Hosting on Bnet

[yakonshus]

Goodevening all of Azeroth, i am Yakonshus, a devilsh necromancer raising death maps and hosting them on battlenet to spread fear and death!
There is only one proplem, i cant host! (Gasp!) Are anyone able to help me? (And no, its NOT the firewall!)

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Its the router..

Its allways the router.. And the butler.

Check your router, and see if its has port 6112 or such, open.

If you are refering to game port, i got it on 6112, i also tried to change it to see if that would work. But i got it on 6112 yes.

Did you allow your anti virus programs to unblock warcraft

See?

 

[Sabertooth]

Did you make sure it's not WINDOWS firewall as well?

 

[yakonshus]

I only got Winderos Firewall

You gotta open like ports 6112-6119 or something, not just only one port.

What do you mean by that? So far im conserned you can only have one game port open a time.

 

[SantaBla]

you have to forward the ports, not open them, no, it's not the same thing.

And how do i do that?

 

[Kingcools]

read the manual, either the one that got shipped with your router or read it online, just go to your router, look up the name of it, and google it

Well there are multiple ports incase you want a bunch of computers in your house to have hosting capabilities. That guy above you just doesn't know what he is talking about.

Ok if you want to do it correctly, although it may not work for some other routers(?):

- Get to know your IP, just google ''what is my IP'' and you get a couple of sites who'll tell you what you got. Remember or copy the IP.

Optional: I recommend that you use your network IP, comes in handy later on.

- Type or paste your IP in the address bar of your browser.

- Now it'll ask you an username and a password, the standard name and password is ''admin'' ''admin''.


Note: The following steps may not look the same as your settings and/or is not working out for you.
- Now go to the tab that is similiar or is ''Applications and Gaming''.

- Go then to ''Port Range Forwarding''.

- You will probally see a list that is either empty or has some things in it, probally your dad tinkered with it.

Example

- Now as displayed, enter in the empty tabs on order:

Clicky

Application - Start - End -- Protocol - -IP Address ----------- Enable
Warcraft3 -- 6112 - 6112 - Both -- -- 192.168.[Depending] --- YES

- Now save your settings -just don't mess with anything else- and try to host.

It would work now.

Got it that far and found my IP, but because i only use my com to work and warcraft i dont know much bout such things, so where is that address bar you speak of?

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Well..

Where do you put your http://www.addressbarhere.com stuff in? _{(random link)}

It's the thing where you can type in.

Example time kids!

Got it?

Whatever i know what to do and it worked and i can host.

@Divine

You know all those things are ALL different? And some of them are VERY different, i tried to set it so for a friend so that he could host but the whole thing where you log into was so freaking weird and totally different from mine...

I would've gave it another try though but he wouldn't let me or something =p

 

[Traxamillion]

All i had to do to host is unplug myself from the router and plug myself into the wall directly.

How professional. What's so hard about forwarding?
