OKAY IM GOING TO TRY TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU!


1) Accessing the Router
Log into your router. The IP is usually something like: 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.1.1

If neither of those work, go to Start>>Run, and type: "cmd" (no quotes)

After you've typed cmd, you should get a DOS prompt screen. Now, type: "ipconfig" (no quotes)

Your IP address could be:
###.###.#.###

Exclude the last octet (numbers after the last "."). Replace them with a 1.
So, it would then be:
###.###.#.1

This should bring you to a login screen, or the router settins page. If you're on the page without a login screen, please skip step 2.

2) Logging In

Different router companies use different ways of logging in to your router. For the most part, routers use the company name as the user name, and admin as the password.

Example:

Linksys
User: linksys
Password: admin

D-Link in-particular likes to mess with people. They use D-Link as the login, and the router's model number as a password. To find your model number, look on the bottom, or back of the router.

3) Port Forwarding

It's named differently on different routers. Names to look for, include:
Application Exceptions
Exceptions
Virtual Servers
Applications and Gaming
Port Ranges
Port Forwarding

Once you've found the proper page, it normally has a blank space for the application name, and a few different spaces for numbers.

First Range:
Application/Description: Blizzard Battle.net
Inbound port (range): 6112-6112
Type: UDP
IP: Recall the number given to you in the "ipconfig". Place that number here.
Private Port(not all routers have this): Match to inbound range.

Second Range:

First Range:
Application/Description: Blizzard Battle.net
Inbound port (range): 6112-6112
Type: TCP
IP: Recall the number given to you in the "ipconfig". Place that number here.
Private Port(not all routers have this): Match to inbound range.

First Range:
Application/Description: Blizzard Battle.net
Inbound port (range): 4000-4000
Type: TCP
IP: Recall the number given to you in the "ipconfig". Place that number here.
Private Port(not all routers have this): Match to inbound range.


Now, save your changes.

i don't know if i put more or less info than hendricius did but i have tried. AND if it helps any of you, rep is appreciated!

[unkarzz]

W00T I CAN HOST!!!!!

-For all you people that are like i USED to be this is how to fix it if you have a Dlink router and others

log into your router get help from PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall
then go to virtual server or what portfoward says
forward these ports 6112-6119 both UDP and TCP call the port somthing like
WarcraftIII1/WarcraftIII2 etc...
then you can go Start/Run/Cmd/ipconfig then put the ip adress in the private ip area
then click apply
heres the part i missed
UNPLUG the router for about 20 secs and then plug it in again and Voila your done thats it i hope you can host now

[unkarzz]

is appreciated if that helps
