Not sure on what NAT stands for.....:P?

Question

"2. Your NAT is strict and cannot connect to games. To fix this problem go to your computer and open your router page. From here go to your internet connection and disable your NAT. This will lower the security that allows you to share with others allowing you to join others games." Told to me by another player on to Help me get online for COD:MW2 - PS3 , Explain what is a NAT? And how to get to my router page....?

Answer 1

NAT is Network Address Translation. Basically it's how you can have multiple computers/playstations/xbox's all on the same Internet Connection.



Your Internet Provider gives you an address of aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd (where each of those represent a number between 0 and 255). Your router then takes each of your computers and gives them an internal address - usually on the 192.168.ccc.ddd address range.



Your playstation has one address, your computer another, and so on. Well, when COD:MW2 from another playstation tries to send a request to yours, it sends it to the public address (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) - your router doesn't know who it goes to, so it discards it.



The way to get around this is to tell your router that all requests that are on certain ports (COD:MW2 uses UDP 1500 (outbound), UDP 3005 (outbound), UDP 3101 (outbound), UDP 28960) to go to only your playstation.



To do this though, you need to know the internal address for your playstation.

1. Power up the PlayStation 3 without any disc in the drive.

2. Once the PlayStation 3 operating system has loaded, select Settings.

3. Once you are in Settings select Network Settings.

4. When the Network Settings list appears, select the first option which is titled Settings and Connection Status List.

5. The physical address will be listed under MAC Address.



Write down this physical address.



Go to your router with a web page. Usually will be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.10.1 depending on who makes it.

There will be a place to put in these paths; unfortunately, there are too many possibilities to list. Go to your router manufacturer's website to get instructions or your manual.



Oh, and be very careful in there if you don't know what you're doing - screwing that up can cause a lot of headaches.



Good luck!

Answer 2

Network address translation (NAT) is the process of modifying network address information in datagram packet headers while in transit across a traffic routing device for the purpose of remapping a given address space into another.



You get to your router page by your web browser



Most common address are



192.168.0.1

192.168.1.1

(windows xp)

You can find your routers ip address by going to Start run type in cmd press enter a black box will open type ipconfig it will be your ip address a subnet mask and default gateway. The default gateway is generally your routers ip address. Or just go over to your router and look up the manufacture website.

Answer 3

NAT stands for Network Address Translation.

Answer 4

Your NAT stands for Network Address Translation. What your gonna have to do is go into your router setting, there should be a setting called port forwarding. What you will have to do is allow all traffic.

Answer 5

NAT is Network address translation, it's what internet devices use to resolve internal IP addresses to external IP addresses.



As for getting to your router page, type your default gateway in your internet browser URL bar

Answer 6

You can't "disable your NAT" without turning your router off. NAT is what allows you to run more than one device (computer, game) on one modem.



Go to http://www.portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/PS3_Call_of_Duty_4_Modern_Warfare/PS3_Call_of_Duty_4_Modern_Warfareindex.htm pick your router and follow the instructions. (Look for your modem too. If it's there, read http://www.webdingers.com/router.html first.
