Port forwarding to custom games created by users

Postby mbennet » Wed Mar 28, 2018 5:13 pm

Hey,
since i need to open all ports manually I cant connect to the Ent Server.
I can Login to Battle.net and stay logged in, but as soon as i want to join a game, it says that they cant find that game.
I found the normal Port range from the ENT Games that are hosted automatic by Ent. Since then i can connect to those games.
But Unfortunately I cant connect to the games that are created by Players over the Ent site and Makemehost(dont know if you have something to do what that site)
So I wanted to ask if you could give me the IP/Port Range for the Custom Games created by Players over the site.(Ent and makemehost)
Best greedings

@mbennet

Opening ports are normally only needed when you're attempting to host a game through battle.net

Here is an article with all ports that Warcraft III uses:
https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/7842

Have you used the clipboard icon to copy the game name?
Are you disconnecting from battle.net as a result of trying to join a game?

If the answer is "Yes" to my first question, and "No" to my last question above, you may have something on your end preventing Warcraft III from communicating properly.

I'd first check you in-client port value and ensure it's within the designated ports
Main Menu -> Options -> Gameplay

Check your built-in firewall or your antivirus to ensure it is not blocking connections to those ports in general. Also, ensure your Warcraft III client is added as an exception to your firewall.

No, im not disconnecting from a Game. When i try to Join it Takes years to load ans after about 30 sec it says that the Game couldnt be found. It doesnt Matter If i write the Name in search Box or Double click a Game in the Game list. The Result is the Same. I Cant unblock wc3 from the Firewall since the Port Blocking is coming from the Router. The Port in gameplay ist 6112. I needed to Open a Port range/IP range to be able to Join ent Games , so i only can Imagine that i need to Open more Ports.

If your router has port blocking features, then it should also have capabilities to whitelist programs to pass through.

The router doesnt recognize from which programm the signal comes, so i only got the choice to test every single ent server and open it manually or someone got a list which ip/port the server are using
