I think we will need a pause if Sian dont play in the next hour or so.

Seriously though, I am going to bed and I need a pause.

I'll go pause

Paused with 4hrs on the clock and 4 people haven't played yet.

My internet got messed up while trying to configure port forwarding for Starcraft and now I can't access PB either. Anyone here savvy?

Reset the router by the small hidden button?

[Catwalk]

Just tried that again, no result. Here's the situation:
1) Few months back we installed a separate router which is plugged into the modem (the modem can double as router but isn't doing a good job of it)
2) A week ago we received a new modem because the old one was getting crappy
3) After the new modem was installed, I could no longer host Starcraft games
4) A friend showed me how to open port 6112 for Starcraft, worked for a day and then went back to errors
5) Today I can't get on PB either, and removing the port forwarding doesn't help

I'm sure I'm doing at least one thing wrong here and some of the above info may be inaccurate, but I'm at a loss. If anyone wants to take a stab at it, please feel free.

Did you tried this one?

If yes, do the same thing at your router which is behind the modem too.

After this try port forwarding for pitboss.

BTW, we need a pause again.

Paused

Problem solved, somehow WiFi was enabled on both the router and the modem/router combo device (crappy router in it, hence the separate router).
