View Full Version : No one can join games I create




01-01-2001, 11:16 AM
I've been having a problem with games I create on B.net.

What happens is, everytime someone tries to join one of my games, they say it always says "Failed to Join Game".

It shows up in the "Join" list, and it shows the screen with the red bar and shiny door, but then they say it freezes for a few seconds, and then says "Failed to Join Game".

However, I am able to join games created by other people, so I'm thinking this is my problem.

I am a Mac User with DSL and am using version 1.04.

Please tell me what you think the problem may be.

Most likely, it has something to do with your DSL connection. Do you have a firewall or any security software running? Does your ISP have some sort of security filter on your DSL connection?

If so, ask them if it is possible to open up port 6112 to UDP and TCP/IP incoming/outgoing. If not, ask them if it is even possible to create games on Battle.Net using their DSL service. I am willing to bet they have encountered this question more than once from other subscribers (Battle.Net is pretty popular), but if not, ask them how they could enable you to "host" online games.

Post back on your progress and we'll see if we can help you further.
