I'm in my college dorms and we students are unable to forward ports even when I have my own router and such. So if I forward 6112 TCP/UDP for warcraft 3 in my router, my school's internet still has that port blocked. I have tried it by hosting a warcraft 3 game and no one could join and used the utorrent port forwarding checker and it still has it blocked.
Luckily I searched the net and found a website where it scans for open ports. (auditmypc.com). It showed that I had certain ports open, i forwarded it with my router and all works pretty good. However, the problem arises when I create a warcraft 3 game, the port seems blocked. When i check on the website such as utorrent's port checker then it still has it open.
Now its pretty obvious that that port is in use by some sort of application. I was wondering if I can like block that application or something because of the open port. What are some other walk-around of having an open port? im stuck joining games and being unable to host games in my school. Please give me your opinion and advice on this one rather than saying "ask your IT" because I asked them and they don't know what I'm talking about.
