I just recently installed Warcraft III on my Windows laptop. I was unable to connect to Battle.net and didn't know why.
I figured at first it had to be a firewall problem. I forwarded all of Blizzard's ports ( 6112 - 6119 ) via Windows XP Shell. Problem persists. I then decide to turn my firewall off. Still doesn't work. I even restart my computer and combine a couple of my previous guesses and play around but still nothing works.
I was then convinced that it may be Airport. I googled how to "foward ports", but it didn't look at all easy or understandable under the "Port Mapping" heading when configuring the Aiport Extreme Base Station.
So I instead decided to hop on somebody else's network to see if it was truly Airport. I finally connected to Battle.net. So, I guess my question would be how would I configure my abse station properly to connect to Battle.net ( those specific ports )? Do I need to loosen up my security settings at all?
