Hello folks,

I'm in need of some help, you see I recently downloaded the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta and installed with no issues. Booted it up and connected to the servers, go to find some players and it takes officially 8 minutes before it actually find some player to play online with. I think 'fine, must be at Sony's end' and decide to try another few times. Next time round it takes 14 minutes before the matchmaking service finds players. I ask about and it seems everyone else is perfect and there is no issue with the actual beta.

So I do some searching and see that I could have a NAT problem, now the fact that my PS3 suddenly as network issue problems seems mad to me. Ever since I first had my PS3 at the European Launch I have had absolutely no network issues and connecting to games as been no problem. But suddenly I have a issue, I look on the web to find a fix but none of them really work. Now I'm use to changing stuff in my router, every so often I have to change settings with the DMZ for my Xbox 360 as it likes to change it's IP address from time to time. But none of the fixes are working, so I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment.

Can anyone help me with this issue, so frustrating to suddenly have it from nowhere. It seems I have a NAT Type 3 when I should have a NAT Type 2. My PS3 is connected to a linksys router so that should be mentioned.

I need some help!

Thanks!
