I Want To VENT

[TIP-TOE]

WHY ?............Why when sometimes, some days, but not all, is it that you cant always connect with your friends in COD4 ? What is the science behind this occurrance ? It is maken me mad as hell at times, I just wanna toss the disc like a frisbie ! This happens to myself and members of my clan, [tdH]. Some days it really gets my blood boiling. I really like this game.....really I do......but DAMN ! I HATE THIS GAME !!

So, would some one please educate me ? ! TY

For me it all depends on the "NAT"

I'm not sure if it is the same on PS3, but im sure Goat could fill in the rest, & help you & your clan to make sure they are set up best to connect to each other.

 

For me i know riught away if we cant connect, i have to log off go test my connection & most of the time the "NAT" will say Moderate or Strict, which means i need to reset my router, then when i test it again it says Open which means if there are any issues connecting it isn't me. ;D

So then we move on to the next guy who is having trouble or is in the room that needs to log out & check his "NAT" and so on..

 

IF everyone's "NAT" is open there is never a problem, so im guessing it is you or one of your clanmates' NAT that is causing the problem.

 

That is my cliff notes version, but like i said let Goat help you out with more details & possibly a PS3 senario.

I don't know I never have those problems.

Disciple, check our forums at the link. Shane has a pretty comprehensive PS3 set-up/troubleshooting forum set up. Hope it helps.

What NAT type is Pito runnin? Nat Type plays a role, at least thats what I have been told.

[TIP-TOE]

Ahhh......NAT TYPE. I think thats where the answer may lie. I know that some people are not computer literate enough (myself) to find and or change this setting, if it is accessible on your own behalf. I would imagine it might be in some cases set by your service provider, maybe ? Well, cant speculate, might want to check out what BIG MONEY...suggested. Hey, thanks everyone for the input.

[[-VR-] Tool_Minion]

You can check under the PS3 network settings to see what nat type your running.

 

Another thing I suggest is running a Network test. Not only will you see your NAT type ( 1 or 2 is what you need) but it may refresh your connection enough to straighten everything out without you having to manipulate the settings on your router/ modem.

COD=garbage ;D

my NAT is 3 is that bad?

How did you know if someone said a 1 or 2 is good pito would say he has a 3 lol

[[-VR-] Tool_Minion]

Yeah Pito, NAT type 3 is bad. You need to adjust your modem/router settings. I will try to find you a thread on it if you want to post up what type of Modem/router your running.

[[*N*]Sal0713]

LoL nat 3 means that either your connection sucks or your router needs some ports open, if you want write down your router brand and Model No. and ill get you the instruction on how to open them to that specific router. but if you dont have a router and is only a modem then get a new connection.
