edit: Can play now using a VPN service. Found a free one that only gives 300kbps, but that's enough for sc2. Still not ideal since it might cause a bit of lag, but it's playable.

I recently moved to a new apartment/dorm. The internet connection/speed is fine, but I simply cannot play sc2 at all. Whether I try to create a game, join a custom, get invited to a lobby, or use the ladder auto-match.

It will either get to "Player Found!" and then never proceed for ladder, or it will have the loading circle for joining/creating, and I cannot even get into a game lobby. Once I try to create/join once, the buttons will then be grayed out once I cancel and try again.

I figured some ports I needed were being blocked , but the IT person claims they don't have any ports blocked or anything like that.

I'm using a wireless, unsecured connection (it's supposed to require a user ID and password, but they don't have it set up correctly.)

Additionally, torrenting I cannot get to work at all, this isn't important to me, but I thought it might be related. It's pretty damn odd really, I cannot download the .torrent file, and I've tried various sites. If I click the button to begin the .torrent file download (the tiny file that the client uses) then I my mouse just gets the little hourglass for a while until the page becomes unresponsive.

Thanks for any insight into this, I think the two issues must be related. The not being able to even download a .torrent file has me pretty perplexed.

edit: The games I try to join and the ladder games I try to play still get put on my match list as losses or ties, interestingly enough.

Have you checked yourself whether the ports are blocked or not using http://www.canyouseeme.org/ ?

Starcraft II uses port 1119.

That's what Blizzard says Starcraft II uses :| I'm just the messenger: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=34063

If you're not connectable on your torrents than your ports aren't opened or there is something restricting it.

If you aren't even able to download torrent files than that points to the ISP blocking you.

I get:

"Error: I could not see your service on 64.206.141.xx on port (1119 )
Reason: Connection refused"



Trying random ports, I've yet to find one that doesn't give me the above error.
