Nat type 1 open
nat 2 slightly restricted, online game suffer in this type.
nat 3 fully restricted online games wont work well or at all.

NAT-2 is open too... just that are using a router.

From PS3 documentation.

Check how the PS3™ system is connected to the Internet. This information can be used to judge the ease or difficulty of connecting to other PS3™ systems when using voice / video chat or the communication features of games.

Type 1: Connected directly to the Internet

Type 2: Connected to the Internet via a router

Type 3: Connected to the Internet via a router

With type 3, it may not be possible to communicate with other PS3™ systems, and voice / video chat and the communication features of games may be restricted. In this case, see [Connecting to PSNSM] in this guide.

NAT-3 is when you are using a router but it is restricted... there is issues with ports blocked for example.

NAT-1 and NAT-2 are fine... works everything fine.

Router + uPnP = NAT-2 (it is the best config unless your router is really bad at routing traffic... any moderm router works fine even the cheapest).
