Port 6112

[OneFromBeyond]

Port Forwarding...I have no idea what this means. I just want to enable ports 6112 through to 6119 on my router, and all they have is Port Forwarding and Port Triggering. Which one do I want? If I do triggering, what port is triggered for Diablo 2? It works fine without my router BTW.

I can't connect either and it was working earlier.. plus I know for sure my 6112 is forwarded. Server problem?

hrm..spoke too soon..i got to play about 20 mins...took a shower came back and i was booted...but now i can't get back in...and i have the 6112 port issue again...although i had just forwarded my ip etc...=/

try setting your ip as a dmz on your router, it might be your isp or something else causing the disconnects

thanks for the tip fferhrxx (haha man at this point im beat ive tried for about 2-3 hours tring to get this to work and i thought iwas fixed after i followed the instructions of the website you provide (i think that link was on blizzards site too)...

what is the dmz? and how do it set my ip as dmz? thanks...

The DMZ hosting feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer so the Internet can see it.

Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.

be sure to turn if off when not needed, as the entire internet will be able to see your computer, it bypasses all firewall and port forwarding features ect..

setting it on every type of router is different
should be near the port forwarding and port triggering pages

ah gotcha..so only for gaming huh>?....ill keep that in mind and give it a shot in the router control page....thanks

hrm after playing around with it somemore at my gfs place...it still wasn't working...it did for a 20-30 min period...but then it stopped...

i haven't a clue why...even though i opened the port on both her router and zonealert/alarm its very strange
