Can´t host, but why?

[Snuffy]

Hey,
I am helpless. I don´t know why i can´t host. I used the tutorial on
portforwarding.com for the Router SMC 7004ABR v2. I have made me
an Static Ip for my Desktop. I deactivate my Firewall, the standard
Windows Firewall. The PC is new installed, so the is only a codec pack
winrar and firefox and also the drivers for sound, mainboard and graphic
installed.

What else i have to do that i can host? Maybe settings at the router
or anything in windows? I have no more ideas why i can´t host.
To test it i used PFPortChecker for the Port 6112, UDP and TCP.

If the port is correct in the router, check if wc3 is trying to use port 6113, does that sometimes.

Well, since you use a different router from everybody else, it'll be a little bit harder. But we'll try to help.

Go to your browser and type in the URL bar:
192.168.1.1 - This is the basic 'IP' of your computer. The password and username is 'admin', as default.

Username: admin
Password: admin​

---

Now from here, it'll be tricky, since you use a different program than me.


Do you got a tab that says 'Applications & Gaming' or something similar to it? --> No --> Stop trying.

|
| Yes(, something like that)
v​

Do you got a sub-tab in there that is similar to 'Port Range Forwarding'? --> No --> Stop trying.

|
| Yes(, something like that)
v​

Type in this, for the exception of that last tab with '105' in it,
try to find out what the network IP of your computer is (tip: 192.168.1.10#) and type that in.

---

Last urgent note: This may not work at all due you and me got different programs.

Try now.

I have got this activated:


I only have this "Special Application" under the Virtual Server!
This option i have done is descriped on portforwarding.com
for warcraft 3 and the router i have.

Is the lan-ip of your comp 192.168.2.10?

Also, instead of disabling your firewall get COMODO or Online Armor (both free), and config them to open that port.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Change the last digit of the LAN IP Address (192.168.2.10#) to your own IP.

examples

Like:
192.168.2.101
192.168.2.102
192.168.2.103
192.168.2.104
192.168.2.105

@TheDevineBoss
Maybe it is Special Applications. Here are the Configurations:


@Reaper2008
yes its my ip adress. I configured it especially for this desktop.

Isn´t it same when i use exceptions on the windows firewall, when i
say war3.exe as an exception and the port 6112 or deactivate the firewall
completly?

 

[Snuffy]

okay a i teste COMODO. Doesn´t Work.
Also i tested Special Applications and i found this:


At bottom is Battle.net. especially for it! But dont works too

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I think you need to create another one, but with the UDP's hitted.

 

[Snuffy]

When i am test it with PFportchecker from portforwarding, i get Port is not
open or rechable. When i host a game. no one is joing and also a friend cant join the game.

Also i changed ip now to 105 at its end. At my desktop and in the router with Virtual
Server. Didn´t Work too.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Uh, the 105 at the end was my own network IP. What is your network IP?

 

[Snuffy]

^^ i changed to 105

Some PC software prevents you from hosting. EG the software needed to use some autorefreshers and stuff like that. As soon as I installed an auto refresher I lost my ability to host until I uninstalled the driver it needed to work. I am sure this happens with other programs as well which may be unrelated to WC3.

 

[Snuffy]

The PC is new installed, so the is only a codec pack
winrar and firefox and also the drivers for sound, mainboard and graphic
installed.

WC3 is on second partition.
I also installed PFPortChecker and PWSafe(Password tool).
it is Windows Xp with service Pack 2

i don´t think there is anything with autorefresher or?

 

[PrinceofIce]

You need to do it for tcp AND udp

 

[Snuffy]

i have don it allways for TCP and UDP

Oh sry for double post. can be deleted this one
