http://www.youtube.com/user/cashcroppimp

on how to open your NAT he has a
verizon fios tutorial vid if your using verizon fios and ive also posted my vid as a response to his when he approves it there will be a link to it.He was also like the 2nd or 3rd person to comment here as well.


UPDATE 2:After many comments from people that say this doesnt work for them if it doesnt work for you and you've done everything ive said here im sorry but i cant help but there are many more NAT vids here on Youtube(check them out)The only reason i posted this vid is because this fixed my friends NAT and i figured enabing UnPn worked but that would be 1 of 4 ways of doing it.

UPDATE:THIS ALSO WORKS FOR MODEMS AS WELL!!

This video explains how to fix your NAT(Network Association Translation ((hopefully thats right))

Its a common problem that isnt hard to fix that makes matchmaking slow(especially HALO 3!!)sending voice messages etc.(anything xbox live/and mabey ps3 online related)

I'll explain it here as well if you couldnt hear/see.

Go to My Computer then click My Network Places then click View Network Connections double click your current internet then click on the tab Security then look for your Default Gateway number type that into your internet browser(address bar where u type a website)hit enter then hopefully you come to a homepage click on System Settings(or the like)and enable UPNP Settings then apply changes.

You can check if it worked by testing your xbox live connection or if you play Halo 3 you shouldnt see your NAT warning sign(there may be other games that warn you your NAT isnt fully open)

Extra:Your NAT allows your computer/console to communicate with other people/computers/consoles like sending messages via Xbox Live or connecting to Matchmaking(it DOES NOT make your computer/console more vulnerable to virus/trojans/spyware it is safe if you ever hope to play matchmaking smoothly you need to have your NAT open)

Note that this is not the only way of doing it its just the only way I know how(even if your NAT is already open its helpful to know how to fix this incase you run into it or a freind does).

If you are using a router to distribute wireless waves and are hooking up with another router(gaming router)atm i still cant figure out how to open that NAT but it seems as fast if it were Open.

@halo3productions911 Sigh* I've tried everything, DMZ ENABLED, Ports all forwarded, guess my life is just all fucked up, :(

[halo3productions911]

@itachi005 Well with DMZ enabled, you have to make sure the IP address you put in the DMZ is your PS3. I'd also recommend you create a reservation for your PS3 so the IP address doesn't change.

[halo3productions911]

@itachi005 And if all else fails, call your ISP. It's gotta be something on their end.

[halo3productions911]

@itachi005 Well do exactly as I have listed above. Leaving out TCP or UDP when specified could definitely cause you to continue to have issues.

[itachi005]

@halo3productions911 i've forwarded all those ports except for 8080 tcp and the 3478 and 3479 put it to only udp not tcp, are u suppose to put them to both? or a specific protocol? does it have to be 3478 UDP and then 3478 TCP or 3478 BOTH

[halo3productions911]

@itachi005 Well, still enable UPnP for PS3. If that doesn't work, forward ports 3478, 3479, 3480, 5223, 8080 TCP, and ports 3478, 3479 UDP.

[itachi005]

@halo3productions911 but i have a ps3 D=

but thanks anyways for replying back, i appreciate it

[halo3productions911]

@itachi005 Don't even worry about it. You wouldn't want to disable NAT.

First, enable UPnP. If that fails, forward port 88 (UDP) and port 3074 (UDP and TCP) to your Xbox 360's IP Address.

[itachi005]

dude wtf? it doesnt say NAT Enable or Disable on my router! :( please help

[halo3productions911]

@Domar251 Nope. Network Address Translation.
