Yeah, I understand what tracert does now. I was instructed to try it by a member of the open tech support forum on battle.net.

I have tried with no router and PPP on the modem, and I have also tried the modem bridged with PPP on the router and the port forwarded to my IP on the router. Neither have worked.
This sounds like a firewall issue to me.
Could be wrong, but if you plug directly into the modem there is no reason why it shouldn't work.
My suggestion is goto another machine (or laptop) and test it out. This way we can rule out some assumptions. If it works on the other computer/laptop then there is someone bad funny on your computer. If it doesn't work on another computer/laptop, then my guess is that there is something bad funny with the modem. But be sure your game will work on that computer/laptop on another connection before (B4) you test it on yours. Because if it doesn't work on your friend's connection, and you are using that to test on yours...you can't draw any good conclusions. Now, if it still doesn't work, I will point my finger at the modem....but I still doubt that would be the case...unless it got zapped in a storm...and I am even doubting that because if you can do basic webbrowsing then it should be fine.

I am pointing my finger at a firewall on his machine. Or could be some spyware/adware. It's too early to assume bad funny like spyware/adware but for now I am eyeing the firewall.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20498897 Sat, 17 May 2008 17:53:22 EDT Re: Speedstream 4100 any other firmware! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20458359 anon : Yeah, I understand what tracert does now.

They have to actually respond to your ping packet or you won't know they are there. They don't, so you don't. It doesn't matter who you are, where you are coming from or what service you use. Their equipment ignores ping packets. You're not getting "stuck" anywhere.

Since thousands of people with AT&T DSL play these games you can pretty much assume whatever issues you are having are on your end.

Putting the modem into bridged mode and having your router handle PPPoE might help the problem.

Here's one thread talking about that problem.

My first thoughts were that it wasn't the modem. Other applications work when used on port 6112 (the port that starcraft uses).

The 4100 by default sends all inbound traffic to the local port. Unless you did something it should be working just fine out of the box under its default settings.

Your link refers to the 4200, which is a router supporting multiple LAN clients and indeed needs the port forwarding configuration so you can tell it what unsolicited inbound traffic goes to which computer. The 4100 sends everything to 192.168.1.64, which is the only address it gives out on the LAN side, and has no real need for port forwarding as you know it. Did you set a static address at your computer?
