Topic: Newbie Question : how to open/forward port to all my client

[Babah]

ok .. i've searching the topics but seems i cant find it.

we r running SME server at internet cafe, and we want warcraft server game can connect to all client (192.168.1.*) via 6112 udp/tcp port.

we have succeded to 1 client only, using port forwading under server panel, but when we try to another client, it failed

so, we want all client (192.168.1.*) can connect to warcraft game server via 6112 udp/tcp port, how to this ?

sorry for my poor english and thank u very much

Unfortunately you can't forward a port to multiple computers. But I also run a SME (6.5b2) and have multiple computers with WoW on it. No problems here when 2 or 3 ppl are playing it.

yes, we can connect the game server, but we cant create/host room with more than 1 client and also if 1 client create room/host all other client in same network can't join but ppl outside network can join ...

Hmm ok. So you have forwarded port 6112 to computer A, and you can only create a room with computer A?
But then you can't 'see' the room from computers B,C,D,.. ? Are you trying to connect throught the LAN or through the Blizzardservers? (throught the 'internet')

Maybe you can give every client another port? But I don't know if Warcraft can handle that.

yes, when we create room with computer A, computer B/C/D cant create or join to computer A. we are trying to connect trough BattleNet Server (not blizzard server), there is no problem if we connect via LAN.

we also try to connect with any different port but the result still same, only 1 computer can create and other client cant join or create room

any other suggestion ?
