[LOBBY] cant join/host games - no fw/router

[dw.Joker]

i can play the tutorials, everything is fine. i have no problems playing other games in online-mode.

i can logg in, chat but when i join a game it says 'Connecting' for about 30 secs and 'The Host could not be found'. doesnt matter if its a ping of 60 or 4xx.

hosting a game is really: weird :here: i choose map, wait for players then after 1 min or so i get following error:
'Couldn't register the game with GameSpy:
Couldn't talk to the GameSpy listing server, it may be down or your firewall may be blocking UDP communication with the server.'

as i said before i have no downloads running, no firewall or router or any other programms that could be interfering with my internet connection.
i would appreciate some help over here, im a big wh40k fan and really enjoyed the game so far (well the tutorials...)

Double Post

i found something in my warnings.log, i think this occures everytime i try to join:
12:01:00.9 Game not comapatable, different version (ours "1.3", theirs ""

any ideas? i havent modified anything about my dow install, its all clean

[Other]

I am also having the same problem. Same error shows up in my log as well.

[[squig]]

here the same probs and the same entries in warnings.txt.

plz help.

[dw.Joker]

is there a workaround for this? cause its not some graphic issue, you cant barely play the game at all...

[Ridinghood]

i am having the exact same problem

[Tyranid]

i have the same problem, but after some tries it works then...

[dw.Joker]

well it never works for me, doesnt matter how hard i try

[Avanger]

same problem same warning in warning.txt
and when i joine games i got this warning in game
can play tutorials

[garwind]

you must open ports or nat mapping port : UDP 6112
and see also for 2300-2400 range ports !

[dw.Joker]

please read the thread properly before posting!
i have NO router/fw why should i open ports?!!!

[ÜberJumper]

The game not compatible error is irrelevant.

Post the contents of your warnings.log file please.

[mecha]

The version warning has nothing to do with the problem, that shows when you don't have the full details for a hosted game. Games that don't have the full details aren't shown to you so there's no way you will be able to select them to join, or even see them in the list.

Something is stopping you from talking to the gamespy master server, probably the same thing that's stopping you from connecting to other games.

What operating system are you using? Windows XP?

What are the details of your connection, is it University? Company? DSL? Cable? Dial up? What provider?

[dw.Joker]

ok here we go:
im using winxp all up2date, TDSL (768 kb/s i believe) no fireall/ xp firewall/ no router

heres a quote of the first lines in the warnings.log

Sorry, you're saying you do or don't have xp firewall enabled?

Also, those logs miss the interesting bits :) email the whole log to me by clicking on my name in the forum and selecting the email option. Make sure that you've just run the game and had those problems as the file is overwritten each time you run the game.

Thanks!

[bobsbarricades]

i only have half of his problem. I went into XP a while ago and opened udp 6112 and
tcp 6112 for warcraft 3.

I get the hosting problem. I am unable to host games and get the same error message. I don't have a router or firewall (and can't remember how to get to the windows firewall...embarassing)

[dw.Joker]

i sent you the full warnings.log mecha, hope it helps

[Oberstein]

I have the same problem: using windows XP with the firewall turned off (but I haven't done anything in particular to the ports). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[BlueulB]

problems! yeah. have the same "Host not found" Problem.
Let's found a club.


My Warnings.log (http://www.mitglied.lycos.de/kevinspeckmaier/warnings.txt)


Edith says, that I opened all the DoW and Gamespy ports. TCP and UPD.

[max]

i have the same problem.its killing me :(

[bobsbarricades]

what are the gamespot ports? DoW shares the same ports as WC3 so they're already open. Thanks

[dw.Joker]

any news? :(

EDIT: i tried to create some different gamespy-accounts with both the same and diff. email-adress... no success however.
ideas are welcome

[bobsbarricades]

i still can't find the gamespy ports to open

[dw.Joker]

i found the problem, at least for me:
xp's internetconnectionsharing is activated so my brother can play wc3 and i enabled some ports for him. what i didnt know was: these ports arent open for me anymore.
the critical port is UPD 6112

stupid myself *argh*

[PureChaos]

whats the diffrence for udp and tcp. Cause i can get on and i do have a router and i use the 6112 tcp and it works fine. Just wondering whats the diffrence of udp.
