In Modern Warfare if your NAT type is anything other than 'open' you may have an issue playing with certain friends, or frequently get kicked out of games. If your NAT type is 'moderate' or 'strict' then you will need to address the issue.
The issue is to do with port forwarding from your modem/router to your PlayStation or Xbox, your PS3/360 must be given access to the correct ports for MW2.
*The way to do this can vary depending on your router/modem*
Firstly you need to find your modem/routers ip address so we can get into its settings menu, do this by clicking 'start' on your PC, then go to 'run', in the 'run' box type 'CMD' and hit enter. This should bring up a black box (DOS style Command prompt) where you must type 'ipconfig' and hit enter, you will now see your modem/routers ip address.
Now still on your PC, open internet explorer, and type in your router/modems ip address in the address bar and hit enter, this should take you to the settings menu of your router/modem where we will give the PS3/360 full access to all ports.
To give your PS3/360 access to all ports we must find out your PS3/360s MAC address and add it to a list called 'DMZ' in your router/modems settings menu.
I believe you are on 360 and here is how to find your MAC address on 360:
1. Navigate to the System area of the Xbox Dashboard.
2. Select Network Settings.
3. Select Edit Settings.
4. Select Additional Settings.
5. Select Advanced Settings.
In here you will see your MAC address, copy this exactly into the 'DMZ area on your modem/router settings and save them.
Now your PS3/360 has full unlimited access to all/any ports it requires and should allow you to play your games without any problems at all.
It takes a few steps. First you have to know the PS3's IP address, which you will find under Settings > System Settings > System Information. When you find that, write it down. Then you have to go to whatever web site your particular Wireless Router company gave you, for making changes. Then you have to find the place on the site for "Port Forwarding". Once you find that, and enter the IP address of your PS3, your NAT type should change to 'OPEN', and you're done.
It all depends on your internet connection. Try restarting the modem, and if it is still moderate or bad, it must be your internet connection. if your using WiFi, try and switch to an Ethernet cable if you can.
You don't. This has to do with your connection.
The NAT is not something you can change the only way to change it is to have a faster connection.
You don't.
Test your xbox live connection in network settings and your nat type is open
You have to change your NAT type through your router. Call your internet provider for instructions
It has all got to do with your NAT Type. If your NAT Type is Open then it is using WiFi. If your NAT Type is Strict then it is using your Internet Connection.
by changing it
You need to access the settings on your router.
If you would like to change your NAT type from strict or moderate to open it first depends on your router, (linkseys, Netgear) For both use a wired or Ethernet computer and type 192.168.1.1 in the web address. Then it will ask for a user and pass, which is usually; USER: admin PASS: password unless you have changed it. From then on it depends what router you have so with that i can answer.
Depends on the type of router you have. Google "How to open NAT setting on a [Enter router type here]". You should find your answer there.
