Port 4000 TCP - Fail Medic - 07-11-2009
This isn't really a request for help so much as a signal to see if anyone else says, "Yeah, me too."
I can't expose port 4000 TCP to the outside. I want to, but I can't. I want to play Diablo II with a friend and port 4000 TCP is a critical key to this enterprise.
Windows firewall off. Went through the whole port forward business on the router before removing it from the stream so computer's now hooked directly to cable modem. I then use a PFPortChecker program downloaded from portforward.com.
4000 UDP... works. Open. Yay.
4000 TCP... Nothing. No how. No dice.
My friend and I asked our mutual ISP whether they're blocking port 4000. They provided both of us a list of ports they've blackballed and 4000 ain't on it.
Culprits have been narrowed to a lying or misinformed ISP tech line or some subconscious limiter in my cable modem. I guess something in my PC could still be blocking it, but firewall is totally shut off and no other software firewall exists on my PC.
Port 4000, you piece of unmitigated shit, what is your goddamn problem.
... Please respond if you've had to fight with a similar situation. Thanks.

did you get a time out for that program
or did it immediately go to closed?

It sits on "connected to portforward.com, waiting for portcheck to complete" for five seconds. This leads me to believe outbound's working but not inbound if it's going out through 4000 and then trying to come back for the test. ... i dunno lol

But, regardless of whether I can fix it, I wanna know who or what to blame :'( .Â
You're saying Computer A was blocked but Computer B (new one) wasn't blocked. Well, I tried troubleshooting this with a laptop (different machine) on the same router / cable modem pair and 4000 TCP was still blocked.
No, I haven't tried getting different router / cable modem hardware, but I'd like to try to avoid that if the solution was obvious and easy to implement.
As it stands, I'm SOL. My only hope is that Diablo III won't use the same port and go towards the 6000's where StarCraft is, but I'm sure Blizzard will leave it on 4000 TCP just to piss me off.

You could always setup a tunnel to avoid the problem entirely.
