EPTI 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.

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

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. | ||

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'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. | ||

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. | ||

I can only play 1:1 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 can only play 1:1 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. | ||

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. | ||

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.
