Hi all

I have a problem: when I create a game on BNet, nobody can join it. On the other hand, I can join other's people games and play them perfectly well. Any idea why I people can not join the games I host? Thanks in advance.

Florin

Yup, probably router.

Edit: if you have a router try disconnecting it and connect it directly to the modem.

I have a PPPoE connection. Could this be a part of the problem ?
I have only one PC in my house (cable directly connected to netcard), no router.

It has to do with your connection: either your router or your firewall is messing things up.

Search for old threads on it. You might need to do some port forwarding (again search).

Yes you have to forward the ports that are used for sc.

You should be able to do this at firewall options, at the exceptions tab and click add port. I don't know which port(s) need to be forwarded though.

wow, 6 posts and no one knows his problem.

it is port forwarding on you router. you need to foward port 6112 for starcraft. go to www.portforward.com and find your router, then follow their procedure.

now if only I knew why my games lagged with more than 2 people in them.... I can only play 1:1

I had this problem at my last residence I tried everything including port forwarding (6112) nothing worked at all. 6 months without sc >.< could only play it via LAN. Later found out my old ISP had that port closed. So if after port fwding the problem still persists, check your ISP.
Never had this problem on cable though, only DSL

Yeah, until 2 months ago I had modem Internet connection [DHCP ?] and everything worked fine. Now my ISP changed to fiber link (PPPoE [DSL ?])

I'll try what Silver sugested and see how it goes.

Here is what I've found on some old threads:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=45244
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?currentpage=1&topic_id=22480

When I'm on BNet (chat room), I give a nestat command and I see connection established on port 6112. When I create a game, I see 2 or 3 connections on port 6112 WAITING.

kovacs, I don't think it can be helped.

I've encountered the same problem for the past couple of years and even tried port forwarding but it didn't work. I think when all else fails, then it's just a simple latency issue and can't be resolved by tweaking any hardware or software on your end.

yes. And when you asked that the obs to leave, they bitch and moan and call you a hacker. happened to me already.

seriously folk, if you want to see the game, watch the replay. it's not the same but at least there will be one.

I had this problem when I had enhanced AI installed. Removing it should do the trick. If that's not the problem (and I assume you've re-installed SC), then I don't know -_-;;

that 2 person lag problem has been addressed MANY times here.
you need to add a game data value or w/e in registry for 2nd comp, set it to decimal value 6113-6118, and forward that port through your firewall.

It was answered last time about 2 weeks ago.

I forwarded the ports on my router, but still the public games I make are unjoinable. With private games, it is hit or miss, with some people able and some people getting the latency. It sucks, I miss the good old days where everything just worked.

Slightly off topic, but when you guys join battlenet and then join the first game, does it freeze for 5 or 10 seconds before showing the game lobby? I always get a huge delay when I join my first game, but then after that it is no problem. Wierd.
