Nat type?

quick question..on my ps3 it says nat type 2....but on my mw3 game it says nat type moderate.

there are so many ways people say to change it...

i find most of them overwhelming and quite confusing.

what is the best nat type? and is there a simple guide or tutorial on this subject? thanks.

Re: Nat type?

Re: Nat type?

the best nat type is defo 1 (open) if you play in parties. The best and easist way to open it is to phone your internet provider and tell them to do it.

Re: Nat type?

Or if you are PC > ROUTER > PS3 you can enter the TELNET codes to force your router open and turn off UPNP once you have done that. Worked a treat for me.

  Usually you need to set UPnP to ON to change your NAT type to open. Weird that disabling it makes your NAT open.

  Try a full reset on your router. That normally works for me.

Re: Nat type?

The easiest and quickest way is, if you have a copy of MW2 load it to multiplayer, then eject disc from multiplayer screen then insert MW3 and voila open nat. Have been doing this since black ops came out and it works every time.
