PS3 Ps3 NAT type stuck at NAT 3

[BobTheDuck]

So ive tried alot of tutorials and forwarded ps3 ports but my NAT type still says 3 and i cant play some games online. Any ideas?

Bypass router, see if your cable/dsl/fiber/etc modem requires port forward also.

I have seen in one scenario the ISP was using a single public IP for over 300 people....which caused the nat type of consoles to be strict\type 3\etc instead of public/open. MOST LIKELY it is not the issue, but if all else checks out, it's an avenue to investigate. Mind you, if you have comcast, xfinity, google fiber, directTV, att, time warner, cox, or any other name brand internet, instead of some backwoods internet service for rural areas, this would not apply at all.

Can you describe your network setup? What kind of equipment you're using and how it's hooked up.

Log into gateway and find DMZ. Put your PS3's local IP address.

If your equipment has DMZ. Best describefirst.
