Program for hosting

[Textor]

Where can i find a program with them i can host ?

 

[Samuraid]

Host a website, or host game on Battle.net, or what?

For hosting games on battle.net, you don't need any additional programs, just Warcraft 3. Start up battle.net and click the "Create Game" button.
You will need to open port 6112 on your firewall if you have one, otherwise no one will be able to join your game.

 

[Jacek]

or you can use Listchecker.

If you are on a LAN connection then you NEED to use port-forward from your modem to your computer.

M
|
C---C---C

M = your DSL or Cable Modem
C = the computers in your home

Each computer has it's own IP. You must forward the port to the IP of the computer you are using, or all of them if you wanted to.

If you have a DSL or Cable modem you then have a firewall which is built into every type of those two modems.
If you have Windows Firewall (Enabaled) then there is another.
If you use a program, most likely anti-virus related like McAfee, which HAS a firewall (so if it is enabled), there is another firewall.

A possible of 3 firewalls for one computer. If you use a dial-up modem, there is no firewall.

So how do you do that? (I want to know too, as my desktop can host but my laptop can't, and I've opened up the right ports, I think.)

I openend Run and then CMD , i writen ip config and there are only 1 and 0 (maybe 3 and 8). Mask arent 1 0 but that is ok i think. some friends from CZECH say "potřebuješ veřejnou IP" and my friends says , call to your internet (O2) and buy "veřenou IP" i dunno how can i say the "veřejnou IP" englisch (i comming from CZE) , but another say me need the gateway or so or router , i realy dunno what to do. I have tryed Hamachi , Listchecker but it dont work.
When i buy the "veřejná IP" it can be wrong and money is away. Pls say what to do , how can i find out what me need.

 

[Pyritie]

Try using only English letters instead of ones with accents.

 

[Textor]

OK i say it so. What to do when i want host ?
Pls say in steps or with screens or so...

Read some of the earlier posts, especially Cheeder's.

Well, our PC setup does this
.......M
|-----^....^
|......^.....^
C......C.....C

M = Modem
| = Cable
^= Wireless

And I still can't host...

 

[Textor]

I think i know what to do.
OPEN RUN and write CMD the write IP CONFIG and the IP or gateway or so write to browser and set the IP and ROUTER there.
Then go to Conections or so and write the gateway and the IP to the table.
But my GATEWAY AND IP ARE ONLY 1 and 0

I have a tip for you.

I cant find the Local Area Conection status in the help

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

In the little toolbar with Inactive Icons, right click your network and select STATUS.

IP to the browser and i found in status...

that :

I think i cant host , how can i write in a table defealt gateway when mine is N/A ?

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

The default gateway is always 255.255.255.9 anyway, so there shouldn't be ever so many worries.

255.255.255.9 , realy ? Also i set in the Conections 255.255.255.9 to gateway ? And IP ? That are only 1 and 0 ?

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Oh wait, I made a typo, that's meant to be a ZERO...

 

[Samuraid]

No, 255.255.255.0 is your subnet mask.

The default gateway is the next router hop after your router/modem.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Yeah, I did say I made a typo

 

[Textor]

OK but Gateway or router (i dont remember) : N/A
and ip is only 1 and 0

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

OK, All I done, was added the port 6112 as UDP and TCP in Firewall Settings, left the firewall off, added TFT and ROC as programs, then typed my default IP address for the ROUTER, not my PC, in the browser, and added 6112 to my IP address and now I can host.

BUT GATEWAY IS : N/A and IP are only 1 and 0
10.0...
