hey guys, I have a question about my problem that happened yesterday. Ok, the day before yesterday (aka Wed.) Everything was working fine. But yesterday (aka Thurs) it tells me that my internet connection is bad, or the Port 6112 isnt accepting UDP Packets and I can only chat. What does that mean? My internet connector is AOL and I have DSL with it, was DSL having a bad night? Or is it something on my comp?

Please help,
AMPowers

Edit: Oh yeah, my dad reset our comp to Wed., somehow my comp can do that, and I tried getting on and it still wouldnt let me

Are you getting the message that you may not be configured for dial-up networking?
Solution 1 of 1


AOL users
To connect to Battle.net via AOL, make sure you are running the latest version of the AOL software.

To check the version you are using:

Run AOL
Click on Help from the menu
Select "About America Online"
For information on downloading and installing the latest version of AOL:

Connect to AOL
Click on the Keyword button
Type "UPGRADE" then click GO
Select the latest AOL version available.
Follow the Online Instructions
Make sure you are connecting to AOL with parental controls turned off. If you have continuing problems try logging onto AOL using the Main Account. You can also try connecting to AOL using a different local access number.

Macintosh users
In addition to the above...
Make sure the "quit other applications" option is unchecked in the startup option menu. To view the startup options hold down the option key while you double click on the games application icon from your hard drive. Then make sure the "quit other applications" option is unchecked and click continue.

If you continue to have problems connecting, quit the game and delete the games preferences file.

If this error happens at irregular intervals, Battle.net may be down for maintenance - please try again later. Otherwise, please try the following steps in the order they appear. If step 1 does not help, proceed to step 2 and so forth:

Return to the main support menu, select the product you are using then check the patch information to make sure you have the latest version installed.
If you use a modem to dial up to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), ask your ISP for an alternate phone number to try.
Open the folder where you installed the game and find the bncache.dat file. Select this file and push the 'F2' key to rename it. Rename bncache.dat to bncache.old and push the 'enter' key.
If this fixed the problem please email the bncache.old file to Blizzard Technical Support (http://www.blizzard.com/support/information/contact_info.shtml), along with information on the problem you were having.

Checking your Internet connection:
Bandwidth Speed Test: If you are still having problem you may want to check your current connections available bandwidth at (http://msn.zdnet.com/partners/msn/bandwidth/speedtest500.htm).

Internet Traffic Report: The Internet Traffic Report (http://www.internettrafficreport.com/) monitors the flow of data around the world. You may want to visit this web site to get an idea about the reliability of your region's connections.

If the Internet connection information shows you have a connection below what you think your modem, and ISP should be connecting at, please contact your ISP to see if there are any problems with their service.

Currently AOL and CompUSA people are having problems connecting to battle.net. After sitting in BTS for 3 hours trying to have someone in OTS banned for excessive flooding JasonRS FINALLY got his point across that there was a routing error (In 3 hours he only helped about 5 people) with these suppliers causing UDP packet errors and that it should be fixed within a few days.
That moron kept asking people for traceroute logs who obivously have no clue what a command prompt is, how to get to it, and especially how to make a log of a traceroute.
To JasonRS if he ever visits this board : Look for a new line of work and please ban account "Encrypto" on USEast.
