iBurst and Warcraft 3 problem

[Skuifspeld]

Hi guys

I'm unsure where to post this, so I thought I'd start here. I have subscribed iBurst two months ago, and haven't been able to connect to any server (neither local e.g. reason nor overseas e.g. U.S. or Europe). The error states that the connection was lost / timed out, I should "check my connection".

I checked out the iBurst forums, and got a little proggie that will measure connection speed (iConnect), but this gives a socket error #10060 every time. I have followed all the steps to eradicate this problem, but nothing has worked sofar (i.e. changed IP, looked at firewalls etc.). I am sure this "socket error" is linked with my Warcraft problem. I have posted a query in the iBurst forum, but no one has answered me sofar, so I am turning here in desperation - please help!

How do I connect via iBurst to the Warcraft Battlenet servers?

I use Windows XP SP2, connect via USB cable to a UTD modem. I have updated the firmware of the modem.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

what other online enabled games do you have to test?

I tried Dungeon Siege 2 a while ago, and it worked perfectly fine.

make sure you have the lates patch, and your softwarte is legal. Blizzard killed something like 20 000 CD-Keys a few months ago

Running 1.20c and it is legal.

Strange, I've been playing WC3 on iBurst for over a year, never had to change any settings...

Finally managed to figure it out. Somewhere here I read something about having to use the UTP cable rather than the USB cable. Plugged in the UTP rather than the USB and voila, connect to the international and local server.

Still have the problem with iConnect though, but I am not too fased about that at the mo.

Thanks to everyone who helped, I hope this will help someone who also struggles with this problem.
