Technical I need the number of ports of your servers

[BlueSoulDasen]

I need the number of ports of your servers since I have an external firewall for my home network, so I can't play inside your servers

You do not need to open your ports to play WoW.

He said he has an external firewall.... he may actually need them. They are (according to tot he FaQ) the bog-standard ones.

TCP: 1119, 3724, 6012
UDP: 1119, 3724, 6012

Excuse me, but where exactly did you find that information? In all of the FaQ articles, where this topic was brought up, I couldn't find any information for some specific numbers.

1. Is our server down?
Check the main page population and latest news. Information page is useful to check its uptime too (note that it might take up to 5 min to refresh its latest status). If there is people during the next 10 min after your first check, you can assume that it is working alright.

2. Review your computer configuration
WoW requires a firewall exception, generally generated on its own. Make sure it has been created, or create one on your own. If you own a professional antivirus, it might have its own firewall implementation, you will have to create the exception there instead (check your Antivirus manual).

3. Review your router configuration
In some cases, especially public places like universities, non common ports are blocked. You are required to open WoW ports manually then (yes, we are using the same ports as Retail). If you do not own the network firewall / router, you will have to contact the network administrator.

4. Call your ISP.
For some reason, certain ISPs (Internet Service Provider) tend to have routing issues with us. They are normally temporal, though once one ISP took 2-3 months to fix it. If that is your case, your alternative is to play with a VPN.

In those pages there is a link to Blizzard's official site, where it still didn't feature any concrete numbers but just general instructions.

Thanks for the clarification, Urshalana.

Thanks for the clarification, Urshalana.

No problem. Almost raged but then realized that the info isn't always the easiest to find and having a reputable source is good to pull a blue post out. Blizz post + FAQs = correct answer.

All of the guesswork is fun and stuff, but wow isn't tied to a single port. No need to open up a whole range listed by blizzard but warmane seems to be at 8091, 8092, 8095 and 8096.
