How to host a game on warcraft battlenet

Jay, yeah, I have the same problem. My firewall had holes poked for the appropriate ports according to battle. I'm told that I am needing to have port forwarding because custom maps are hosted by the battle. Also Jay, I apologize for kind of hijacking your thread here, but I am also interested in learning about this same problem you have. Click to expand You must log in or register to reply here.

The router configuration should have a chart of IP addresses, and the port number. Sometimes this is under Firewall settings, Game applications, or some other similar menu.

Key in the number you picked and your computers local IP address A great utility to determine which ports are blocked, and how tough your security is.

This is essentially the same as configuring a router, but with a different interface. For each port you want opened, you need to add a service. You can call these anything you want.

Add a new service and call it Blizzard1 or something else you can remember. Then add your local IP address Add another service called Blizzard2, and add your local IP address Configuring the windows firewall in service pack 2 have changed a little. Instead of opening your connection, visit the Windows firewall settings from the control panel.

If your internet connection is through a college campus or work network, the system administrator would probably have to open a port for you if you want to host games.
