Re: PS3 NAT Type 3

I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to change my NAT type from 3 to 2 so that I can use voice comms in games.. I set the PS3 IP address as static and forwarded the PS3 ports but on the internet connection settings screen on the ps3 it says UPnP not enabled. How do I fix this ?

Re: PS3 NAT Type 3

On the PS3 chose 'Internet Connection Settings'
On 'Select a Setting Method' chose 'Custom'.
Work your way through the settings until you come to 'UPnP' which should be set to 'Enable'. If not change it.

Re: PS3 NAT Type 3

My own PS3 has uPNP enabled and NAT type 2...so far so good.
Now I play Black Ops and it tells me my NAT is Moderate and that I might lose connections....which I occasionally do.
So I gave my PS3 a static IP and stuck it in the DMZ (something I don't like doing).
Now Black OPs tells me my NAT is Open so I will see how things go.
Someone on an AV forum suggested putting MW2 in first, taking it out and putting Black Ops in as an alternative to the above.
