some games are less picky about nat type and some really require at least nat2. it depends on your luck

wimax is ok in latency and is quite comparable to adsl. it is different than umts & those hsdpa standards.

vorchiel,

could it be safely said that most PS3 games require at least NAT2 ?
*
yep

properly-opened ports/dmz/upnp will give NAT2

NAT 1 is for direct PPPOE connection to the modem in bridge mode, although some ppl claimed that they were able to get NAT1 connecting to a router.

vorchiel,

thanks for yer feedback...about the claims that people managed to get NAT1 via a router, well yesterday I went to a game shop which hooked up its PS3 to WiMAX modem via netgear router (dunno which model) and could play Resistence 2 online  ...

making me confused huhu  shakehead.gif
*
what's why i said it depends on the games. some games require nat2 to host a game, and some require nat2 to be able to play a game. panda-chan is on amax's wimax and he is under NAT3. luckily LBP and BOP are not picky and he can play that game normally (and even host a game in LBP).

during my uni days, i couldnt play cod4 online even though my connection is NAT2. that is because my uni firewall blocked the port used by cod4 to connect to servers. they wont open up the port even after i sent them the official guide from IW to say that the port is legit for cod4 and not for some random p2p app.

iirc MGO players with NAT3 cant host the game. i dont know about resistance 2 because i dont have that game.

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.....
*
set the riger to bridge mode first
http://www.riger.com.my/SmartConfig.pdf
*skip the set up of pppoe dialler in your os part*

then set the netgear to dial pppoe (streamyx)

you will get NAT2

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.

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.. for dsl, for pure bridge mode, one has to connect using pppoe dialler in os. or a router can dial to pppoe.

so, if that wimax bridge is just a modem, you will need a dialler apps in pc. or another router

but if it autoconnect without you doing anything, most probably it is also a router. have you tried connecting pcs directly and check the gateway ip?

well i have try to check the gateway ip n also try to access to the setting too but too bad p1 doesn't include those username n password for us... so i think i can do nothing at all... n beside that the promoter told me i need to get a router if i wan multiple networking...  and also yeapp the modem will connect itself once i turn it on... all i need to do is just plug in my network cable...

ok. maybe this explains why you get NAT3.

if my conjecture is right, you can use the wimax modem's ip as gateway ip in ip settings for all your devices in the network. and then, connect the wimax modem to the lan port (not wan port) of the router (not wimax modem). i dont know if your router supports this or not, but some routers can act as network switch. so all NAT can be skipped. it may be a bit tricky for wireless dhcp though. because it will use the router's ip as gateway, resulting in NAT3. but you can try to set it manually.

haha thx sweety u gave me gud explaination... well actually i still haven't get any router yet.. coz im afraid it might not be compatible to connect to ps3... so what im trying to ask in the first place is what kind of router that will suits the ps3...  n vorchiel really thx a lot... mayb i will ask u for setting manually for the router in future... thumbup.gif

there is way to try though. if you get NAT3 when connecting it direct to ps3 using ethernet cable, then i think that nothing can be done to change that sweat.gif

hi dudes, i need some help/guidance on the below

I bought a wireless router Buffalo AirStation WHR-G300N (802.11n, 2.4GHz) at Low Yat just now for RM169, and even after connecting it correctly to my laptop (which is my only PC), the setup program still says got connection error. i can only connect to streamyx when I set the (ON/OFF/AUTO) switch to OFF.

I want to connect my PS3 to go online, so far after Scan it can detect the SSID of the router and displays its serial number, but after that i don't know what settings to use for

- WLan Security Setting (I selected None)
- IP Address Setting (I selected Automatic, or should I select PPPoE to enter my streamyx login and password?)
- DCHP host name (I selected Do Not Set)
- DNS Setting (I selected Automatic)
- MTU (I selected Automatic)
- Proxy Server (I selected Do Not Use)
- UNnP - (I selected Enable)

then saved, went to test connection and it failed to obtain IP Address..
hope you guys can help me.... thanks
*
what is your modem model/brand?

if i were you, i'd set up the current modem as bridge-only, and use the buffalo to dial to streamyx (pppoe).

failing to obtain ip address means that the dhcp server in the buffalo (or your modem) isnt assigning a new ip to the ps3. it might be caused by conflicting dhcp servers or the wep/wpa keys are wrong or the ps3 mac address is not in the whitelist/allowed list.

my modem is the streamyx asdl modem DB102 2/2+.

however, during the setup of the Buffalo, the instructions was to have both the streamyx modem and buffalo router in the system.

would really appreciate how to get this to work, otherwise will regret paying for such a wireless router....
*
if both are functioning as routers, there will be some complications for nat type and or port-forwarding/dmz/firewall etc. it is advised to only have one router to simplify things.

db102 is a riger modem/router

1) connect directly to the db102 first
2) set it to bridge mode -> http://www.riger.com.my/SmartConfig.pdf (follow until page 3 only)


next, connect to the buffalo (this time you can connect the buffalo & riger together)

1) set the buffalo switch to ON (page 19, on = router mode on) http://www.buffalotech.com/support/getfile..._Manual_web.pdf
2) set the buffalo to connect to pppoe (enter your streamyx setting), sorry couldnt find exact page in pdf but i saw it as an option.


set up wireless accordingly whether you want to use wep,wpa,aoss etc and make sure to use the same setting for ps3.

if you want an alternative setting, use the riger as router (page 11 in pdf) and set the buffalo to "OFF" (AP mode)

I truly appreciate your advise and steps to take, will give it a go tonight and let you know the results.

thanks!


Added on March 18, 2009, 11:59 pmhi vorchiel,

i followed the steps you mentioned, however unable to connect to the IP adress specified in both Firefox and IE. Keeps on timing out.

did you use static dns or dynamic dns in the buffalo pppoe setting?
