    [SOLVED]Can you change the NAT type on a wired connection?

    I currently have a wired and a wireless internet connection on my laptop at my house. When I move into college, i'll only have a wired ethernet...since all of the tutorials to change your NAT type for MW2 seem to only concern connections with routers (wireless), is it possible to change your NAT type with a wired connection (just in case my NAT turns out to be Strict with an ethernet cable)?

    I believe you would do it exactly the same way. It depends what the Ethernet is wired to...a router? if so then you do it exactly the same just go into the router settings using a web browser and open the appropriate ports.

    My pc is wired to a router which uses ADSl into the wall, and it was the same as everyone else.

    If I make a mod that you think is easy to make then don't flame me because I did something that COULD of done, I don't care if you can do it or not, the point is you gotta start with the easy stuff.

    I'm just going to plug the ethernet cable right into the wall. So i'm not going to have a router.

    I'll check out the AIW forums as well.

    I never said bring his own router.....I simply meant that if it is wired, then he might have access to his NEW router, and thus being able to open the correct ports.

    Just my suggestion...
