I believe so it does on the 360 so most likely on ps3 too. You want it enabled btw
You can forward ports on your router for your PS3's IP, add the PS3 to the router's DMZ, or (although just this isn't the best fix in my experience) turn UPnP on on your router
To check if your NAT type is open in Modern Warfare 2, you can go to the game's settings and look for the network settings option. An "Open" NAT type allows for the best connectivity and matchmaking experience. If your NAT type is "Moderate" or "Strict," you may need to adjust your router settings or enable UPnP to improve it. Additionally, ensure that your firewall settings are not blocking the game.
Using an Ethernet connection can help improve your NAT type, but it does not guarantee an open NAT. Typically, a wired connection provides a more stable and reliable internet connection, which can reduce latency and packet loss. However, the NAT type is primarily influenced by your router settings and network configuration. To achieve an open NAT, you may need to configure port forwarding, enable UPnP, or adjust your router's firewall settings.
by changing it
Sometimes this is due to NAT type 3. You get this when connecting your PS3 Via wi-fi. But there is a way you can bypass this, you enter the PS3 ports into your router.
test your xbox live connection 3 times and make sure they all suceed and fully connect
Yes, although if you NAT read Moderate make sure the UPnP is Checked On
To achieve an open NAT type, first, ensure your router's firmware is up to date. Then, enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) in your router settings, which allows devices to automatically configure port forwarding. If UPnP isn't available or effective, you can manually forward the necessary ports for your gaming console or application. Lastly, consider connecting your device via an Ethernet cable for a more stable connection, and check your firewall settings to ensure they're not blocking connections.
mine is open or moderate however, when my internet is 'lagging' its strict, i dunno what this is, please help.
Try going to a wired connection with ethernet cable
To lower your NAT type, you can enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on your router, which allows devices on your network to communicate more easily with each other and the internet. Alternatively, you can set up port forwarding by manually opening specific ports used by the applications or games you want to improve connectivity for. Another option is to switch to a wired connection, as it often provides a more stable NAT type compared to Wi-Fi. Lastly, consider using DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) for your gaming console or PC, which places it outside the router's firewall for better accessibility.
Aside from initiating a Chat (text or voice/video) from the XMB above your Friends list, you must have certain ports and settings configured on your Router for proper PS3-PS3 and PS3-PSN communication.Your Router must have Network Address Translation (NAT) and UPnP (Plug 'n Play) settings Enabled for Chat functions to work properly. In addition, the following ports must be setup for Port Forwarding (Single or Range) or Port Triggering:ROUTER NAT AND UPnP MODES - ENABLED*Note: Make sure to enable these TCP/UDP ports in BOTH directions (i.e, for Routers that have TCP, UDP, and Both for settings, set them to Both. If your Router doesn't have that type of setting, set the Port to either TCP or UDP as indicated, and enable the pass-through in both directions (full duplex))TCP Ports: 10070 - 10080 UDP Ports: 10070 Voice Chat: UDP 6000-7000, 10070 (for headset operation) Remote Play via Access Point: TCP 9293PLAYSTATION Network: TCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223 UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658If you're not sure how to setup your Router, go to my long post on the subject at the PS3 Forums (Link below). It has screen shots so you can see how it's done.
