Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated:

I have a Linux server using iptables for routing, on the network we have three computers, and of course we want to play in the same B.Net (sc:bw) games occasionally.

If anyone could help me with the configuration of iptables (that makes us get this working) or maybe explain how a program like multiproxy works (because I sure as hell can't figure it out), it would be greatly appreciated.

An alternate sollution would be that blizzard actually make a patch that makes this simple thing work, they did it for wc3, why not bw??

try google
Boxer will be in the US on the 16th - perhaps to give advice to South Korean President Roh, who is on state visit to the US this week, on how to handle any surprise tank pushes by North Koreans

hmm i'm using a router too ... (software called ipcop)
it should work if you simply forward the udp-port 6112 to your pc ...
but i think you know that...
maybe you have imonc ... with this software it won't work

(i know this isn't a real help but anyway )

It is not possible because you share the same ip, I have the same problem. All you can do is to hope blizzard will fix it.....

to play alone (1 player 1 connection) with more the 1 other player(2on2 or so) then you simply ned to forward 6112 upa ...

but playing f.e a 2on2 with 2 player over 1 connection isn'T possible (or only a few routers can do so ...)
the problem isn't the ip ... it's the port which can only be forwarded to 1 pc not to 2... if your router can forward like this:

6112: 192.168.99.1:6112
6112: 192.168.99.2:6112
my router can only forward a port to 1 pc not lie above to 2 pcs...
then it should work (or not.. not really sure)

Don't you just have to make it so that 2 IPs are showing? I could be wrong about that. Last I knew though, there was a way to get 2 IPs, 1 for each computer, thus allowing you to play. Everyone correct me though.

of course every pc has his own ip :p
but the 2 pcs go thrue 1 router into the internet and this router has only 1 ip ... if you want 2 ips you need 2 routers and 2 conections :p
(btw: then it will work :p )

This is a related question, I guess, so I won't start a new thread for it.

I just moved into college, and the college network seems to have some sort of limit (or something) on port 6112. I can't log onto battle.net without serious lag, and I can't play games on it at all.

Short of asking hte computer people to open the port, is there anything I can do (tunneling to another port, maybe) ? Or, alternatively, is there another server out there that doesn't use port 6112, but rather a port more likely to be open (like 80, or 21)?

I'm going nuts here.

had exact same problem, emailed college tech support they said sorry, we're not blocking diablo 2 (for some reason they assumed i play diablo when i asked about 6112).

for me though it seems to be a problem during peak hours. at night or in the morning it was perfectly fine. also if u try reloging it works eventually.

When i downloaded the latest update of my router somehow battle.net worked perfectly without configurating anything for it, multiple players from LAN and outside in 1 game. Pretty good for a cheap ass $60,- router

...This is a chill: The router here at work actaully CAME with a special programs settings for StarCraft!

Just because you can now store where everyone was and is, what they like, what they fear who they talk to and who they love. It does not mean we should so spy upon our fellow man in a dystopia far worse then 1984
