Port Forwarding

Any techies in the house know more about this?

I just wanted to play some OG starcraft and decided to try and port forward in order to host games. I went through the process of opening my router and creating the port forward.

Create IPv4 Create IPv6

Local External
IP Address Start Port End Port Start Port End Port Prot Description Enabled Remove All
XXXXXX 6112 6112 6112 6112 BOTH Name 1 Yes Edit Remove
Looks something like that. I made sure my firewall wasn't blocking starcraft. Yet when I test the connection, I still get told that my port is closed.

Is there a reason you obfuscated your ip address?

If I had to guess I would say you have to forward to your NAT address and not the router address.

That usually starts with 192.168.x.x,172.16.x.x,or10.1.x.x

There is also no 100% way to tell by the information you've given that both udp and tcp are open on that port, but since the ports are listed twice, that's a slim chance.

You may also have to disable the firewall in the router to some extent and not just windows.

Now if you could figure out how to get Xbox controller support on Steam games that don't have explicit controller support that'd be great
