Hey everyone,

I play WarCraft3 i think 3 years, never had hosting problems before...
But now i got new internet ant can't find out how to host again
Its name is FRITZ!Box or something...
I have found the application thing (UDP and that other one) did it to port 6112 to 6119 what was in a tutorial, called him Warcraf3...
But still can't host

Turn fire wall off? <- works for me, I can't host eather if i don't turn it off.

 

[Xarwin]

Do you have a router in use?

 

[Gilles]

You probably need to port forward. Google it.

Okay, what you need to do is open port "eyes" and read the tutorial "rules". Then you should understand that you posted in the wrong section, and be able to host "massivenegrep.exe".

Open port 6112 on your computer, router and make your firewall accept incoming and outcoming data from the program 'wc3.exe' and allow data to pass through port '6112'.

i had to choose the ips that were going to "obey" the rules i made in the router. After that it worked. You don't got a manual? If you don't or it didn't help to read in it i can check in my manual, since all routers probably use same system.

 

[Ash]

He only needs to open ports on his router, it isn't rocket science

depends
my hosting "skills" didn't work before i choose what ips that would be considered "real", after that i could host again after some trouble

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Not neccesarely everybody can host. Not if they do not own their router. Like me.

 

[Ash]

Do elaborate, I'd like to know why and try to help.

 

[Erkowich]

Ash, that avatar is so.... strange xD

 

[Raller00]

I cant host either and i have my firewall off

 

[Ash]

You need to forward things on your PC, router and firewall.

Tell me more, or I can't help you.

 

[Joe-Hoew]

Thanks for the reactions,
But i had turned firewall off...
Now i gonna look if the ports good...

And yes, i have a router

 

[Ash]

Open up your router, you can usually do this by going to '127.0.0.1' in your browser, and check if 6112 is forwarded.

 

[Erkowich]

isn't it 6112-6119 udp and tcp

 

[Ash]

6112 should work, that's all I've got forwarded and I've got no problems.

 

[Joe-Hoew]

I got now this: Warcraft3 | TCP | 6112 | IP ADRESS | 80 And Warcraft3 | UDP | 6112 | IP ADRESS | 80

 

[Erkowich]

it's working?

 

[Joe-Hoew]

No >_<

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright Ash, help me. I used to be able to host until we switched our internet to wireless. I read some tutorials and some crap about setting up a static IP, but I don't really have access to the 'base' computer.

 

[Ash]

You shouldn't have to setup a static IP, as long as 6112 is opened up on the router you should be fine.

If you connect to the computer and then the router, then just make sure 6112 is open on the computer and the router, and it should work.

well, actually i had to fix static ip adress then i could host. It just took like 2 sek but anyway^^ portforward.com got nice guides to setup routers also, so you know you are doing it right.
