- You must allow ports 6112-6119 TCP and UDP out and in, through all firewalls! - MOST COMMON PROBLEM!
-Linksys Port Forwarding
-Netgear Port Forwarding
-D-Link Port Forwarding
-Windows XP Firewall (comes from SP2)- Go to Start > Control Panel > Security Center > Windows Firewall
- Either go to the Exceptions tab and allow the ports, or turn the firewall off.

- Do you have multiple computers using the same external IP address (LAN)?
- You must use ports consecutively to allow this to work.
- For example: You have internal IPs of 168.192.1.100 and 168.192.1.101.
- The first IP 168.192.1.100 would need port 6112, the next IP 168.192.1.101 would need port 6113.
- Make sure to install all current patches. If you cannot download from battle.net, here is a list:
- Reinstall
Troubleshooting:
- Reduce the problem to the router or computer (do each step separately):
-Connect MODEM directly to computer, test.
-Turn OFF all software related to firewalls, test. - Make sure your modem doesn't include an internal router/firewall. Research this information before posting.
- Check the Options menu in the game to make sure the port number matches the port you are forwarding.
- Use a static IP address (prevents the internal IP address from changing).
