Thanks for the reply.. I did all of that and if it resides on the same PC as the server, it works fine , even if i use the External IP. But when i put it on another computer to connect, it just hangs on connecting. I have all the ports open and i even got a working Cata server going externally using the same technique.. I even had a friend try thats quite the distance away and got the same hang up on it. So im not sure what could be hanging it up.. The WTF has been changed, the IP in the database has been changed as well. All ports open, even tried with the firewall turned off and all ports opened up. Funny thing is that it will connect using the external IP if its on the same PC. Any thoughts?
Only thing i could think of is that Cata doesnt use battlenet accounts, it uses the old account logins. Maybe something set on the battlenet for external logins? Thoughts on that?
Could i be missing some sort of service pack? Its on a windows 10 machine.
