    Opening Ports Required for WOW server

    There are alot of ports that you have to open for a WOW server. If you are using windows firewall, this can be a real pain. From what I have encountered windows firewall does not allow adding port ranges, so you have to open each port manually. Below I have a windows batch file to open all the ports needed and labels each one.

    1> Create a file named OPENPORTS.BAT
    2> Copy and paste the code into the file.
    3> Run the batch file!

    Code
    ------------------------------------------------------
    @echo off
    Echo Attemping to open needed ports....Please wait....
    FOR /L %%R IN (6881,1,6999) DO netsh firewall add portopening TCP %%R "WOW Patches "%%R
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 3724 "WOWRealm List 3724"
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 80 "WOW Apache Web 80"
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 3306 "Wow Mysql 3306"
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 8129 "Wow Realm One 8129"
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 8130 "Wow Realm Two 8130"
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 8093 "Wow Server port 8093"
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 6112 "WOW Patches 6112"
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 3036 "Wow Arcemu 3036"
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 8050 "Wow World Server 8050"

    Echo -------------------------------------------------------
    Echo As long as you had no errors listed above, then all
    Echo the ports have been opened in the windows firewall.
    Echo -------------------------------------------------------
    Pause

    REM I hope you found this useful! Necroman
    -------------------------------------------------------------


    I am by no means a vertern at running a server, but this worked for me. If you see any problems or changes, please let me know!

    Ports batch file.

    Thanks for the Rep!

    Actually the batch file does not work with ANY routers and will not forward any ports. This batch file is for getting past windows firewall. (Routers and port forwarding are a completely separate obstacle.)

    Sorry if I did not make this clear.

    Why 6881-6999? Those are the wow patch ports, not related to the server. Also, unless you're planning on opening your mysql service to outside connections, it's good practice to keep the port blocked.
