaa......thank you...that's all it take to change from NAT3 to NAT2...

step :
1) Reset my RIGER DB102 modem
2) Reset my NETGEAR WGR614 V9 --> also set DMZ port to open(don't know this affect or not)
--> already closed no affect still NAT2, also no port triggering/port forwarding, still NAT2...
3) Set RIGER DB102 to bridged mode
4) Connect to NETGEAR --> insert login name and password inside netgear instead of DB102
5) COnnect to PS3, wallah NAT2..UPNP OK..

Basically, no need setting port forwarding/DMZ...only change from PPOE to bridge, RIGER is the problem.....

Thank kiu....vely much..

yep most of the time people get NAT3 because they are under 2 routers.

previously, your riger modem is also a router, because it dialled to the ISP and then routed the connection to your netgear router. at this point, your netgear router is in NAT2, because the network has already been routed (NAT-ed) 1 time. subsequent routing (& NAT) by the netgear caused your ps3 to be under NAT3.

tks bro.. will try it tomorrow.

Hi Koonfoon,

i got my problem solved by adding one D-link wireless router (RM150.00) , needless to set anything except to set the internet connection on the router and my PS3 auto went to type 2.

actually i can also get Type 1 by setting my Riger modem to bridge mode but i wanted to browse internet with my PC while playing PS3 Games so no choice but to buy the D-link router...

thanks for your information anyway.

Netgear routers work superbly with my PS3

any1 here using p1 wimax? well i having a nat3 type on my ps3... so im try to figure what kind of router that can compatible to ps3... and how can i change to nat2 or nat 1 from router?

i'm using cheap2 AZTECH DSL605EW Wireless router. just work like a charm

i'm not that well-versed in wimax
how does the router/modem look like (i mean the wimax one)
can you give me the model number etc

i'm interested in a bit of reading

actually im using wimax..can use with wired connection.but cannot use when i want use with my tenda modem wireless..maybe setup my tenda modem.can someone give idea to solve my problem.tq..

I'm using. Currently p1 only give NAT3 connection even u plug in the modem direct into ps3.

well im not sure about the model no coz im in office rite now...
but this the pic i can get to show for u...


yeah that is what i get also... n i think while we play ps3 online it getting lag might be bcoz the upload speed is too low...

ok so does it have it;s own dhcp server or wifi access point? most probably it is also a router right? not just a bridge. you can still use it without any additional router.

is that right?

well i think it is a modem only n not coming with router... n also we cannot even access the modem setting...
