There are alot of ports that you have to open for a WOW server. If you are using windows firewall, this can be a real pain. From what I have encountered windows firewall does not allow adding port ranges, so you have to open each port manually. Below I have a windows batch file to open all the ports needed and labels each one.



Create a file named OPENPORTS.BAT
Copy and paste the code into the file.
Run the batch file!




@echo off
Echo Attemping to open needed ports....Please wait....
FOR /L %%R IN (6881,1,6999) DO netsh firewall add portopening TCP %%R "WOW Patches "%%R
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 3724 "WOWRealm List 3724"
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 80 "WOW Apache Web 80"
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 3306 "Wow Mysql 3306"
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 8129 "Wow Realm One 8129"
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 8130 "Wow Realm Two 8130"
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 8093 "Wow Server port 8093"
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 6112 "WOW Patches 6112"
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 3036 "Wow Arcemu 3036"
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 8050 "Wow World Server 8050"

Echo As long as you had no errors listed above, then all
Echo the ports have been opened in the windows firewall.

Omg i need to try this xD

Edit: there was an error this is what it was


IMPORTANT: "netsh firewall" is deprecated;
use "netsh advfirewall firewall" instead.
For more information on using "netsh advfirewall firewall" commands
instead of "netsh firewall", see KB article 947709
at How to use the "netsh advfirewall firewall" context instead of the "netsh firewall" context to control Windows Firewall behavior in Windows Server 2008 and in Windows Vista (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=121488) .
