Unable to connect to any ENT game

[g1real]

Turned firewall off to be sure, even tried ENT Connect and Ghost Client

I can't connect to any of the ENT bot games, I try to join one, and it takes 20 seconds to time out only to tell me the game could not be found

Whats you battle.net name?

Ill see if you banned or anything

[g1real]

same as forum name

I don't see you playing any games on [ENT] bots by your name or IP, are you sure you aren't looking for [BGN] or another bot?

[g1real]

What? I'm timing out on joining games, how can I be playing one if I can't join them?

[teller55]

Ah, you've never played before, I thought you meant you played before and now you can't join.

[g1real]

I suppose no one has any idea what's up then

Edit: I actually managed to join the naruto lobby fine once, but none else after that.

Edit: Tried battlemages, ENT73, could join fine twice, still can't join any other

Edit: Any help please

[g1real]

Any updates yet? I still haven't been able to join most games with the exception of the ones mentioned in my edit back then (Haven't tried again, but I try joining ent games regularly and nothing works)

do you have all of the uptodate maps of the games you are trying to join? no one else is having the same issues that i know of.

Delete your folder wc3\maps\downloads and try again.

Doesn't seem to solve it, what made you think that would be the issue anyway? You would get a map verification mismatch error or something instead.

To clarify again: 20 second timeout on join attempt, then this

do you have all of the uptodate maps of the games you are trying to join? no one else is having the same issues that i know of.

I tried it just now with Fortress Survival Alpha 5.30bP.w3x, gotten from epic war. It seems to be a bit fishy though that one would need to download maps beforehand.

You know, you can have corrupted files. Pretty normal in wc3 maps. :3

Edit: Make a try, include the port 6112 until 4 in your firewall.

What kind of pings are you getting? and where are you playing from?> your Internet might be to slow??

True, but I don't think it would manifest itself like the way it does anyway, it was worth a try anyway.

I had already tried to disable my firewall, see original post.
Anyway, I've just opened ports 6112-6118 UDP + TCP inbound and outbound specifically and restarted WC3 just to be sure, but the problem remains. It wouldn't have mattered anyway - the exception was already made for the process, and any requests I send outside are automatically allowed back in normally.

I always find it funny when people think it's an issue. MakeMeHost.com always gives me pings inbetween 20ms and 4 ms, I love games hosted by that bot.

It really seems to be an exception case with ENT bots where my connection is actively rejected, I have no problems hosting or joining any other games. Could I perhaps get some IPs in PM to traceroute to or something?
