Router issues please help
by Kxr1der | 06/02/2009 04:02:30 I live in a house at college and we have 2 routers each with its own modem. The one I used to use is farther away from my room so I switched to the closer one and now I cant connect to battle.net anymore. The old router was a linksys while the new one is a net gear. I have no problem connecting to the internet and everything other than battlenet works fine. I've read that port fowarding is a problem sometimes but since there are other people using this router i didnt want to mess with that. The message I get from Bnet is that I cant connect to the server and I may be trying to connect to one not in use. Also I ran that Bnet tool and it had no problem connecting to Battle.net, its just the game and Im thinking the router may not know where to send the packets but I thought that packet fowarding problems would only prevent me from hosting a game. Any help would be really appreciated, Id hate to have to switch networks everytime I played online. |

That way you can set up the firewall properly. Are you running any security software on your system? The universe is already insane. Anything else would be redundant.
