i want to check if port 6112 is accesible from the college computer...
can someone post the code for doing so here  ;D thx

Let's play a game of "What is More Likely?"

1.) You thoroughly know C++ but simply cannot figure out how to understand the C++ library documentation on opening a socket and connecting to a port on another machine.
2.) You know some other language thoroughly but still (beyond all reason) posted in the C++ forum.
3.) You don't know how to program and are just asking to leech.

In any case, why do you want *code*?  Why can't someone just compile a VERY quick .exe for you?

Or even better, if you have ANY Battle.net game or bot, why don't you just try to connect to Battle.net without using BNLS?  If it works, then port 6112 is accessible.  If it doesn't work, port 6112 is not.

Even better, why doesn't he use the simplest "bot" available on virtually every windows or non-windows installation? It's called "telnet"....

You know, you're right Adron.  I didn't even think about it.  The seething wave of rage overtook me and blinded my clairvoyance.

[code]
Start->Run...->telnet<enter>
open<enter>
uswest.battle.net 6112<enter>
[/code]

thats what i needed. thx

Also a nice way to find out your external IP. Telnet to a Battle.net server on port 6112 and send a lowercase c.
