PLease please please help!

I cannot host or join Warcraft II BNE TCP/IP multiplayer games over the internet from behind my DSL router. I've tried forwarding ports 6112 - 6119 & 4000 but it still won't work. I've also tried enabling DMZ to my local IP but that doesn't work either.

MAC OS 9.2
Warcraft II BNE v 2.02
LINKSYS BEFSR41
 
only the mac version supports TCP/IP at all

anyway, maybe Blizzard disabled tcp/ip play over the internet (because they want you to use battle.net)

I really don't know.

you need to enable both tcp and udp (in case you didn't)

does it work if you get rid of the router completely and connect the dsl modem to the computer?
 
re Warcraft Multiplayer w/ TCP/IP

Yes it works without the router. Another friend has a different router and we can't connect to him with his router although it is fine without it.
DMZ is enabled on both routers (no firewall) but they will not allow us to connect. Whoever is hosting can see players join and leave the chatroom, but players see nothing just the "Waiting for response" page.
And yes TCP & UDP are enabled.
 
when the game detects your IP address is it showing a local LAN IP or a public Internet address?
 
re Warcraft Multiplayer w/ TCP/IP

The game shows the local IP (LAN).

Is that it ?
 
help

i cant see my friend game in the local area when connecting with him and my friend is unable to join my game

    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • Ghan Ghan:

  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
