My router wont let me play Diablo2 online

[soulja234]

When I connect to the game it wont allow me to play stating ports 6112 aret open. Problem is, they are. I can actually connect sometimes and play, but usually that message appears. I bypasses my router by plugging my pc into my modem and was able to connect each time.

I heard somewhere to tracert is and if "request timed out" showed up it was the router not allowing me into the game, and I do see quite a few of request timed out, and also thoes *

and idea why it would tell me my ports are closed when theyre not.

Please verify if all these ports are open for Diablo II.

Diablo II:

- Allow port 6112 TCP out and allow established sessions in

- Allow port 4000 TCP out (realm games)

- Allow port 4000 TCP out and in (hosting open games only)

[soulja234]

Ive done that. thats the werid thing, its telling me the 6112 isnt open, but it is.... I can get in the game once and a while, then ill get kicked off and get that message again.

well my router askes for a specific dmz server so i put 192.168.1.6 since thats my ip, so i hope i did that right, but it didnt help

[2xgrump]

Have you tried changing your DHCP settings to Static IP. Before you do this, you'll have to do an ipconfig /all from the command prompt, and make a note of the configurations.

From your LAN(Local Area Connection) properties, change Obtain an IP address automatically to "Use the following IP address". Do the same thing on the DNS settings type everything manually, use the configuration settings from ipconfig /all.

Pls. update me.

[soulja234]

Under the static ip options it has numbers in it all ready.

IP Address 24.46.215.232
IP Subnet Mask 225.225.240.0
Gateway IP Address 24.46.208.1

Im just not using static IP. are thoes correct ip's my isp gave me or do i need to change them?

[2xgrump]

Did you manually type this in? It should be correct if you are able to get it to the internet. In the command prompt, can you type this ==> ping 24.46.215.232 -t
Let it run for about 1 minute and let me know if there's any time out, we are looking for any inconsistency.

How about your DNS settings, is it auto configured? Change this to Static IP also, whatever your DNS's are.

[soulja234]

I didnt manually type that in, it was there all ready. It was just set on "Get Dynamically From ISP"

I havent tried to tick the "Use Static IP Address" cause i dont wanna get disconnected from the internet forever if it was wrong :o

my DNS settings are also on "Get Automatically From ISP"

[2xgrump]

if you make a note on the config you shd be ok.
It's up to you, just want to be helpful.

[soulja234]

when i tick the Use Static IP Address and try to apply it , it says invalid primary dns address

[2xgrump]

Did you make a note of your DNS's? Pls. use the DNS that your ISP provided you as your primary DNS. Without your DNS you won't be able to access the internet.

[soulja234]

How do I find my DNS's When i do ipconfig is says DNS servers 192.168.1.1. I dont thnk thats the right one. it also asks me for a secondary dns server

[2xgrump]

Your 192.168.1.1 is your Primary DNS. You may use that one and below you may use either one of these as your secondary, these are Public open dn's. Let me know.
Or you may use the first 208..... as your Prim. DNS and the second 208 as your second.

208.67.222.222 or/and 208.67.220.220

I tethered my cellphone to act as a wireless router, and im still getting the port forwarding issue... maybe its not a router issue? Ive disabled my firewall and everything. Its very frustrating
