chosen2k wroteChup no need for the MAC address to DMZ, just assign a static IP to your PS3 when you select wired connection and then add that IP to DMZ page of the router.
yea...i Know
Problem is i can't find THAT ip on the DMZ page.
I can only find one IP which is the wireless router's ip that i have already disconnected in order to have a wired connection.
So i guess the static ip i shall give it is that wireless router's ip.
Problem is, i have to release that public ip everytime i finish playing and want to reconnect the wireless router...
Ew...the 'Thomson' router man. You should try to make the PS3 MAC or IP visible there by any means :p.
mmm...Try this:

:::You seem to have 2 routers:
Do NOT set the wireless router IP on thomson in Public IP Address/DMZ as you may expose other machines connected through wireless to internet attacks.

Seemingly you have 1 Ethernet Port on Thomson too: what you will have to do is:
Configuring your PS3 Settings to connect wirelessly as Manual settings:
1)IP address: Assign any of your choice that is far away of being currently given to other connected devices to avoid conflicts, like: 192.168.1.10, as this will become Static in Thomson.
2)Subnet mask is also indicated in your router.[Usually it is: 255.255.255.0]
3)Get Router's IP which is Thomson IP/Domain of logging in. [Default is: 192.168.1.254 ]
4)The DNS Servers IPs Primary and Secondary settings from Thomson connection info or whatever it's refered to as.... (If Secondary DNS is NOT available then make it like Primary DNS).

Now your PS3 Static IP should appear in your thomson's DMZ/Public IP Address, and again if NOT then Backup Settings and do a Hard Reset then restore the router's settings. Hope that helps.
Ew...the 'Thomson' router man. You should try to make the PS3 MAC or IP visible there by any means :p.
mmm...Try this:
-When configuring PS3 connection, Set DHCP to enable and type "Name' you want then see if it will be visible on DMZ/Public IP Address page. Nevertheless, setting DHCP on thomson seemed to be annoying and losing connection upon restarting PS3/Router.
-Check something like... Local Network or static IPs in Thomson and try there for something for the DHCP 'Name' you have set.
I can't be bothered really.
I'll try just one more thing, i'll give the ps3 DIR-300's ip, with the wireless router disconnected

I have edited the above post. Please recheck.
hey guys is there a way to convert pirated version of MW3 to steam version?
^ considering you bought the game on steam and dont wish to download the files then:

You could copy paste all the files from the pirated version to the steam-common-folder (just don't copy over the .exe files)

from here steam should download what is missing and needed (shouldn't be a lot)

IF you are implying if you can play online with a pirated version .. then no, not that i know of at least.

I just dont want to download it again :) 14GB is a huge chunk considering the general quota available.
In that case yes, you can very well use the pirated files of the game with the steam version (just do as i said)

The only difference between the official/retail copy and the pirated copy is the game exe, so make sure you do NOT copy those over (there are like 3 exe files iirc, one for the single player, one for the multiplayer, and the other for server or something)

survival mode is very addictive, I made it to wave 26, alone, but on regular difficulty, map="seatown" I'm still level 22, I wanna keep playing to see the other weapons unlocked! I CAN'T STOP PLAYING!!!! :P

edit: watch!!!
lvl 30 and lost in the first 5 secs GGG
That sucks! Though there are two solutions, If you got the steam version from Virgin (You already got the cd) then there is a workaround on the internet to force the pc to install from your cd rather than from the internet. If there is no cd then you ask for your money back on steam (maybe? given that you did not download it) and buy the version from Virgin (They have the PC version).

Hey a while ago I entered mw3 MP menu (ps3) and noticed that my NAT was strict. So I followed some steps (DMZ thing, static ip thing) and solved the prob. Now my NAT is open. But I still am a bit worried. Can this affect my DSL? I have a Sagem modem
Ya I followed the steps, but still I have strict, my friend tells me I should change my router. Though I don't notice a lag anymore,

No worries at all. Have fun.

For the issues of Open NAT, for the most part, the friendly way is just doing it via your DMZ option on your Modems, and then setting up a manual connection correctly on your PS3 ... it should be fine then on

As for PC, the only way i can fix this is to either use the hot fix i posted a while back which must be done every time you restart your PC (a way of getting around the restart is to just hibernate)

Anyway the more full proof solution is using Putty to telnet to your modem and forwarding the ports. This is more or less a permanent solution (the reasoning behind so is simply because the shitty thompson interface refuses to forward ports via web user interface)

anyway a flaw with this method is SOMETIMES if you turn off the modem and back on, your NAT type will be strict for some reason.

Not really a "solution" after all but then again i don't like hibernating my PC all the time.

I have in mind trying one more thing; i think it will work for sure, if so ill share

It wont be easy and i really dnt have the time for it right now.

Did something happen to the IMEWE ?
for the past week it's impossible to get games <200ms
While 2 weeks ago i was easily getting games <150ms
Anybody else experiencing such problems ?
I guess you guys tackled this before, but where can i get genuine MW3 for PC? Virgin ABC is out of stock.

Your ping might have become high; above 200ms
In CMD window, test your ping to www.google.com. If it is above 200ms then COD online multiplayer won't get you into sessions.
