    First of all I bascially used this method for setting up the internet on the PS3
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br9VOFyvefg

    BUT it still would not work for me , It would say Failed to Obtain IP address.

    However I finally figured it out myself, I had to go to the router page and go to Internet WAN> Advanced setup> PPOE Passthrough and click YES.

    Just thought I would share incase any of yous couldnt get Nat Type 1.

    So once you enable PPOE Passthrough to Yes and use the method above in the video you should get Nat type 1.

    Also I set the MTU to 1492 instead of the PS3 default which was 1500 but don't think that mattered much.

    Type 1 is a direct connection of your PS3 to the internet.
    i.e. it gives your internet address to the PS3.
    This means if you have other devices your a bit stuck.
    What you really want to do is have you PS3 with a private address and forward the needed ports to it.
    This, if setup correctly gives you the functionality of NAT type 1 and also allows you to connect other devices.

    I was getting type 2, but It kept disconnecting on FIFA online.
    I'l take type 1 nicely. :)
