Re: Help with PS3 NAT Type

I have heard that but even with the satellite I've played good games of Killzone 2 and when my friend and I play Uncharted 2 co op, it's lag free.
It's actually getting into the game is where the problem is.

So basically it won't find a server when I ask it to but if the game has a server list, I'm cool.

I figure if I get Nat 2, I'll be cool because it can find the servers the games are hosting. I literally left Uncharted 2 looking for a server for 15 minutes and when I invited my friend, it was absolutely lag free.

Some games don't let me connect with my friends, like Resident Evil 5 and Borderlands and it's because of the Nat type.

I put the PS3 in my room just now, where it has about a 70% connection, and I got into a Killzone 2 match without lag. It just takes longer to sign in to PSN and the servers.

if google.com has a 600-1400ms lag, i assume Killzone 2 has plenty of lag. but i totally understand the need to just get it to work. google has a bunch of guides on how to get an open nat. i checked.

the lag isnt between your room and the router... it is between your satellite dish and outer space and maryland.

No I get where the lag is, I'm just saying Killzone 2 is very much playable.
I figure even if the "lag" is still there, the Nat type change will help me get into the "laggy" matches faster, or at all in MW2 and Uncharted 2's case.

I can't seem to find a good guide and a link would be greatly appreciated.

I really appreciate this moag.

from what i am reading, the nat 3 error has more to do with your router settings (UPnP, port forwarding) than your provider. i dont really want to give you a link because I do not have a ps3 myself, and you can probably find a better one than me by adding your specific router to the search and such... you also might want to see if dd-wrt has special router firmware designed for the ps3. i know they do for the xbox that works great

tip - get a piece of paper out. write down anything you change in case you screw up.

I don't know how to get into the UPnP (or any other settings) with Hughesnet to be honest. I can with any other router but not this one. It's the HN 9000 one they gave me.

I think if I could get that I can do it.

spend a few days poking around... you have a lot to learn before you conquer port forwarding the hughesnet modem has nothing to do with any of that, you need to access your router.

probably »192.168.1.1/ or »192.168.2.1/ depending on your router

remember, write down anything you change.

I think I'm reluctant to actually think because I remember more than a month ago I spent hours and hours across a week trying to get it to work. It obviously didn't.

What I'm trying to say is I can't get into my Hughesnet router settings, so I can't forward ports.
If someone could tell me this, that'd be great.

unless you have a business account, you dont have a static ip... and even if you have a static ip, you dont have a real static ip

its over your head and not worth the effort at all. abandon hope
