Hey everyone, I've been trying to host on Warcraft III but I can't as my router doesn't have port 6112 enabled (apparently) and I can't see any way of enabling my ports, anyone got any ideas?

<- my router

What firewall software are you using?

 

[Haziba]

Just windows firewall, this is a new computer and I haven't done much in the way of protecting it yet. I've unblocked the port 6112 though and unblocked Warcraft so it should allow me to do it from that

 

[Nitrus]

Post back to let us know.

 

[Haziba]

I've just been informed that we have another fire wall in the router, but I can't find out much about it for about 6 hours

Why?

You should be able to "login" to your router and edit the firewall settings, let us know when you can.

It's my dad that sorts it out, I have no idea what it is or how to log in to it... Any suggestions?

 

[Nitrus]

Somewhere on your router there should be a label, giving you information about how to login, particularly the default login details.

Can you find it?

 

[Haziba]

I couldn't find one, there's just one with a load of weird codes on that says "Belkin"... It is a very old router

 

[Nitrus]

Goto your "Network Places" on the computer, and double-click the router, is it even there?

 

[Haziba]

No, if I go onto my network places I just get a list of the other computers on my netowkr

 

[Nitrus]

Does your router appear ANYWHERE on the main PC or any PC?

Device Manager? etc.

You need to determine the model of the router, and then you can visit www.portforward.com and find out exactly how to forward the ports.
