WarCraft III. Ports forwarded. No firewall. Can't host.

[EpsiIon]

I've been banging my head against this problem for a few days and figured I'd ask if anybody here has encountered and resolved this problem. I have a Netgear WGR614v4 router that has been hard reset several times (including once when I updated the firmware to 5.07).

I think the ports are forwarded properly because when I run Ethereal I can see attempted TCP connection setups that simply aren't completed. They seem to go:

From them to me: SYN (to port 6112)
From me to them: SYN/ACk (from port 6112)
From them to me: RST (to port 6112)
<repeat...>

Any thoughts from the network gurus? Thanks.

Did you forward TCP port 6112 to the right internal IP address?
Have you tried opening TCP port 6112 for everyone and seeing if that works?

Yes, I'm sure the ports are forwarded properly. I have reserved an IP address for myself on the router (which I actually have at the moment) and I have all incoming connection attempts on ports 6112 to 6119 forwarded to that IP.

I just ran another test and I have an Ethereal log with a slew of SYN, SYN/ACK, RST interactions (with no other apps besides WC3/Ethereal running), so I know packets are at least getting to my computer. The odd thing this time was that one person WAS able to join. He just remarked at how nobody was joining and left.

The really frustrating thing about this is that I set it up last week and could actually host for about 30 minutes before EVERYBODY got disconnected. Now I can't host at all. I've restarted my computer and router several times, but that doesn't change anything.

Could it be a problem with ur ISP/DSL provider? I've heard of some ISP's that block hosting over a home network and want u to pay 10 bucks a month to use their networking service. I would think that the port forwarding would get around that, but perhaps not.
