"cannot connect to battle.net" among other problems

[bilun]

I get an error saying i can't connect to battle.net possibly due to an invalid battle.net server or that I might need to manually connectto the internet if i have a modem.

I have cable so i doubt its the latter

First thing i though of was firewall/routerproblems....I disabled the firewall but why would router problems ffect my computer but not the computers my friendsare using(they can connect to bnet and such just fine)

sonext Itried downloading the patch from online, i did so and ran the patch(v 1.18a), but even after patching the game hosted on lan doesn't seem to show up onthis computer


so if anyone knows how to make bnet work,oreven better make lanwork, i'd appreciate it

First off, are you using an ORIGINAL software or a "fake"(pirated) one?

If it's the latter, then you'll need to use a private server. To access a private server, you'll either need a "server installer"(like PvPGN or Blueserver) or a BNGateway Editor. This is if you want to access Bnet.

If you want to use LAN(which in an online case, is actually IP connections), you have to use LANCRAFT.

I don't think we support illegal copies of the game here.

deffinately not a piratedcpy, unless i got majorly ripped off...i have no sense of direction and was lost in my car for over an hour trying to find comp usa, but thepoint is i bouht the copy in question from comp usa....as for landcraft: if thatstrue why can theother 2 networked computers play lan together?

 

[Kildare]

OH, you meant REAL LAN connections. I thought you wanted IP connections(which means direct connection to a host without going to Bnet)...

'Then I recommend contacting the manufacturer of the router. Since we do
not know what kind of router you are using your best bet is to contact the
router manufacturer so you can get technical support on how to configure
it.

For reference when you contact them, you can provide them with the
following informtion:

You will need to forward ports 3724, 6112, 6881-6999

Some firewall programs have preset ports available in their configurations
that are often necessary to be open. One in particular is a connection to
your DNS server. This usually takes place on UDP port 53.

This may sound like gibberish to you but it is information you will need to
provide when you contact your router's tech support.'

This is a reply I got when i had the same problem. Seems the ports needed werent open on my router. I had to manually go into the router, Select the ports needed and set up my router to allow them.

I still get problems, like only being able to do 1 thing before my connection dies, but atleast i can now get onto the servers . I probably missed something on my configuring, but I hope this helps you out .
