Did you give your computer a static IP?

If you are sure you set everything properly and it still doesn't work then it could be an ISP issue.

Don't think that will work. At least for me it didn't. I checked that box in mca and a red cross appeared. But I gave my PC a static IP and opened ports 4000 and 6111 to 6119. That worked (I'm able to host games) and after that mca also gave a green checkmark.

My problem is that my router is low quality. What usually happens is that it will close the ports i opened by itself.

From what I have read online, it seems that when uneven voltage reaches a cheap router, it restarts itself to avoid damage, but it also changes the settings that you applied except a few key features like WI Fi Password or router password.

Problem is that to even confirm that Id need to buy a UPS.

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.

I usually create a game called "testing if ports open".
It usually takes 20 seconds to have either someone join or whisper me that they are closed.

Portforwarding used to work for me but recently it stopped working for some weird reason and I gave up trying. It's really a pain in the ass, can't wait for shield battery to be out.

Hey guys. Back again. Seems like most people can't join my games. PFPortChecker says port 6112 UDP is closed though I have it forwarded. 6112 TCP is open tho.

I'm still using the same static ip. I'm using wifi from a modem/router-in-one. I've tried playing without a firewall. Any help?

Edit: I tried JUST opening 6112 UDP and the port is now open. And I think people can join. But I think that's what I did before and it stopped working eventually.

Edit2: Port is closed...port is open. How reliable is PFPortChecker?

I have done some portforwarding,

However, whenever I create a game:

the Client TCP, Client UDP and Game UDP show my public address, but always a port that is 5 digits like 35025, 24713, 24713, etc.

/netinfo shows:

Server TCP: <iccup ip>:6112 (bind 0.0.0.0:6112)
Client TCP: <my publicip>:58503
Client UDP: <my publicip>:62801
Game UDP: <my publicip>:62801

The only time I see the 6112 is with the Server TCP.
I am using mca64, could anyone help?

EDIT: I found my problem. I had a VPN running, which messed up my ports. When I disabled my VPN, everything worked out.

I am having trouble opening port 6112. See the image below for what I did.

+ Show Spoiler +

1. I checked my local IP address with ipconfig
2. I opened port 6112 for the local IP address
3. I disabled my firewall just in case it interferes
4. I connected to bnet which uses port 6112
5. I checked port 6112's status, which says it is closed

Any idea why my port forwarding didn't work?

That service yougetsignal.com checks only TCP protocol. Try PFPortChecker
+ Show Spoiler +

Use /netinfo command in bw to check which port bw is taken.

Thanks, I checked that as well!

But I do notice that when I do /netinfo in game,

The Game and Client UDP port is not 6112, but rather, it is something high, like 5xxxx, or 6xxxx number ranges.

Is that supposed to be normal?

I might as well ask for help. I have never had a port forwarding problem on any PC. I've always had access to the router, so I just looked up router model, port forwarding instructions, and was done in a minute. It had worked on 5 or 6 different routers across the last 8 years or so. But now I'm unable to host

Using Eircom F1000 router (link to manual: broadbandsupport.eir.ie)
My PC has a TP-Link wireless USB adapter if that matters
Firewall is disabled.

1. This is how the port forward screen looks for my router
+ Show Spoiler +

Values I pick:
WAN interface: VDSL, ETHWAN, pppo3G
Protocol: TCP, UDP, TCP/UDP
trigger start and end point: 6112 - 6119
translation start and end point: 6112 - 6119
WAN IP: empty
server ip: 192.168.1.12 (local ip address)

2. And there is also an option to add a preset configuration for a bunch of legacy apps (wc3, sc:bw, etc)
+ Show Spoiler +

I picked Starcraft, 192.168.1.12 for the server... even that did not work.

3. And here is me checking which process is listening to port 6112, and finding which app that is.
