Q. I have a NAT type 3 and I need a NAT 2. I have a LinkSys E1000 cisco router that is set up wirelessly. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! Any information is helpful.
A. I'll help if I can ! Just be patient ! It gets a bit lengthy !
Similar to strict, moderate or open on an Xbox 360, the PS3 offers Type 3, Type 2 and Type 1 NAT results. These break down as follows:
Type 1 - Connected directly to the internet (no router/firewall). Should have no issues.
Type 2 - Connected through a router properly. Should have no issues.
Type 3 - Connected through a router without open ports or DMZ setup for PS3. Everything should function properly, but you may have connection, voice chat or other issues.
While most everything will function properly regardless of what your NAT setting is, your best bet is to set up your PS3 so that you can obtain a Type 1 or Type 2 NAT. Since most of us have routers at home for connecting multiple computers or devices to the internet, chances are the best we will get will be Type 2. Thankfully that's fine and everything will work properly.
If you have not adjusted your settings on your PS3 or router, chances are you have a Type 3 NAT and probably never knew it. With a few simple changes you too can have a Type 2 NAT.
The first thing you will want to do is check your network connection. Head on over to the Network Settings tab on the XMB.
Once there choose the Internet Connection Test item.
The warning reads: "When the NAT type is type 3, chat or the communication features of games may be restricted. For more information, refer to the online instruction manual."
If you run the test and you have Type 3, read on for help on opening up your NAT.
In order to open up your NAT on your PS3 you will need to make an adjustment on your PS3 and on your router. First you will want to set up your PS3 for a static IP address. This means turning off DHCP and assigning your PS3 a single, static IP address. Before you start this process head over to the network tab on the XMB and choose "Internet Connection Status." From here note your current IP address, your subnet mask, your default router and primary and secondary DNS settings. Write these down, you will need them in the following steps.
To do this, visit the Internet Connection Settings tab on the XMB.
From here most of the settings can simply be passed through with default settings. There are two areas, however, that you have to change. The first is choosing a Custom address setting (instead of Easy).
Remember the settings you wrote down from your status page? You will need them here. You will have to enter in the static IP Address you want to assign to your PS3, the Subnet Mask (which is usually 255.255.255.0), the default router (the IP address of your router, most often 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.100.1), and the Primary and Secondary DNS settings. You will have to input all of these numbers. This is made much easier with a DVD Remote or keyboard.
Please NOTE - You will want to set the last number of your IP address high enough that other wireless or wired items on your network will not be assigned the same number through DHCP. While DHCP had chosen .3 as an IP address for my PS3 initially, I bumped it up to .23 because I have less than 23 items in my network. If you do not have DHCP enabled on your router, you do not need to worry about this and can simply choose an IP address that does not conflict with your other devices and which is available through your router.
Once you have all of the settings input, press X to save them. Your settings will change and the PS3 will offer to perform an Internet Connection Test for you. If you let it do the test now chances are you will still get a Type 3 NAT connection. Don't fret little bear, we still have one more step.
In addition to making the necessary changes on your PS3, you will also have to open up some ports on your router. The ports you need to open are:
TCP: 80, 443, 5223
UDP: 5223, 3478, 3479, 3658
Depending on what type of router you have, your settings page may look different. In order to obtain an open or Type 2 NAT, you will need to open those ports listed above. Go to the link and find your router manufacturer and model follow the instructions for opening ports !
Once you have forwarded these ports and saved your settings its a good idea to unplug and plug back in your router. This will refresh everything on your network connected to your router. Once done head back to your PS3 and perform an Internet Connection Test.
Congratulations, your NAT is now setup and working properly! Happy gaming !

How to get a linksys E1000 wireless router to work with Comcast broadband modem?
Q. Okay so I got everything hooked up correctly ( I double checked) I even rebooted both the wireless router and the comcast broadband modem but the internet and Wi-Fi won't work. How can I get the internet and Wi-Fi to work?
A. The basic idea is that your modem is not assigning the correct information to your wireless router or your wireless router is not getting the correct info from the modem.
Make sure your router is grabbing the ip address the subnetmask and the default gateway from the modem itself. You need to get into the routers config page to access the browser-based utility, launch the web browser on your computer, and enter the Router�s default Internet Protocol (IP) address, 192.168.1.1 Then press Enter. A login screen will appear. (Non-Windows 7 users will see a similar screen.) Leave the User name field blank. Then enter the password you set up during the setup software. (If you did not run the setup software, then use the default password, admin. Your routers manual is located here http://www.winotek.com/multimedia/items/E1000_V10_UG_USA_NC-WEB,0.PDF (you need adobe pdf reader to view it. which can be downloaded here http://get.adobe.com/reader/.) Make sure to uncheck the Free McAfee® Security Scan Plus (optional) (0.98 MB) software.
If you can press Edit on your question here and then press Add details and write in the MODEL NUMBER of your comcast broadband modem. It should be written somewhere on your modem either on a sticker on the back or on the modem itself, you need this number to determine how to get into the modems network settings page to check the network address settings. If you need further help please feel free to click my name and then click email, and send me a message.
