Hey guys, I have a couple of issues with Listchecker. Hopefully I can find help here.

When I host a public game with LC (/hostbnetpublic) it seems that the only people that join are friends and others who knew the game name. It is as if the game fails to show up on the game lists of much of the public dota players. Sometimes I'm able to gather up a full house after many refreshes and remakes, but such occasions are rare especially at night, which is when I do most of my dotaing with friends. I'm not sure if LC is working as intended, denying access to those who create the Battle.net delay or if I'm doing something wrong. In any case, is there any way I should reset up my LC or WC3 configurations to solve this problem?

My second question is: ever since I began using LC to host games, I've lost the ability to host games normally on Battle.net. When I try to make a game without using LC, people would get latency issues and nobody would join the game. However, when I turn on LC and host with it, people would be able to get in without any problems (except the one I stated above). I tried switching my WC3 port back to 6112, since LC switched it to 6113, but it was to no avail. Currently I'm stuck in a state where I can only create games with LC, and whenever I do, it takes forever to get a game going.

Anyways I'm sorta new to DotA, but am on a lot and have LC/Hamachi. If you're ever looking for a game feel free to send a tell to FioraLongears (Lordaeron).

what i do when i host public games on lc is have "/refreshbnet" copied to my clipboard, i paste it and click enter really fast like 10 times (like spamming it) and people usually come in if i refresh fast. but if you do it too fast for too long, you'll get ip banned from that realm so control yourself zz

not sure about your hosting/router problem, someone else could give you more advice on that

Shackle if you have a router you have to remember to open the port there too.

Make sure LC and wc3 have their separate ports. My LC is 6112 and my bnet is 6113. I am able to host both ways.

I'm not really sure about your problem with getting your game up publicly on bnet but I'm sure it has to do with your port issues. Remember to allow it through windows and through any firewall you may have. It's alright to turn off the windows firewall, it really doesn't do anything a firewall should anyway. [ XP that is ]

Actually I don't use a router when I'm hosting because I have a dynamic IP, I just connect my computer straight to my DSL so port forwarding should never be a problem. Is it possible to host on a router with a dynamic IP address? My ISP overcharges for static IPs.

My hosting port for LC used to be 6113, 6112 for BNet, and just now have changed LC to 6112 and BNet to 6113. Hopefully this will resolve the issue.

The only firewall I use is windows firewall and it's on at all times. I've allowed both WC3 and LC access through it. I'll try turning it off.

Thanks.

I've found DSL to be...too slow to host with.

Anyways, I'm sick and tired of pubs, so how exactly do I get into TDA or DXD or whatever?

if you have a icon on east you can get in other wise you have to do something like 100 posts and a safelist game in the dota forums or something like that. dxd you just join on west but im not sure about joining games that system confuses me.

You can host with a dynamic ip. Just make sure the ports [ 6112/6113 ] are assigned to your ip.
If you don't know how to check your ip
Start-->Run-->Cmd-->ipconfig /all

Maybe the reason you lost ability to host regularly is because when you allowed LC to be port forwarded you ip was changed therefore your 6112 and 6113's were probably open but your regular wc3 port was probably not forwarded to the right ip.

Edit: It was fun playing with you again Strafe. Maybe we can get a full game in next time.

Ack, that night I hosted my DSL connection divebombed just as I started to host. When your friends said they got considerable delay joining, I was very confused and decided someone else should host. Just as the other game started, I looked at my modem, and the light that monitors the signal strength looked like the 4th of July it was blinking so fast, which is a pretty big problem. Normally it blinks once per second, and that's when I've got a strong connection.

I know 6112-6119 are forwarded on my router, and I followed the tutorial for LC I found that said to change my WC3 port to 6113.

Maybe you've got a better idea of how it should be set up? I'm a newbie to the...internet connection stuff.
