Hi All,
Just spent about an hour and a half trying to play online with a mate, but have been unable to connect to his hosted session and vice versa.
Looking online at solutions and changing firewall settings, setting up port forwarding and a DMZ didn't seem to work, however doing something really simple did... In MW3 multiplayer it says, NAT type restricted, however, looking at the PS network settings it says NAT Type 2 which is open.
To fix it, all I did was insert MW2, went to multiplayer and it says open!! - hit eject on the PS3, inserted MW3, loaded it up, went to multiplayer and hey presto it now says open rather than restricted.
I even switched off the PS3 and on again, loaded the game up again and it still says open. Brilliant.
How rubbish is that? Such a popular game (personally think it's overrated) and they can't get something as simple as being able to play a private game with yours friends right.
Madness.
