Topic: Can't connect outside of LAN

I'm having trouble making my server available outside my LAN.

When I start the server, I am able to log into it via my internal IP, but I am not able to log into it using the external IP. Is there something specific that you're supposed to edit to allow your server to be available to the public?

I've forwarded ports 6112-6119, 4000, and 16112 and allowed them through the firewall. Compatability mode is set to Windows XP3. Right now, I'm testing this with Warcraft 2.

I imagine I probably need to do something here in bnetd.conf:

#servaddrs = ":9999"
#servaddrs = "myinternalname.some.com,localhost"
servaddrs = ":" # default interface (all) and default port (6112)


I've tried putting in my external IP with port 6112. as well as port 16112, but I get an error message of "pvpgn::bnetd::_setup_listensock: could not bind bnet socket to address" each time


I've been able to previously host servers for non-Blizzard games, so I don't think it's an internet issues, for whatever that's worth.

Can anyone solve this problem？

Re: Can't connect outside of LAN

To me it looks like your ports are not forwarded.

SESSIONADDR2 set new UDP address to 192.168.100.1:8665？Why is no network segment assigned？

How to UDP broadcast when not in the same network segment? The pvpgn does not appear to be assigned a network segment.

Re: Can't connect outside of LAN

i figured out the problem. i had my network profile set to public instead of private, and my firewall rule was set to private access only. once i set the network to private, it worked fine. sorry to waste your guys' time
