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. | ||

Kind of noob question but what is the difference between public game and private game ? | ||

Yes, i think the 10 seconds happens to everyone. also if you join a game then leave, then try to re-enter another game it sometimes gives you the delay as well. as for the main problem i don't know maybe the patches are too big to and your isps are unable to read them resulting in too much lag. well i don't know hope things work out for you though. | ||

Usually when this happens someone else is dropping due to yourself joining, at least in my case. | ||

- my connection is PPPoE (DSL ?) with username and password provided from ISP. - I don't have a router in my house (cable connects directly to my netcard) - ipconfig says 192.168.0.1 for Default Gateway. I go http://192.168.0.1/ but I find only a PHP page from my ISP where it describes the steps to make in order to connect to internet. - WinXP firewall disabled - I have a ZoneAlarm firewall but I even completely shut it down and still got the problem so it's not because ZoneALarm - I tried www.portforward.com to forward ports from the router (cause it has to be a router somewhere). The application is easy to use, but in order to make the changes permanent (in the router) you have to buy the application and I don't feel like spending 30$ on some thing that will not guarantee the solving of the problem. Cause I saw posts from a quite a few guys (including Manifesto7) who were saying that they tried everything possible and still got the problem. - When I am on BNet chat room, a netstat command shows a connection ESTABLISHED on remote port 6112. - When I create a game, a netstat command shows 3-4 connections WAITING on remote port 6112. - So is my 6112 port open or not ? - When I'm on BNet I don't have lag. When someone tries to join the game I created, that someone does not receive a message that I would have lag as the reason for not being able to join. It just says "Unable to join..." . I just want to play 6-7 games/day with mannered players close to my skill level (which is noob with 110 average APM no spam). The public games are just full of "2vs2 Fastest Zero Clutter BGH no rush for 20 min" shit. So I think that as long as I can join other people's games, I'll search for some good clan channels where I can have some fun games. Thanks for all your answers. Florin | ||

Wierd. this happens because you have too many files in your map folder try move all your old replays, maps or whatever to another folder outside of the map folder and problem solved | ||

Other users cannot connect to you unless you recently made a connection with them, which is why the battlenet connection works; because you voluntarily initiated a connection with bnet. People who try to join your games are "unknown" users so their connections get blocked. | ||

-I forwarded ports 6112 TCP and 6112 UDP in Windows Firewall. -I contacted my ISP because they gave me the router. They told me to contact the router manufacturer. -I followed the instructions on the support page for the router as best as I could: http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=promotion&localeCode=EN_USA&pageNum=12#wiredr-a12 but it didn't work--I say as best as I could because the layout in the FAQ is slightly different from the actual router user setup page. There's an option for UDP, TCP and UDP/TCP so I tried this: ![[image loading]](http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8380/portforward.png) and this: ![[image loading]](http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/1422/portforward2.png) but neither worked; I hosted games on ICCup and BNet and waited for 5-10 minutes. | ||

Just click on what router u have and go from there | ||

http://portforward.com/ is better for portforwarding than anything else out there. Just click on what router u have and go from there It asks me to pay for their program when I click on my router name. I downloaded their free port checker, but it always says "could not connect to portforward.com servers". | ||
