I understand this has been asked 1000+ times but I know what I am actually doing but am just stuck. Well, short story, I use to play WC3 about 8 months ago, made maps and was able to host. I had a different router and well 8 months later I am back to play again however when I reinstalled WC3 I remembered: I have a new router. I am running a DI-624. I just googled, "how to host in warcraft 3 DI-624" and well this popped up. I was thinking, okay, this is going to be really easy.

Turned off my firewall, even went into exceptions and set all the ports ranging from 6112-6119 and even made warcraft 3 program and exception.

Went to command prompt, did the old ipconfig and god my ip address. Went to my router info and followed the link directions.

Code: 
[B]Enabled[/B]
Name : warcraft	
Private IP : 192.168.0.108	
Protocol Type : both	
Private Port : 6112 	
Public Port : 6112	
Schedule :	Always

I did this 7 more times, each with 6113, 6114, 6115, etc.

I thought for sure this would make me able to host. It was just so simply 8 months ago on my old router :(

So can anyone maybe see anything i am leaving out or doing wrong? Thanks and +rep and love lol.

Well honestly I don't know exactly what I did. I was fooling around with it and well I used portchecker and it kept saying all my TCP ports were closed and I was like what? I really don't know lol, all I know is that I changed my main port in battlenet options to 6113 and my settings in my router to 6113 and set it to both and it worked.

This really won't help anyone because everyones is different. I looked at a lot of tutorials a long time ago and almost everyone was slightly different. It is the same process but some people say set it to only TCP some say set it to BOTH. In the long run, all you gotta do is try TCP or BOTH and then mess around with your ports. Only use 6112-6119 though...

Well that's really all I got. Sorry if this doesn't help :(

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
