#PORT FORWARDING WARCRAFT 3 PC#
Some routers may prompt you to select a certain device, in this case this would be the ONLY PC setup with that port forward and therefore the only device you would be able to host custom games from. If you are asked to enter a name for the service, enter "Battlenet" and you will also be asked for a port, which is 6112 However, for almost all you are going to click the "Add Port Forward" or "Add New" button. If you can't find it, post a screen shot and I or others will try to assist.Īs far as setting up the port forward goes, again every router is going to be a little different. Sometimes there is a link on the main config page, other times you need to first go to an advanced settings menu. You need to find the Port Forwarding options. Every router configuration page is going to be different. If not, that means you or someone else has probably setup some custom IP settings and you will need to figure out what these are.Īfter you have successfully logged in, you should see the configuration screen.

If you don't know the password and can't figure out how to reset it, make a post in the Simple Questions, Simple Answers Thread with the make and model of your router and someone should be able to help you.Īssuming you know the login, open a web browser and type the following into the address bar: 192.168.1.1 and you should be prompted for the login and password. If you have no clue what it is, it's probably the default which is usually Admin/password on netgears, Admin/Admin on linksys (and then FOR GOD'S SAKE CHANGE THE PASSWORD!!!!).

If your PC is connected directly to the internet, you are good to go. If it is not listed, you will need to add it to the list by clicking the Add Program button and finding it in the list. You should see a list of Programs, if WC3 is on the list simply make sure the box next to it is checked. If for some reason WC3 is not being allowed through Windows Firewall in XP, open Control Panel and find Windows Firewall. Find WC3 on the list and ensure both boxes are checked as shown below and click OK On this Window, on the left side menu, look for Allow a Program or Feature through Windows Firewall and click on this. (If you have changed the appearance of Control Panel, just click on Windows Firewall) If you have Control Panel setup the default way, click on System and Security. If you have your network location set to "Public" Windows Firewall will not allow WC3 through. When you click to allow WC3 through Windows Firewall, it will only do so on a "Home" or "Business" connection.
