Black ops 3 Cant change NAT type to OPEN

[nodim666]

Any ideas why ?

Fella....you need to put the .exe name which is or was in the beta stage blackops3.exe and not black ops 3.

 

EDIT:

You also need to make sure you have UPnP enabled.

ok i must be doing something wrong

i changed all the port names to blackops3.exe 

then i restarted my router and found out my ip changed so i went and changed all the ports to the current IP

 

i also enabled UPnp but its still says "moderate" NAT type ingame

 

any idea?

This is a step up.

 

Please give me the router's model number.

Well it would depend on what type of reset are you talking about. Normally there are two types,

1. a "hard rest" which will reset the router/modem to default, which is what i think you don't want and is done by holding the reset button for a specified time.
2. a "reboot" which can change some stuff but would most likely keep the port forwarding you just set up with the ports(yes what you did is called port forwarding) which is done by using the reboot function in the router's/modem's web GUI(this is the place you put in the ports)

What you should look for is the option to save your configuration where all your settings will be saved as a file that the router/modem can read and should you happen to reset your router/modem to default settings, you can just upload the previous settings and all you may have to do is change the IP address if it changes.

You don't want open. Strict is not good, but moderate is exactly what you want and you shouldn't have any issues.

NAT is Network Address Translation. Basically, it takes your private IPs and allows them all to communicate outside of your network through a single public IP. 

Moderate means that you are behind a router and/or firewall, and not exposed to the outside (which is good).

 

If you're really stuck on having your NAT set to open for whatever crazy reason, you could consider adding one address (your game console/PC) or even your entire network (this is dangerous) to the "DMZ". This will put that address or network out in the open on the internet, which as you can imagine is bad. 

 

TL;DR moderate is fine.

 

Oh, and Leonard is wrong about the "server name" column. That's just a name that lets you identify which ports you've opened for which applications. 

Also, hiding that IP wasn't necessary. It's your internal IP and can't be used maliciously unless your external IP is also known. (10.x.x.x is reserved for private, as well as some others)
