NAT 3 problem for the PS3; help...

The browser and downloads crawl when it works which is very very rarely, I have yet to test out it out on games though. I've read that this is due to me getting Nat 3 as opposed to Nat 2 or 1. I've updated my firmware to 2.35. I've tried plugging the PS3 directly to the modem. I've tried attaining a static ip but failed (I vaguely recall a Streamyx helpline worker telling me that I would need to purchase it if i wanted it some years back). I'm still using Streamyx with a Prolink router. I reset the modem/router, turned them off and turned off the PS3 for 2 mins and rebooted. None of it has helped me with connection. Any of you guys can point me in the right direction? Or tell me how you guys dealt with the problem (some info on your setup would be great as well) Thanks in advance

You will get NAT Type 1 straight away.

I've read quite a fair bit of suggestion online and tried those I've seen, but I still get stuck with Nat 3. I've left Sony a message and I don't think their's much Streamyx can do for me. Anymore suggestions?

What kind of error did u get? ps: try resetting your modem, and try again.

Do you know if there alot of people in Malaysia with this problem or just a few? Because I was thinking it might be Streamyx's firewall or something..... I'm not sure, just using what I read online.

Just direct connection from Streamyx modem to your PS3? Then, there should be no problem. You can try resetting your modem back to default settings. Most probably, PPoE already auto-setup inside your modem, causing the IP time-out.

Lol oops, so getting a modem will fix this right up? Well, not necessarily to get a new modem, coz with modem + router you can still get NAT Type 2 which is recommended as well for PS3 connection. NAT Type 1 is better in terms of hosting games and stuff. But, getting NAT Type 2 is not bad either. The only thing is now how to get that on your modem. :lol: Normally, when you use internet on your PC, you dial-up to Streamyx everytime or automatically connected when boot-up PC?

I'm not sure, just using what I read online. try to enable DHCP function inside ur modem/router, every router should have this function. Look like the modem failed to assign IP addres to your PS3 Just my 2 cent.

Have you tried to enable DMZ against PS3 IP? ps: can you post your modem router model number/name? And, can you try the following method, especially the port forward settings: http://www.pregamelobby.com/forum/sony-rev...t-your-PS3.html
