If you want help in this post you should Post/acquire this information:

- Internal I.P. adress (this is not your I.P) If you havn t changed it usually its 192.168.0.1
- You router number (if you don' t have access to your Router its a problem try looking at UPNP solution)
- Check if your Anti-virus program or Windows Firewall is blocking Starcraft or Launcher)

Its very simple process but you must have Access to your Router and your internal I.P. adress

hi, i forwarded my port a few months ago and it worked fine and i was able to host games. However, recently nobody would join a game i hosted on ladder (so i presume it is a connection issue as people used to join almost instantly), and that has been the case for the last few weeks. I don't think anything has changed to do with my router and i haven't changed anything myself. Also, if i want to host then people say the 'latency is too high message' comes up, that is because i haven't forwarded ports, right? I have looked through my firewall settings and starcraft was allowed, so i don't know what has happened. Any help would be appreciated. I have gone through my router settings and port 6112 is enabled for my local IPv4 address.

This is a great thread where I will direct future people inquiring about portfowarding to to get the basics done

I just wanted to point out that a useful tool for checking if your portforwarding has been done correctly is PFportchecker which can be found on portforward.com, it properly checks the UDP port to see if it is open.

I have uploaded the only version that I know works with windows 7 (for some reason the current pf version doesn't work on win7), if OP wants to add it, or download it and mirror it elsewhere:

Very good thread. I have struggled may times with this. It can be quite simple to complete hell depending on your router and connection type (ethernet, wlan, shared ...)

If you use wlan remember that you need to set up through windows a static IP adress for this connection, otherwise your router will give you a random IP everytime you connect and portfowarding will be impossible.

- Have you accessed your router and seen if the rule is still there? it should look something like this (but it totally depends on your router model)+ Show Spoiler +

- Sometimes a new computer that hokes to your router creates havok. You may want to check your internal i.p. is the same as before (how to do this open windows logo search for "cmd" open the terminal and type "ipconfig" hit Enter. Look for this
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]

If you have 2 types of connection (like i have a wireless one and a cabled on) there should be 2 IPv4 adresses use the one you use when you usually connect to internet)

- Did you check your Anti-virus program? I had problem where all was allowed and settings where correct but the anti-virus was blocking sc. If you use avast then you should look here:

and add exceptions
Try to think of the exact moment when your hosting abilities stopped something must have happened then.

it could also be that the title of your game was already taken, but iccup is weird so it lets you make the room anyways (but nobody can join)

How do I know if my port forwarding has worked? I've went through the guide on liquidpedia and it says after go to CMD then netstat -na then look for 611X. I have a line that reads
192.168.1.101:6112

This should mean the port is open, right? It has no state listed and its foreign adress is *

My latency bar on Bnet seems to always be on red now where it used to be constantly green and ocassionally yellow. Not sure what's going on

if you go to iccup and make a D game on fighting spirit and wait, you'll find out whether it's working. people will join quite fast if it is.

you normaly should have one within like 5 minutes max.
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

it should be connected to a router of the flat, ifso ask them to forward port 6112

Ok thx, I'll tell provider to just forward this port. I wasn't sure, if it differs, if u don't have modem at home.

No it does not mean your port is fowarded, You have to create a Rule on your routers page

- Router model number.

Also allow Broodwar and ICCUP trhoug you Firewall

- Firewall settings

Also allow Broodwar and ICCUP trhough your Anti-virus program
- Anti-virus program

Okay if you know your router name/password then go to step 2 if not
Step 1 is:
+ Show Spoiler +
i Havn t found your router model maybe try the 3600 type 192.168.1.1 in your browser try Administrator admin as name/password .
- If it doesn t work another option is if you have physical access to router you can reset it (i suggest you go this for last)
(if you don' t know how to reset it try looking here http://support.linksys.com/en-eu/support/routers/E3200 )

Step 2:
+ Show Spoiler +
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Cisco/Linksys-E3200/Starcraft.htm


If you have followed these steps you should be good to go. If after this it does not work you have to make execptions for Firewall and anti-virus (check and re-check)

If still no work, Alternativly you can ask trusted member xboi203 on iccup to help you via remote desktop.

I finally fixed my issue with port forwarding once again, this time it was because I was behind a router AND a modem, so I was being assigned 2 IP address's, I had to go into the MODEM and port forward for the IP address of my Router, I didn't think it would work, but it did.... Kind of confusing ridiculous crazy stuff... finally figured it out. :-)

I was behind a Belkin Router and an umm...."ComCast " Modem..
