37261 port is closed  or something :S


it changes that port number occasionally tho.


.ru is good otherwise but this hosting issue is very much makin ppl more inactive.

true. I don't think you can host from mobile. :< Don't know about hostbot, Lance has been MIA for a while. you can /w mousetopher on server though and if I'm at my pc I can host matches for you

if it was possible for me to host games without changing my router information i would play at least 50% more

anytime i do play a game i am only able to play chopfarms or GOW, but when i'm in GOW i have to watch unless it's a 4v4 in which case I can play

if I could host games it would be great to play against new players like myself  :-\

never really understood this hosting issue with blizzard games

Whenever iam online you can message me to host a game! Even if u want to play a newb, ill just leave after ive hosted. If u care about youre ladder points ill watch it and give u some advice after game. ( staying only if i got time and dont want to play by myself)
@ Ripe , if u want to play some1 and you both cant host , you can use lattrick works fine for 1v1 games.

There is an app for portforwarding for phones.. or get a VPN with ports open.

I joined a hostbot game okay?  No one ever seems to take advantage of it but it worked for me at least to join

The way I managed to fix my hosting problem was by buying support from this site.

https://portforward.com/

The support costs a one time fee of $40 but will be able to host after that.

Hostbot does work but is very inconsistent, main problem is it has a bug that causes it to get stuck in a game & you have to wait hours before you can reset it (designed to prevent abuse, but also inconvenient.)

They have software that solves your latency problem and support staff that walk u through the whole process.
If your like me and suck with comps it helps.
