NAT types
1 = Connected directly to internet with no router (Modem-PS3)
2 = Router conection with no interference. (Modem-Router-PS3)
3 = Router connection with interference (The problem is when you are trying to voice chat with people in online matches)
Now I did this about 10 minutes ago and I must say that I had to go and find out most of the info by the own router's manual.....Because not enough people stress this issue.If you have arouter it is most likely that you have NAT types 2 or 3.If you have type 2 then you don't have to worry as you're fine and can chat without problems.However if you have type 3,you should keep on reading.
When you go to network settings and internet connection test, it will state what type of NAT you have.If it is NAT type 3 it will say you might have restricted access to in-game chat right? So what is most likely your problem as it was mine is that you have to enable your router's DMZ settings with your PS3. Sounds complicated right? Not really.....All you have to do if you have a NAT type 3 is go to your router's managing screen and search for DMZ settings.once you find it it will ask what is your PS3's IP. So all you have to do is go to network settings, then settings and connection status list and see the IP adress there. Then type that in the DMZ settings and enable it. Then do the internet connection test again on your PS3 and you should be an NAT type 2 by now.
I found this on the PS3 forums I do not take full credit for this.
If this helps then please +rep

I tried but still on Nat Type 3. My router sucks and doesn't have DMZ settings for some stupid reason.

im always NAT type 2 but when everyone else in my house isnt using the internet i plug directly into my Modem and then im NAT type 1 and its a lot faster it seems to me so if your the only one using the internet try plugging into the modem directly youll have better then NAt type 3 for a least a little while.
