Since I started playing Starcraft online(US West, and now ICCup), I have never been able to host games. My lat will be in the red, and no one can join. And this has been a real problem lately because lately I've been trying to focus on one matchup a day(PvZ today, PvP tomorrow, etc.) to train, become better, and have fun. However, I can't host games... part of it may be that I lag sometimes. But I was wondering if there are any solutions I can do on my own. Anyone know of any? Thanks! ~| Icarus | ||

Yes, I"m using a router, a Linksys router to be more specific. I bought a new modem and a router after I finally told my parents that the router and modem were extremely outdated(like... I don't even remember when I bought it). So we bought a new modem and router. Does that clear anything up? | ||

My router's a real bitch, and after months of trying the ONLY thing that worked would be to turn on a dmz, and open all my ports [some crap like that, I forget]. But it only worked for a day, maybe three or four- depending purely on when my ip changed. It was frustrating and worked inconsistently, so I stopped bothering with it. Set your local computer's IP to 192.168.1.101. Set DHCP on your router to give out IPs starting from 192.168.1.102. Forward necessary ports to .101. Never have problems again.  | ||

So, it says to enter my static IP... does that mean I set it to 192.168.1.101 like ShadowDrgn said? And I hope this doesn't effect my PC security... it doesn't... right? :p Thanks so much for the help so far guys! ~| Icarus | ||

Also if your router has a list of programs to allow/block make sure starcraft isnt on the lists. While it seems counter intuitive some routers let you play on battle.net but not host on battle net with the blocked status. Edit: with some routers you can make it so that only starcraft and only your computer can acess port 6112. Sometimes that is hard though. | ||

I used rangasur's Port Forwarding website... and I did it but... it didn't work T.T I used their checking tool, and it says my port still isn't open... Gahhhh. But I appreciate all of your help! If I could just get another way to do it... anyone know? Btw, I did the port forwarding, but when I check my Wireless Network Connection, it still says that it's at its default numbers... gah | ||

go to start menu and click "Run" and type "cmd", after that, a new window pop up, type "ipconfig/all". You should be able to see your IP right now, for example, my computer is 192.168.1.101 (remember your Lan and wireless have difference IP, you should write them both) -Second, you have to go to your router configuration. Now open your browser, internet explorer or firefox and type in your rounter address. If you don't know, check in your router manual. For example, my router address is: 192.168.1.1. and then input your user name and password, they should be found in your router manual book as well, if you don't know, then ask the one who own the router. -thirdly, assume that you access your rounter configuration, try to find "Port Range Forwarding" and type in your IP, both your Lan and wireless, type your Range for starcraft, it should be 6112-6119 tick in UDP, TCP and Enable box. here is my example, remember my computer IP address is 192.168.1.101, but YOUR is different ![[image loading]](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o295/hammomytamso1/rountersetup.jpg) | ||

Service Name: Starcraft1 Service Type: TCP/UDP Start Port: 6112 End Port: 6119 Server IP Address: 192.168.1.1xx Is that all I need to do? Or is there something else I must do? I'm sorry if I seem ridiculously stupid... but first time doing it, and I really really wanna be able to host games so I can pick which matchups I wanna train :p Thanks so much for the help so far! ~| Icarus | ||

Put the NAT off. Depending on the router, its either very easy, or a fucking bitch | ||

Still not, then ask your friend if he/she can join your game if it is still not working, I don't know man | ||

I'd really appreciate any help on this of course. It's usually not that bad just having to join other people's games, but when there's only 8 people your rank in the channel and half of them can't create, it becomes a big problem. | ||

2. limit dhcp range (dhcp is the tool that gives the pc 's ip adresses) for example 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.20 i'd advice you to start from 100 to some number depends on ammount of pc's in your network. here it's for example 10.0.1.100 to 10.0.1.120 caus we have around 13 pc's around here (we always take some reserve) 3. give yourself a static ip. take 192.168.3 or something don't touch the router. (the ip adress must be out of the dhcp range) 4. now simply follow the portforward site 5. i geuss your firewalls is turned off huh? | ||

Thanks to something in this thread, to be honest, I don't know even know what I did. But whatever I did, it worked. I can host games now. I think it really started to work when I disabled the windows firewall. So thanks everybody, this thread really helped me. Now I can actually play MOTW whenever I want. No more python! No more python! | ||
