HiveWorkShop should make a hosting service.

[Vicboy]

I think... Okay, honestly, I can't host, but I know how it's like never to host a map.

<too lazy to add more details)

 

[Samuraid]

Yes, but if a bot hosts a map, then it consumes a free slot and messes up the balance of the teams.

It's well worth learning how to configure your firewall/router to host. There are numerous tutorials online.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Got a Linksys router Vic?

 

[PurplePoot]

Nah Dan, newer host bots fix that.

 

[Vicboy]

Got a Linksys router Vic?

Yes. And I can say, I have tried a lot of tutorials to make it work. None to avail.

Oh and yeah, there are newer bots to fix that problem.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

YouTube - Fixing Warcraft 3 Game Hosting!

Already tried this one?

 

[Vicboy]

Yeah

 

[PurplePoot]

Linksys router here too, and we had to update the firmware before port forwarding worked. Did you try that?

I think I have the latest Linksys firmware for my model (WRTG54) (1.01) (wow, I knew that cause I've been researching a way to get me to host)

I've updated it to the latest (From what I remember, the latest patch for this model was in 2007. I got it at 2008.

And no. Didn't work. Nada Yata.

 

[PurplePoot]

What ports are you forwarding? Are they the same as the one in Warcraft III -> Options -> Gameplay -> Port?

Is your firewall blocking it?

Are you sure your computer's IP is right? Is it static?

 

[Vicboy]

Yes

Turned it off

I'm not sure what my REAL ip is. whenever I go look for it, it ends up with 192.168.1.***\

And I have a feeling its not correct.

 

[Nestharus]

er... What Is My IP Address? - Lookup IP, Hide IP, Change IP, Trace IP and more...

 

[Vicboy]

er... What Is My IP Address? - Lookup IP, Hide IP, Change IP, Trace IP and more...

Seriously that's my IP???

wow, I'll try it soon.

 

[Pyritie]

I'm not sure what my REAL ip is. whenever I go look for it, it ends up with 192.168.1.***\

192.168.*.* IPs are what your computer uses to refer to other machines on your own network.

 

[Vicboy]

192.168.*.* IPs are what your computer uses to refer to other machines on your own network.

Meaning?

(waits impatiently for an answer)

 

[PurplePoot]

Press Windows+R.

Type in "cmd" (no quotes). Press enter.

Type "ipconfig /all" (again no quotes). Press enter.

IP Address................192.168.1.* (* will be a number from 2 to 255, usually) is the number you are looking for. The port should be forwarded for that IP.

Then go to Control Panel. Go to Network Connections.

Right click on "Local Area Network" and click Properties.

Scroll down to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and select it. Click Properties.

Select "use the following IP address".

Default Gateway should be 192.168.1.1, Subnet Mask should be 255.255.255.0, IP Address should be 192.168.1.* (that number you were given).

Select "Use the following DNS Server address". Type in 192.168.1.1 for Preferred. Leave alternate blank.

Click OK twice. Restart your computer.

 

[Pyritie]

Meaning?

(waits impatiently for an answer)

As in anything that starts with 192.168 isn't your "true" IP address.

Like anyone that says their IP is 127.0.0.1 is either trying to trick you or is a complete nub. That IP is what your computer uses to refer to itself.

 

[Vicboy]

I've tried using that one (PurplePoot) and found no success to it.

I'll try using the IP that the website gave me.

 

[PurplePoot]

You want 192.168.*.*... (the third number is almost always 1). That's your local network IP number.

 

[Vicboy]

As in anything that starts with 192.168 isn't your "true" IP address.

Like anyone that says their IP is 127.0.0.1 is either trying to trick you or is a complete nub. That IP is what your computer uses to refer to itself.

I never knew that

Thanks.

But should I use 203.84.183.194 or 192.168.1.1?

 

[PurplePoot]

192.168.1.1 should be your router's IP on your LAN. Don't use your online IP, as you're doing LAN stuff.

 

[Vicboy]

192.168.1.1 should be your router's IP on your LAN. Don't use your online IP, as you're doing LAN stuff.

What?

Isn't being able to visit Google online? not LAN?

What?

 

[Pyritie]

What?

Isn't being able to visit Google online? not LAN?

What?

No, as all your computer does is communicate with your router. Your router is what does all the communicating with the internet, in your case.

 

[Vicboy]

Thanks.

But should I use 203.84.183.194 or 192.168.1.1?

 

[Pyritie]

Use the second one.

 

[Vicboy]

Use the second one.

Okay, then I'm sorry to say but it doesn't work.

 

[PurplePoot]

What was the Default Gateway listed from ipconfig /all? It should have been 192.168.1.1.

 

[Vicboy]

I don't see any IP.

Only IPv4 which is 192.168.1.105

 

[leet.firefox]

Press Windows+R.
IP Address................192.168.1.* (* will be a number from 2 to 255, usually)

Mine says:
IP Address................192.168.0.*

Should I use the 1 or the 0?

 

[PurplePoot]

In that case, use the 0. Some brands of routers seem to default to use .0.*, some use .1.*. Linksys (his) should use .1.*, (at least, it consistently does when I've seen linksys routers).

 

[leet.firefox]

Okay, I use Netgear

 

[PurplePoot]

Yeah, my netgear was .0.*.

 

[l0git3c]

im using Linksys too, and may this help you

1. In your browser, enter 192.168.1.1 in address bar and enter.
2. Type your admin username and password (default maybe : username: admin and password just leave it blanks). And press enter.
3. You will see Linksys setup settings, go Applications & Gaming tab.
4. And here we goes...

5. Save Settings, and congratulations, you can host now.....~

 

[Vicboy]

Which IP is my IP???

Which IP is my IP???

And why is Default Gate and Subnet different from each other?

 

[TheDivineBoss]

What's My IP Address? Your IP is 91.100.39.149 Pick either your 192.168.1.1 IP or the IP you got from the link.

Now go to your 'IPpage' by putting the IP in the search bar above --^, type in user 'admin' + 'admin' as password and go to Applications & Gaming.

Now go to Port Range Forwarding and type in the following below:

Now save settings and try.

 

[Vicboy]

If I use the IP in the page you gave me, it won't load anything for me to type admin, if I use the IP I always knew, no difference is done to warcraft.

 

[PurplePoot]

IPv4 address is the one you wanted.

 

[brad.dude03]

Guys, if you've tried everything, here's a clue: Turn off Windows Firewall.

I had tried everything, opened all the ports, followed every tutorial, but none of it worked. And then I turned Windows Firewall completely off, and it worked.

It doesn't matter if WC3 is on your list of exceptions or anything, just turn it off and you might find yourself able to host.

>_> that stuff gives viruses.
