battlenet

[Guest]

I have verizon dsl. I am using a wireless router to connect 4 computers to
the network. Of the 4 computers I am trying to use 2 computers to play a game
online. When both of the computers are connected to the battlenet server they
can each play their own games with out any problems. The problems begin to
occur when I computer attempts to create an online game, and the second
computer attempts to join this created game. I get the battlenet error
message of

"Unable to join selected game. Latency to creator is to high."

When I attempted to find a solution by searching on the internet I came
across a few forums saying I get this message because both computers are
using the same port to recieve information from the battlenet server. Many
people suggested that I had to change one of ports that one of the computers
uses, so that battlenet will send the required information to both computers.
Many different ports were mentioned. 6111-6117. I am not an expert on this
area of networking. So I was wondering if there was anything that you guys
might be able to suggest to help with this problem. I would really appreciate
it.

I suggest that you go wired not wireless.

I know more than you think !

You posted the error message -- "Unable to join selected game. Latency to creator is to
high." and also state "I am using a wireless router to connect 4 computers to the network."
Since latency is a often used in conjunction with networking throughput then my answer was
quite relevant. To me that is indicate of wireless networking is introducing this latency.
I suggest that you go wired not wireless. Now if you don't want to try my advice fine.
However, don't bite the hand that tries to feed you.

Let me put it another way...

Battlenet is not a Microsoft product. It is also not a part of Win2K. Nothing about your
post is Win2K specific, therefore you post is Off Topic and shouldn't even have been posted
here. It would have been better service in a Networking News Group since that is your
problem.

Did you even bother to contact the battlenet support group since it is their product ?

Your off topic. You were given the correct answer as well. The issue
you've stated is trivial and as basic as it goes. Please remove the
label of system admin since its obviously clear that you don't know
anything about networks and much less about newsgroups.

Have you even tried using wired media? Or did you need a refresher on
the subject of latency?

Hey Raghu - I don't mind your being stupid, personally, cuz you maybe
can't help it, but it would be so much nicer for everybody here if you'd
go be stupid in some other part of town.
