Ok so your ports are blocked and you can't open them... Which type of router are you using? Has this always happened?

[crustygloves]

i have a BEFSR41-v3 and it has always been happening

[Facedown98]

I've never touched that kind of router, how are you able to change the port settings with it? Do they save?

[crustygloves]

I don't know exactly what you mean when you say "how are you able to change the port settings with it". but yes, the changes i made saved

[Facedown98]

That's strange. Now, this may not be the case, but here goes... Sometimes the IPS (Verizon, etc.) blocks some of these ports on their server for you. I suggest calling them and finding out if it's blocked.

i don't think that would be it, i have a friend that lives next door, with the same modem, and service provider. He can host fine, the only difference is he doesn't have a router and i do.

For 'Inbound Services' the port 6112 is used for Warcraft 3. If you are able to, you must try and have access granted to that port of your router.

I believe that for 'Outbound Services' port 6112 also must be opened.

The methods for opening ports manually on routers vary for each Brand, and different on some models also, therefore i cannot advise on how to do this, nor am i responsible for any mistakes made / problems caused. This is my own advice, and i warn you should only open ports if you understand what you are doing.

Well in any event, you know just a bit more about networking Glad to see it worked for you. I was starting to wonder myself

My friend wants to host Warcraft 3 and ive been trying to help him for the past 3 days and we just cant figure out how to do this. We would really appreciate if you could give us like a step by step analysis if at all possible. His router is 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGT624 v3.
