Warcraft 3 port problems?

[Gizmoe]

I really don't know much about this subject, even though I've spent a couple hours around it, so I really don't know what I'm actually asking, which sounds weird. I don't want to ask through the forum since it seems like it would be slow so could someone contact me through am IMing service?

What type of port forwarding?

[Jason09]

Also, what is the make and model of your modem and router?

[Gizmoe]

I want to port forward for uTorrent and maybe warcraft 3. My modem is an Arris TM502G and I don't know what my router is. There are 2 in my dads office, a Linksys EZXS88W "8 port workgroup switch" and an Airport Base Station.

[ebackhus]

We can't help with uTorrent, but if you can find out the exact router we can help with the rest.

[bilbus]

Why can't you help with Utorrent? Their is nothing ilegal about Utorrent.

Anyhow, what you need to do is locate what port utorrent is using, and what ports warcraft3 is using.

Then you go into your router and add those ports, and tell them to redirect to your local pc's ip address.

I would check out http://portforward.com it can be helpful for new guys like you.

Perhaps you and Gizmoe missed the TSF rules when you joined over 3 years and 3 months ago (respectively)?

This includes but is not limited to Bearshare, Kazaa and many others.

However, we can help with getting Warcraft 3 port forwarded.

[bilbus]

Well, that's a silly rule.

Well, anyhow ... goto that website it will show you what you need to do to port foward.

[johnwill]

bilbus, you may think our rules are silly, however there the rules you agreed to when you joined the board.

Please refrain from advising on activities that are rules violations here in the future.

[bilbus]

Whatever. I simply gave a link to a website regarding general help with port forwarding, not utorrent.

[Gizmoe]

Not sure to post here or in networking, but this error just only started happening a few days ago. When playing Warcraft 3, and when I try to join a custom game, I get the error message "Another application is using a needed game port." Upon receiving this error, I ran netstat in the command prompt and found no other applications running the same port as Warcraft. I set my computer to selective startup and rebooted, still to no avail. I went on to my dads computer to see if he was running something, but nothing was interfering(Far as I could see) with Warcraft. Every time I reconnect to Battle.net, the port it is using changes instead of using the port it is assigned to, 6112. This is what my command prompt brings up.

Hi,

Do you have ports 6112-6119 forwarded on your router? If not you can follow the guides here. Just choose your router and the program that you want to use.

Cheers!

[Gizmoe]

I've never had a problem with the ports before, so I don't know why they wouldn't just suddenly not work, also as for forwarding ports all together, I don't even think I have a router, unless an Airport Base Station counts.

[Gizmoe]

That site doesn't help me, it doesn't have my router listed.

[bilbus]

Well, i tried, dont thank us or anything

[Gizmoe]

Well, I'm not done. This is what we have for our wireless

[Jason09]

I have merged your threads.
What are the makes and models of all the external devices you use for Internet?

[Gizmoe]

What do you mean external?

[Jason09]

Your modem and router. The base station is probably connected to one of those.

[Gizmoe]

My modem is an Arris TM502G
