OK, so my port forwarding wasn't working, so i tried changing to a hard line to my modem instead of our wireless router, a cisco DPC3825. I am on portforward.com and the instructions seem not to be exactly inline with what I'm using (the screenshots don't line up). ALso, the site says to use your default gateway, which when I enter it into the port forwarding menu says "Invalid IP: Cannot be LAN" I can use my IPv4 address however.

The site just says I should enter an IP address and my port 6112 to 6112, on my menus however there is both an external column and an internal one as well. Not sure what to do from here

After forwarding the right ports i am usually able to host for a few mins. After that a check says that my tcp ports are open meanwhile the udp ones are closed. The reason for that is my bullshit router. The solution for me was to setup a broadband via PPPoE Pass Through.

hello, was wondering if anyone can help me out with my situation. i am running windows 7 ultimate 32bit bootcamp on macbook pro 2012. i am able to enter the lobby and chat with others normally, but when the game starts i get unbearable lag (online). i am using the dormitory internet which is connected to my personal router for wifi. Is this a port issue? or something to do with my macbook hardware? All drivers are updated. I have turned off firewall, compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3), and run as administrator
i have attempted to portforward, using netgear router model wndr3400v2. the ports 6112-6119 remained closed.
i am not a pro with this but the IT at my school is willing to help with some instructions
Any help or solutions would be greatly appreciated

i know this is kinda of a necro but what evs

so i basicly since i installed my windows 7 again my ports stopped working.

i have my port 6112 open and have a static ip what it is forwarded on, i don't have a fire wall nor the isp blocking.

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

In this guide: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Port_Forwarding

I'm having problems with this step:

Go to the configuration interface of your router. This can be reached by typing in the default gateway in your internet browser of choice
Assuming Vista, this can also be reached via "Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing > Double Click (whatever your network is) Icon > Right Click Router > View Device Webpage"

I'm on widows 7 and I can't locate this, when I try the default gateway approach it just says it can't find it. It never gives me a network window

Any ideas?

Get your IP with "ipconfig" in cmd.
Type that IP in the adressbar of your internet browser. (example: "http://192.168.12.114")
If your router asks for a password or username,
try around with stuff like "admin/admin", "admin/password", "user/0000" etcetc

sorry for necro but i didnt want to make another thread about this issue. I was wondering if it is possible, even though I have no access to the router my apartment uses, to change the ports? the upnp forwarder in mca does not work for me. any ideas or possibilities? I asked for the router info but they told me no. It really sucks not being able to host games. Thank you!

I got some issues about to open the port 6112.

My router is an Huawei 532e, if it needs some more information i'll bring them but I need support for this.

I had some issues hosting recently, I had forwarded the ports and a portchecker program confirmed they were open, it only did so when Starcraft wasn't running and logged onto ICCUP. Disabling the Windows firewall worked though, but to anyone who feels unsafe doing that you can also go into advanced settings of the Windows Firewall, go into Incoming traffic section and allow Starcraft, the one you need to allow might only show up once you are already connected to ICCUP.

It's possible to allow nearly everyone to host, yes even if you don't have access to your router, if access to the server code is allowed, which neither Fish nor ICCup would allow and which moving to a completely new server is infeasible.

I'm having a weird issue, but I am pretty sure it's because of my ISP. I've forwarded my ports, I can host a game, meaning that I get the message "xxxxxx has joined the game" but then I am never able to actually see the players in the lobby.
If I join a game, I am having the same issue, I enter the game but the list of players is blank.

Now if I connect to a VPN, I can join games and play normally, but of course that also prevents me to host.

xboi209 is an absolute gentleman and computer wizard. I've been struggling with port forwarding for years -- he took remote access and whirled through my computer/settings for about 15 minutes and was able to forward my ports.

Thank you--
