Custom Games Problem...

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Dermslash

First thing's first.. a dancing banana..

Okay.. Now my problem. Whenever i make a custom game.. nobody joins. I know IM NOT THAT UNPOPULAR. i've tried SEVERAL TIMES, and I even contact the stupid support on Bnet.. I got two answers.. Comcast cable isnt supported by blizzard (this guy had no idea what he was talking about). And then i should try changing the port or whatever it's called.. it was set at 6112 default. And he said since i got two comps on my network, i should try different ports with increases of 2. I tried that.. im up to 6190. Could one of you help me out?

Turn off your firewall.

Check battle.net 's help section and look for ports you need to open in order to host games. It's something like from 6000-9000.

simple enough to check, just take down your firewall or open all your ports. but some people are just stuck not being able to host games.

You could write something about your computer set up. Are you behind a router? A school firewall? A software firewall like ZoneAlarm?

How are you connected to the Internet..

Telling me how much RAM you have helps nothing with solving your problem.

You need to tell us the following information:

Do you have a firewall? If yes, which one?
What operating system do you have?
Do you have a router? If yes, what kind?
How much RAM does your system have?
What is your processor speed?

Don't just say "I'm a newbie, I don't know" -- that doesn't help us answer your question. We absolutely need this information to help you troubleshoot!

Oh, and just FYI, Blizzard doesn't "support" Comcast cable. That just means that they can't tell you anything about how Comcast sets up their networking, or how well Comcast handles data packets, or what ports Comcast may block automatically. It's just not possible for Blizzard to have this information for every regional ISP out there!
