I've been trying for the past two days now to make my NAT go from strict to open so I can play with my friends on PSN. I've gone through so many tutorials, guides and threads on this issue and I still can't figure out why my NAT is still strict. I've probably done almost everything. I set up a static IP on my PS3. I forwarded the ports that I've been told to forward on portforward.com. I have UPnP enabled on both my router and PS3. I set the option on my router for NAT filtering on open (the other option is secure). My modem's firewall is turned off. Yet...after all this my NAT is still type 3 on my PS3. If I could get any help on resolving this issue, I'd be so grateful. At this point, I honestly think even a moderate NAT for me would be a miracle. Thanks for your time! P.S. If you need any more information, please let me know.
