Can’t trickshot me!
Let me start off by saying that there are tons of tutorials like this one on the Internet. This tutorial is no different than the existing ones but just a little bit more cleaned up for the uber noobs among us

Tired of having that strict or moderate NAT Type in Black ops,
ruining your entire parties and games ?
Here is your answer!
We are basically going to use the DMZ (Demilitarized zone) function of your router in order to maximize your connection to your PS3.

Here is your answer!
We are basically going to use the DMZ (Demilitarized zone) function of your router in order to maximize your connection to your PS3.
Step 1:
First you need to find your routers "default gateway".
On your computer type "cmd" in the start menu. You should now get the black & white command prompt of windows. Type in "ipconfig" and look for "default gateway".
Note down the numbers as we are going to use it a lot in this tutorial.
Mine is for example 192.168.1.1
Step 2:On your computer type "cmd" in the start menu. You should now get the black & white command prompt of windows. Type in "ipconfig" and look for "default gateway".
Note down the numbers as we are going to use it a lot in this tutorial.
Mine is for example 192.168.1.1
Now go on your ps3, go to Settings > Network Settings > "Internet Connection Settings" option on the PS3 Cross bar menus.
Select "Wired" or wireless" (choose the one that refers to you).
Both selections should show a page called "Address Settings". Here you will need to select "Custom".
Another page will then display entitled "IP Address Setting". The option "Manual" will need to be selected.
Now a page of customizable ip addresses can be entered. This is the important part...
Ip address - This will need the static ip internal address , don't worry lol u dont need to understand. In our case we are goin to enter 192.168.1.100 as it is unlikely 99 other devices are connected to the same router.
Subnet Mask - Is always set to 255.255.255.0
Default router - now enter the "default gateway" address you got earlier from your computer
Primary DNS - Same IP Address as "Default Router"
Secondary DNS - Same IP Address as "Default Router"
Select "Enter" and a "MTU" screen should come up (i don't know what the hell MTU is). Just select "automatic" and then select "Do not use proxy" on the next screen.
Step 3:Select "Wired" or wireless" (choose the one that refers to you).
Both selections should show a page called "Address Settings". Here you will need to select "Custom".
Another page will then display entitled "IP Address Setting". The option "Manual" will need to be selected.

Secondary DNS - Same IP Address as "Default Router"
Select "Enter" and a "MTU" screen should come up (i don't know what the hell MTU is). Just select "automatic" and then select "Do not use proxy" on the next screen.
Now go back on your PC, open your web browser and enter that "default gateway" address into the address bar.
A login authorization prompt may come up and you will need to enter your username and password (should be somewhere in the user manual for the router).
If your using a linksys router like me leave the username box empty and enter "admin" for the password.
Step 4:A login authorization prompt may come up and you will need to enter your username and password (should be somewhere in the user manual for the router).
If your using a linksys router like me leave the username box empty and enter "admin" for the password.
A router configuration page should show up showing many settings and options you will have no clue about (note that all router configuration interfaces are different depending on the make of the router, so the settings/preferences will be in different places).
All your interested in is finding a setting named as "DMZ" of anything with "DMZ" in it. So search around in all the tabs and settings for the mention of "DMZ" (it might be in your security/firewall settings).
Once you have found it, there should be an option of enabling it. Do so and then enter the static ip address you gave your ps3 earlier; the example i gave was 192.168.1.100. So enter that and select "apply" or "save changes".
[OPTIONAL] Whilst your on there try and find a setting of "UPnP" and make sure thats enabled aswell.
Step 5:All your interested in is finding a setting named as "DMZ" of anything with "DMZ" in it. So search around in all the tabs and settings for the mention of "DMZ" (it might be in your security/firewall settings).
Once you have found it, there should be an option of enabling it. Do so and then enter the static ip address you gave your ps3 earlier; the example i gave was 192.168.1.100. So enter that and select "apply" or "save changes".
[OPTIONAL] Whilst your on there try and find a setting of "UPnP" and make sure thats enabled aswell.
Now turn off every system connected to your router including the router, computers, ps3 etc. This is done so the changes can take place asap. Wait a 30-40 secs and then turn your router and ps3 back on and the process is complete.
Step 6 (double check): Now once your PS3 is restarted do an "Internet connection test". You should get UPnP available (optional), NAT Type 2 and 192.168.1.100 as our static internal IP !!
After starting up Black Ops you should also see in multiplayer that your NAT Type is open. If not a quick restart of your PS3 & router should fix it
If you do not get this IP than start again at step 2. You must have done someting wrong.
After starting up Black Ops you should also see in multiplayer that your NAT Type is open. If not a quick restart of your PS3 & router should fix it
If that didn't fix it either than you must have entered the DMZ settings in your router homepage wrong.
Otherwise I do not have a solution for your problem.
Have fun playing Black Ops with your new sick connection. :mudkip:Otherwise I do not have a solution for your problem.

@ guys who still have problems:
If you have triple checked all of your settings and you are pretty sure everything you did is right and you still have problems, than the only thing i can say is: get a better router.
Because what DMZ does is just putting your ps3 straight on your modem (no firewall, router or anything in between). That means internet directly to your ps3 without any checks.
NAT types are moderate & strict when there is some sort of a firewall or system between your ps3 and the internet. DMZ should solve this, unless your router is so old that he can't handle DMZ properly.
Oh and the UPnP, it stands for universal plug & play. Which means that everytime your put the ethernet cable into your ps3 you do not have to restart your ps3 in order to get internet. But most routers should have already enabled this by default now.
I'm sorry if this thread didn't help you out, but it certainly did for me.

A quick google learned me that some other people too have problems with DMZ mode and a Belkin router.
Maybe google like me for "belkin dmz" and you might find an answer.

Me modem allows only 1 DMZ computer on my connection, which is set to the ps3. Connection speed is in my signature. I seem to always pull a 4 bar when by myself. With a party, it's a 50/50 between a 3 bar and a 4 bar. I don't get host too much, but it seems to be worse for me to be host. I don't lag internetwise, but I lag gamewise. I drop frames, but I give people a 4 bar most of the time.
