Hosting Problems

[Theflash]

I realize that you guys have said how to fix this but it dosent work for me. I was just wondering if there was antoher way....

I don't think there is man. I've tried everything there is for hosting, and it just doesn't work for some routers. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do, if you've tried it all here and you still can't host, we can't help you. I can't host either so I know how you feel

Problems in hosting games on wc3b.net?

What I've been told is that you need to turn your firewall off via the Control Panel, and you can turn the firewall back on when not playing on battle.net (if you have firewall, that is).

Works for me.

well, i'll try it anyway. i'm getting a new router tonight so hopefully i'll be able to host with it. and man, I love where ur from. great place isn't it I'm from the same area BTW

Guess that makes two of us, then.

Off-topic: One of the most commonly hosted maps is DotA (which is THE most rigged one I've ever played). Spells, as one such guy on another site said, are just simple.

On-topic: I've also heard from my clan chief that you need forward port (I've, unfortunately, been unable to figure out what to do for that).

Well my problem for hosting was actualy my nat (lol screws up playing bfme2 online as well ) So I just have to turn it off whenever I want to host a map. Problem is that because whenever I want to host someone else is usualy using internet so I can't turn it off

 

[brad.dude03]

yeah you have to forward port 6112. www.portforward.com explains it all.

Not for my router it don't, apparently my router is extremely rare and the company that made it doesn't even have a website! I had to do it based on my own rather expansive knowledge of PC's.
