If you have wireless internet, the router is what gets the connection wirelessly.

A modem is what is actually connected to the phone line/cable line, and usually sends the internet to the router, or through the LAN cables.

To forward a port, you have to go into your internet options on your computer, and give your computer a static IP Address.

www.portforward.com is a great site to show you how.

Then, you have to type in the IP Address of the first computer that your modem is connected to, into the browser. It will probably be 192.168.0.1 . Find port forwarding, and type in the port number you want to be forwarded (I think WC3 is 6112). Save changes, and then try it.

Well, there are bright and less bringht people. For the less bright people:
Go to that website. I hope its not 2 complex so far. The site will open up. Now at the top select GUIDES. If you look around, there isnt much alternative that can be confusing. I mean, why would u click on store or reviews.
A new page will open up. I wanna bet that u are already clicking on CLICK HERE TO AUTOMATICLY bla bla bla. Well, dont! Its not that easy, thats just a banner. Instead, scroll down and click on Port Forwarding Guides by Router
Scroll down and select your Router ID. (mine is MSI RG54SE, u can find it on the box of the router). After you selected your router a new window will open up. DONT CLICK ON BANNERS AND publicity, scroll down and select the game. My guess its Warcraft III. There you will have a step by step tutorial how to forward port 6112. Ofcourse you'll need to know the security code of your router. If ur brother/father installed it, ask them to do it. If no1 installed anything, you just plugged it in, try the default login

    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
