PPPoE sky user and password for PS3
Hi all, I am trying to change my nat type from type 2 to type 1 wirelessly(It is possible!) but I need to know what the PPPoE is for Sky. Any help is appreciated and I hope the PPPoE is the same for all sky users.

Sky don't use PPPoE - it's PPPoA for connection...

I use PPPoE, but thats because my firewall controls my modem. The modem takes care of the PPPoA connectivity, the PPPoE allows control of the modem over ethernet.

No it's not possible. NAT type 2 on PS3 means that you are connected via a router and everything is working as it should. Originally Posted by ZakkyB

Nat type 2 is the best, it means you have the right secruity with the right ports open. Nat type one is no security with all ports open.
