D-Link Router + Battle.Net port issues

External Since: Jan 01, 2004 Posts: 1

Hi All,

Prefaces: I already spoke with DLink Tech Support, Blizzard Tech
Support and my SBC DSL tech support, and no one can seem to figure
this out:

For some reason, I cannot host a game of WC3 on battle net.

1) I just reinstalled a fresh Win2k image, with no firewall software.

2) I opened the virtual server on my 614+ just like DLink says, and no
luck.

[2b) I tried the latest, and three other versions of the 614+
firmware.]

3a) no one can join my games (private or public)

3b) I tried netstat -an, when WC3 is running, and only see a TCP:6112
port open, but no UDP:6112.

This is driving me crazy. Any ideas???

Thanks,
itd

Go and buy another router from a local store. Routers are a dime a dozen
nowadays, and not worth beating yourself up over one. If the new one
works, then its yer DLink. If new one ain't worky either, then its yer
setup, and return the new one. Fer trubbleshoot, usually it's best to have
spare stuff.

Ooops hes a Googler.. guess he aint gonna see this oh well.. HEY YOUR FAT
AND UGLY AND U GOT CRAPPY HARDWARE! hahahah pbpbbbppbblllllttt!

Oh shoot there goes me new year's rez to be nice to pokes.. pause fer 5
seconds of silence fer Bippys pingpang of conscience to subside..
