my seting in router are

Respond to Ping on Internet Port
Disable IGMP Proxying
MTU Size(in bytes)
NAT Filtering	Secured Open
Disable SIP ALG

You may have to check with your ISP about setting up IPv6.  You could always try Auto Detect and see if the router can figure it out by itself.

Your settings are not displaying properly.

Make sure there is only one router in your network.  If your ISP box is also a router, then put it into bridge mode or convert your R8000 into an Access Point.

Then perform the following steps on whatever device is acting as the router.

1. If available, set NAT filtering to Open.  On Netgear, this is in WAN Setup.  An ISP box may not necessarily have this setting or it may be called something different.
2. Enable UPnP
3. Reserve an IP address for your console.  On Netgear, this is in LAN Setup.  If the ISP box can't do this, then configure a static IP address on your console.  Make sure it's outside of the range of IP addresses managed by your DHCP server.  Otherwise, you run the risk of duplicate IP addresses.  Change the range, if necessary to free up an IP address.

Reboot the console.

i only have one router,

nat filtering is          open,

UPnP is               enabled. 

How do i reserve an IP address 

here are the settings in LAN Setup

Device name                    R800

IP Address                       192.168.1.1

IP Subnet Mask                255.255.255.0

RIP Direction                     Both

RIP Version                      Disabled

Use Router as DHCP Server           is checked

Starting IP Address        192.168.1.2

Ending IP Address          192.168.1.254

[heikeg]

ok i found out how to  reserve an IP address  when i turn the ps3 on it tells me the ip address is 192.169.1.3 so i add that ip to address reservation but my ps3 is still strict nat type . yes i did reboot the router anything else i can do ? i try to connect wiresless and over cable to my router both giving me strict nat type. could it have something to do wth my internet provider? 

[TheEther]

Your Internet provider could have something to do with it.  Is the IP address on the R8000 Internet port in any of these address ranges?

• 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

[heikeg]

how can i check if  the IP address is on the R8000 Internet port

[TheEther]

Log onto the R8000 and click on Internet.

[heikeg]

this is what i see when i go to internet

Does your Internet connection require a login?     NO

Account Name                     R8000

Internet IP Address      

Get Dynamically from ISP is checked  

Use Static IP Address  is unchecked 

IP Address          100.109.29.83

IP Subnet Mask        255.255.224.0

Gateway IP Address       100.109.0.1

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address

Get Automatically from ISP is checked

Router MAC Address

Use Default Address is checked

[TheEther]

Ok, it's your ISP.  IP address 100.109.29.83 is a private IP address.  Your ISP may be using carrier grade NAT.

You have two options.

1. Rent a public IPv4 address from your ISP.
2. If your ISP supports IPv6, then enable it on your router.

i been with the internet provider for almost two years never had a problem with the nat type. last sunday the internet was down for almost all day i called them and they said they had some problems but will get fixed soon. ever since then i have strict nat type. do you think they just did that last sunday when they told me they had problems? and why would they do something like that?

[TheEther]

As you may or may not know, there are not enough public IPv4 addresses to go around on the Internet.  The last unassigned IPv4 address was taken a few years ago.  Ever since then, smaller ISPs have had to resort to using NAT in order accommodate more customers than the number of public IPv4 addresses that they own.  It is certainly possible that your ISP may have switched to using NAT last Sunday.

You should log onto your ISP's website and look for any announcements.

[heikeg]

when i go to IPv6 i have different options which one should i use

AUTO DETECT

6TO4 TUNNEL

PASS THROUGH

FIXED

DHCP

PPP0E

AUTO CONFIG

6RD TUNNEL
