Mr. God here!
Im going to show you a little guide/tutorial if you will to set up a static IP address for your PlayStation, and to set set your router to DMZ to your PlayStation.

Fixing your Nat is a simple process. It involves assigning a static IP address to your PS3, and the setting your router to DMZ mode forwarding it to your PlayStation's IP address.

First, to get a static IP adress on your PS3, you must know some of the information from your router. This requires a PC.

1) Make sure the PC is on and connected to the internet through your router.
2) Click the "start button"
3) Click "run"
4) Type: cmd
5) Click "OK"
6) Type (in the black window): ipconfig /all
7) You will see a long list of words and numbers.

Write down the following from the list:

• Default Gateway
  
• DNS Servers (only the first 2)
  
• Subnet Mask
  
• DCHP Server
  

Thats all you need from the PC for now. Double check your numbers and make sure they are correct.

8*) Go into your PS3
9) Select Network Settings under the Settings Menu
10)Select Internet Connection Settings
11)Instead of choosing Easy, we will do things the complicated way. Press right until you get to Address setting, and then choose custom.
12)Go right until you get to the page that says" Select the operation mode of the selected device. and choose manual settings.
13) Now continue until you get to the page with all of the numbers on it (presets are all zeros)


Enter the information as follows:

• Enter your Primary DNS as the 1st DNS number you got earlier from your PC
  
• Enter your Secondary DNS as the 2nd DNS Number you got from your PC
  
• Enter your Default Gateway (linksys default was 192.168.1.1)
  
• Enter your Subnet Mask (linksys default was 255.255.255.0)
  
• To make it easy, use 192.168.1.23 as the IP address
  

14) Go to the right (selecting all the pre-selected setting) until you get to the screen that says "press X to save" do so, and press "test connection on the next screen.

There you go, your PS3 now has a static IP address.

The Next thing you have to do is to go back on your computer and type in 192.168.1.1 into your browser <--(this is linksys's default router ip address)

A screen will pop up asking you for your username and password. If you haven't changed the default username and password, then the default username will be: administrator and the password will be: admin

your router settings will then pop up. depending on what router you have and what firmware update you have the settings will look different.
for linksys router's you will see a tab that says "applications & gaming" select this tab.

Once you select this tab, you will then see another set of tabs under it, select the one that says DMZ.

On this page you will have to do 2 things. one, you will have to enable DMZ. The second thing you will have to do is under the destination type in your ps3's IP address that you just set up a little while ago.

If you are using some other kind of router, just look for anything that says dmz and then put your ps3's ip address in.
DONT FORGET TO SAVE YOUR SETTINGS and exit your router.

Now turn everything off that is connected to your router, once everything is turned off turn them back on and enjoy an OPEN nat type.

Hope this helps.

Mr. God

This is about all I know about this so I may not be able to help you with your questions.

wow man good job, it helped a lot.

does DMZ create any kind of risk for the rest of my network? or does it just affect my ps3?

Thanks nice tut

Thanks bro , my m8 is having some issues at the moment this should come in handie
Keep it up

This is good thank you.

No worries guys.
Here to help!!

thanks! works

If this guide doesn't work, you might need to bridge your modem and your router, I had to do that to get back to Open Nat Type even after following this and many other tutorials.

This does work, you may just have a 'special' sort of modem. Or you just didn't really follow the guides properly.
