I just got my copy few weeks ago from today. The game was alright and its what i expected.

I know everyone has wrote forums of online problems but mine is really more specific. So here is the details:

No matter what, whenever i tried to race people online, they always disconnect about 30 sec. to a min. after the start of the race. I also know that my PS3 is on NAT Type 3. I think thats really the problem of why i cant have a decent race or connection even with anyone in the US with Initial D extreme stage copies.

I have seen tutorials of making it NAT 2, however, i can't seem to establish or even make a static IP since all the tutorials are required for that. Even though i tried, it won't connect. Basically it can only connect with the Dynamic default IP address which is not the 192.168.1.(whatever number goes here by choice).

I even chatted with my ISP representative and they told me i have to purchase it, which is pretty stupid if you ask me since there are also tutorials to make a static isp. -__-;;;

I use a Netgear WGR614v7 router and my ISP is from FastAccess DSL from AT&T.

I know that some of you may not be able to help 100% but any opinion or advice is more than welcome.

I really want to get full potential out of this game before the next ID game comes out.

Again, i really appreciate any advice or opinion on this topic ^^

that's weird because my internet connection is NAT3 as well but I get good connection on the playstation network on all my games including IDES

*EDIT* One thing you could try is to forward your port to the ps3 network. I just checked and noticed i was on NAT2 but before when my network was NAT3 I could still go on IDES. I heard that NAT3 is mainly for audio devices but i'm not sure

tried porting. Do all have to be open to play well? because one of the port is conflicting with another service.

See if your router has an option to allow your PS3 to access the internet directly. This way, you won't have to worry about ports.
I'm not sure what it may be called on your router, but on mine it's called a "Demiltarized zone".

is your ps3 turned on when porting? make sure your ps3 is turned off

tried that too but didnt work at all.....still having people disconnected from races.
