Hi everyone,

I am currently using a Belkin Router with my Virgin Media Internet connection. Everything works fine, and i can access the internet from anywhere.

I have connected my PS3 by wire to the router. When playing certain games though, like Call Of Duty 4, i am able to play games online, but i can't invite my friends to a game or be invited to their game.

I think i know what the problem is. When looking at the connection settings, i can see that UPNP is enabled and my NAT Type is 3....i think the NAT type is where the problem is....

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the NAT Type to change, or if someone could recommend a router (both wired and wireless) that will work straight out of the box.

Alternatively, if there is something that i have to do to change the NAT Type then please let me know.

Am i supposed to have UPNP enabled or disabled? i have it enabled at the moment...
