Hey,
A couple weeks ago I bought a brand new router (WRT610N) And I could host on my laptop, just fine. Then the new computer parts arrived for my desktop, I put everything together, and tried hosting a Warcraft III game and it wouldn't let me. I made sure that the correct ports ere forwarded to the correct IP, and all was good. I then disabled the windows firewall, and router firewall in case they were blocking it. Still nothing. I tried hosting straight off of the modem without using the router and still no success.
Next step was Linksy's tech support, and they ultimately told me I had the router set up properly and that I needed to get another set of ports to put in the Range forwarding section of my router. Linksy's informed me that the 6112-6119 had to go in the port triggered section. When I had this all set up on my old router (WRT54G) all I needed was the port range, so I'm not sure if this router is different or if Linksys has terrible tech support.
After Calling blizzard they informed me that 6112-6119 were the only ports required to host, and they didn't know of anything else that I needed to do. they said it might be my modem, but he hadn't heard of that being an issue before.
My set up:
I've got comcast cable internet w/ RCA cable modem (6mbps)
Vonage VoIP
Linksys WRT610N with latest firmware
My network cards are all on recent drivers
Thanks for any insight you provide,
Medic
