Need Help From A FireWall / Port Expert

[Skulblaka]

Not only can I not host WoW Private servers Publicly but I cannot host others such as Warcraft 3 / Diablo II / Xbox Connect / and so on.

- I've Port fowarded my router - no go. (I used games with just one port)
- I've removed my router going through just my modem - no go.
- I've turned off my computers fire wall - no go.
- I've fowarded ports to my modem as best as I could - no go.
- I've even also tried all of them at once - no go.

With that being said... I'm assuming it's my qwest dsl modem thats more difficult then crap to configure and or my computer has some tucked in firewall other then it's windows.

All help will be appreciated very much and will definetly +rep

Thanks.

Router Port Forwarding

Ok First go to: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall
Then scroll down and look for your router
For the example I'll take the DI-524 from D-Link
There's will be a list of game that will appear. Just find World of Warcraft
It will show you how to unlock the WoW port.
This is only for World of Warcraft Port ( 3724 / 3724 ).

Ports that you need to unlock:

Ok first of all You need to check the Enabled circle first.
For the name you can put like WoW1 to like 10 ...
for the Protocol you choose Both ( if you can't you will need to do one for TCP and another one for UDP)
Private IP is the IP that your router give to you ( 192.168.0.? or anything else like that )
Private port is the first port that i'll write like that: ex. 3323 / 3324 ( that's a ranged port but it's only an exemple so don't unlock this one 3323 will be the Private Port )
Public port is the Second port in the Example ( 3324 )
For the Schedule just put Always
Then you apply it.

Ok now the ports that you need to unlock are:

3306 / 3306
6881 / 6999
8129 / 8129
3036 / 3036
2093 / 2093
6112 / 6112
8050 / 8050
8245 / 8245
80 / 80
*** If you haven't unlock the WoW port do it now. Ports is 3724 / 3724 ***

I know there's somes router that only have 1 box to put the Port
so you to do a range port forward you need for the 6881 / 6999 put it like: 6881 - 6999 .

After that it's supose to work. If it not just post your problem here and i'll try to help.

I didn't copy this Guide. Made it by myself

If I helped you, you can rep me but I'm not doing it for rep. When i started was boring to try to find which port I had to unlock. so this is my guide that should help you out

[Skulblaka]

Aye, Well I will rep you for the effort I appreciate it but, as is mentioned up there... I was not using a router for most of it, and had already done all those in a previous step.
(i've did countless port fowards before rom portfoward.com due to xboxconnect which is terrible in trying to get host)
The Router is fully Port fowarded and im not even using it now. Being as thats the case, I am positive it is the Qwest DSL modem and/or my computer.
Qwest DSL modem - Actiontec GT701
As for my computer - Dell Dimension 9100

it may not even be either of those.
It may be the ISP network you're on, some of them lock the firewalls.
So, even though it LOOKS like you've got opened ports, you don't.
Call your internet provider, and make sure that they allow you to open ports, and do port forwarding.
Also note, any spyware program like Norton, ALSO has it's own firewall preventing you from setting that up, disable the standard windows one, and the spyware removal program.
Hope that helps.
