Kermitfan Posted March 12, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hmm well I got Xp with sp 2 ISP is the only possible at my region, although im sitting on a public network at a school and it has worked to play before using wireless here. Atm Im sitting on a laptop with an Intel® PRO/wireless 2200 bg Network connection and a realtek RTL8139/810x Family fast ethernet NIC and my modem is a software toshiba but that doesnt matter. But Timpawlak, does sitting on a WAN mean I can not connect to the server at all? I mean ive been able to log in on other occasions but It has just been problems the last 2 months when Ive tried. Worked out perfectly in December... If its to any help I can send MSINFO and Dxdiag docs to anyone that is willing to help me out Thanks guys and sorry again for my lack of skills, im 100 percent new in this matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermitfan Posted March 12, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 Tried out the Belarc profile, and it says everything is up to date. - All hotfixes, windowsupdate etc. What might be the problem for me? Closed port from the admin is not possible according to the tracert? I have all my firewalls and the windows firewall not-activated.. this totally sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your personal firewall to make sure it is allowing the traffic out. As far as ports being open.. the tracert used ICMP packets.. It has nothing to do with a game working or not. What you are seeing in the tracert is a router dropping the packets before they enter into the WoW network and get to the server. This practice is pretty normal on gaming servers and other servers who have been DoSed before. Does the game not connect? It could be that your local admin does not have the port open.
