Another Battle.net hosting problem...

SignatureSeven · 11-05-2008, 11:13 AM

I have read every forum listing with this problem on the first 14 pages of my google search. I have opened every port 6112-6119 (TCP and UDP) and turned off my firewall. I have uninstalled and re-installed the game twice and still... I can't host battle.net custom games. I just don't get it. I don't know the technical terms but I will describe my computer setup as best I can. Starting from the wall, there is a cord that goes into the back of my Motorola SB5100 modem... that's freaking it. No routers, multiple comps, networks, nothing. Just a cord, my modem, and my single computer. What am I missing? Sorry if this sounds kind of abrasive, but I am frustrated to the point of physical discomfort. The only other possible factor would be the Vonage device I use for phone. I was assured that it shouldn't cause problems like this though.

What is the Vonage device? Make & Model #? The modem must go to the Vonage device then to your machine right? If so then your Vonage device has a built in router, and you would need to login to that and use port forwarding.
