Terminator Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I take it that importing a new router would be out of the question ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hmm I guess so, don't I have to use the router that the ISP provides? Plus my parents paid for it and sorted it out, so dunno if they'd let me fiddle around with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Unless your ISP made your parents sign some kind of contract which specifically prevents you from changing routers, there's no reason why you can't swap it out for another one (unless the cost of a new one is prohibitively expensive).

I did some more in-depth research (turned my router over and looked at the back ) and realised the manufacturer is in fact Huawei and the Model number is B683. I dunno if that helps at all?

Darth_Krid Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Ask and you shall receive : Port Forwarding PlayStation Network on the Huawei B683 - PortForward.com Brilliant! Thanks mate That's exactly what my router looks like in the browser. Now you see why I thought Viva was the manufacturer One final question, should I take my PS3 out of the DMZ? I did that last but it had no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 It's not advisable to have both Port Forwarding and the PS3 in the DMZ as that will cause more problems that it solves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Alright, so should I take it out by connecting my PS3 to the router automatically rather than manual, or should i just choose the "diasble" option in my router gateway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Try both and see what happens . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Alright, I've disabled my DMZ and I've assigned a static IP to my PS3. Now, I'm following the guide you linked me to, and I'm up to "Entry #1". However, it comes up saying "The IP address is empty or invalid. Please type again!" Which IP address should I put into "LAN IP address?" Everything in my house is wireless btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 According to the page I linked to, nothing should go into that box . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Exactly, so I didn't put anything in. But that's what it says. So should I put my normal IP address in? And what's the difference between LAN and WLAN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 LAN stands for "Local Area Network" i.e a wired internal network of computers like what businesses have and a "WLAN" is the same only it's wireless instead of wired. As for your other question, it's worth a try but if it doesn't work then I'm stumped . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Maybe the IP address isn't filled in on that site because it differs for everyone? EDIT: Tried entering my IP address as 192.168.1.1 (same as I put into the broswer bar to get into the router) and it said the same thing about invalid IP address Edited November 23, 2012 by Darth_Krid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Try taking a screenshot of that menu, I may be able to see what the problem is that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) I found the problem! If you go on that site, under "DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP" it says to enter Static IP. I didn't note it in there, I wrote it down. When I clicked on that box and typed in my static IP, that box changed for every port Going to try it now, although I haven't created a static IP for my computer yet, just my PS3. EDIT: At the end of my fucking tether with this. Put my PS3 in a DMZ first last night, and that didn't work. Now I forwarded the 6 ports that Jack suggests in this thread. Still nothing. I tried to forward the 19 ports that was suggested in Terminator's link, but apparently my router will only let me do a max of 8, so abandoned that. Really don't know what else I can do. Apparently my UPnP is disabled on my PS3, if that makes any difference. Edited November 23, 2012 by Darth_Krid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 UPnP must be enabled for PSN to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well I tried to enable it by manually setting up my IP again, and I chose "enable" rather than "disable", but it still says "Not Available" in my connection test settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I think you're going to have to talk to your ISP as it's sounding more and more like a problem at their end . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 If I can get any sense out of them at all Will try tomorrow. Thanks for all your help anyway mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluscombe Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Ok so I am having the Vita Nat 3 issue - not sure if this is the correct thread for vita or not. My Two PS3's (both wireless) are Nat 2 but for the life of me I can't get the damn Vita away from Nat 3. I have tried Port Forwarding and putting it in the DMZ (can't even connect when I do that) but nothing works. I'm starting to think it is just my router - TG782T (on BigPond in Australia by the way). Any help? EDIT: I changed my router and it fixed my problem Edited March 13, 2013 by luckyluscombe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 My NAT type is 2 according to the PS3 and some online tests but on call of duty, only call of duty mind you it always says strict... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Some games (like Call of Duty and Bulletstorm) have a bug in them that erroneously says you have a moderate/strict NAT when you haven't. There is very little, if anything, you can do about this bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHChiBulls Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) So the best Nat settings are 1 and 2? Nat 3 is not what you want? I am convinced I have read online that Nat 3 is the best setting to have. This guide makes Nat 3 sound like a big pile of crap. In any case I'm on Nat 2 and apart from the last couple nights when its been slow as hell (200MB took 30 minutes to download), the setting has been nothing but excellent.

Terminator Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 NAT 3 is the worst thing you can have as it heavily restricts you can play with, plus it makes voice chat near impossible . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
