How to Make a PS3 NAT 2

Having a NAT Type 2 connection on your PlayStation 3 means that the security of your PlayStation online account is set to "Open." If your NAT type is set to 1 or 3, you will have difficulty connecting to other friends or an online game. You can easily change your PS3 NAT connection to Type 2 by altering the settings on your network's router.
