UDP and port 6112

[MilliDEATHS]

Well, it amazes me too. I logged onto b.net us west gateway and it says: My internet connection is poor or that UDPs aren't transfering respectfully through port 6112. I'm puzzled, though I can still access us east connection with no problem except the connection is 1g higher.


Thankyou for your time and consideration.

I would say there's a routing problem between your ISP and USWest, several people have been having this problem lately.

Call your ISP and see if they know anything, or if they might be able to fix it.

Same Problem

Im having the exact same problem, the thing is, Im on a network connection and my brother connects just fine. (we have diff cd keys). Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it doesnt seem to want to work. The only thing my BW will allow me to do is chat online. If someone has any answers to this plz reply or send me an email at [email protected]

Your problem is that you need a router..becuase both of you are using the same IP address..and only through the router will u get a seperate IP to log onto b.net u wont be able to host any games..but u will be able to join them..

First of all, a router will NOT assign you separate external IP addy's unless you've arranged for (and most likely get charged extra for) that service from your ISP.

Secondly, battle.net works quite well with multiple comps using the same external IP addy for their games with a few limits and/or router adjustments. This has already been discussed in Memnoch's thread about NAT. Find it and read it ! (I'd post the link but I'm too tired to look it up)

The inability to connect to battle.net's uswest realm is a common problem these days. Also, running a tracert to uswest will not show any problems whatsoever. Magic Man mentioned to me that this was because tracert uses ICMP packets. He thought that perhaps a router along the way was blocking the ports necessary for Blizzard games. who knows for sure .....

All I can suggest is that you verify that you're using the same DNS settings as your brother. If you are, then try deleting the bncache.dat file as it seems to be the cause of alot of Blizz gaming woes.

If you still can't connect to uswest battle.net then contact your ISP and/or Blizzard support.
