You have to open your router page in your browser, and open ports 6112 through 6112, in TCP and UPD, both. Then it should work.

More precisely, you need to give the computer you're playing sc1 on a static IP, then forward port 6112 to that local IP.

static IP as in to assign static IP for my IPv4 settings? i have set the TCP and UDP for port forwarding on the router. Could it be my speed? it's 10mbps. Thanks for the information.

No it's not your speed. You can play BW over 56kbps. Yes assign the assign IP under your IPv4 settings. Make sure that IP and the IP that you forward port 6112 to are the same.

It's def your router. This is something everyones had to do to play BW.

Just follow the steps here. Select the router, select the game then follow the instructions.

i see. my wireless router is ZyXEL1432-B101 and I did the port forwarding in the Router as well as on my computer. But still with the same result.

Have you tried completely disabling your windows firewall?

I recall having an issue like this years ago and it turned out to be because my windows firewall was denying traffic on port 6112. Usually this exception is made when BW is first installed/launched, but whatever reason perhaps it didn't.

Of course if it is the firewall you just need to add a manual rule allowing the traffic because it's not a good idea to simply turn your firewall off.

i agree. that's why i manually allowed 6112 TCP and UDP in my firewall as exception. maybe i should try with firewall disabled for just 1 time and see.

Did you give your computer a static IP on your network? Most of this stuff won't work if the router is dynamically assigning an IP every time the PC turns on.

To enable static IP you also need to provide DNS IPs. You can use these: http://www.opendns.com/opendns-ip-addresses

i set my ip 192.168.1.30 with 255.255.255.0 and the gateway as 192.168.1.1
for my dns i set primary to 4.2.2.2 and secondary to 208.67.222.222
it's strange, sadly with the same result.
i called my ISP and they said they don't put any restriction to any port. we have to do it on the router.

You might just have Access Control in Windows set too high and there may be a box waiting for you on your desktop to allow opening of this port for StarCraft. This was all I had to do on my old winXP laptop.
