Warcraft III Hosting issues

Messyworm · 06-13-2008, 09:22 AM

Hey. I have been hosting warcraft III for ages and it has always worked fine. I have forwarded all the correct ports needed for the game. But since coming on the computer yesterday, i haven't been able to host at all. No one can see or join the game. All i can think of changing since that time is maybe a windows update or something. Anyone know of anything i could try or how to fix it? All help is extremely appreciated because this is doing by head in!

Hmmmm. Okay try portforwarding again, if that does not work disable ur firewall or enable it to accept ports 6112 and the others you may need for warcraft. Also does your modem have a firewall setting or something??? if it does your going to need to enable it to accept port 6112 and the others needed.

Battle.net has got to have the most unreliable hosting service of any online server i have encountered. Port forwarding should work but it diesnt for everyone (me for instance

). If the porst worked before then they aint the problem so dont mess with em again. try doing a system restore to before the updates and try again. to be honest there is no "definate" way to solve hosting issues on b.net. its basically luck
