Router not working on Guild Wars

Strangerman · 06-28-2006, 11:34 PM

I just purchased Guild Wars (my first MMORPG

YAY) I installed it yesterday using a Dial-Up connection it took an extremely long time but it worked. Today I had my satelite internet fixed and I tried using that to log on but when my computer says "connecting to ArenaNet" it stays at 0%. It didnt do this with my dial-up, it took almost half an hour but it did connect using my slooow dial-up. I went onto the guild wars help site and they said the problem had to do with my firewall, but i dont think that thats the case seeing as how it still wouldnt connect even after i completely turned my firewall off. It's second suggestion was to "make sure my router's TCP port 6112 and TCP port 80 are open within their settings". I have NO idea what their talking about or how to do that. If someone could tell me how to do that or give me a better suggestion, I would be greatful. I'm really eager to try this game out

What type of router do you have?

Usually, with most routers it simply involves going to the router's webpage system, and adding those ports to a list of opened ports. It's different with every type of router brand, so let us know the brand and we can tell you the steps to fix it.
