Your own connection IP.

>> Check IP <<

Starting with 175.xx.xx.xx lags alot connecting to D3 Server's IP.

210.xx.xx.xx is the fastest compare to 110.xx.xx.xx

AFAIK, port forwarding doesn't apply to online game clients that doesnt have a specific port. This is because game clients uses random ports in your computer to connect to server's port.

Port Forwarding is used when Game Clients are configured to use a certain port in EVERY computer. As for Diablo its different port everytime you connect to its server port.

Eg. BT uses a random port for its Green Light ( Open Ports ), however if that port is not open by your router, it will be come Yellow Light.

For clients software like BT enable you to CHOOSE 1 SPECIFIC open ports from your computer ( In Options of BT ) to connect to its peers, and your router will have to open that particular port, and it will be a green light, which means on what port forwarding is to enable the speeds of bandwidth and download.

For DIABLO III, their game server post is 1119. Opening your router or comp port of 1119, WILL not affect your bandwidth or speed what so ever, because the port you open is from your COMPUTER'S port. The communication between Diablo's server and your comp ( client ) will not differ.

TBH, i'm not home now, can anyone of you guys who can play diablo now, do the following and tell the result.

1) Connect to Diablo, and go in the Game. Don't stay in Lobby.
2) Alt Tab, go to Start>Run>CMD ( for XP )
3) type netstat -n
4) And find for the output IP that starts with 12.xx and port is 1119. << Diablo's Port ( Not your computer port )
5) On the left will be your LAN ip of 192.168.xx.xx, and there will be : at the end of your LAN ip, there will be your computer's open port. Take note of that.

6) Go back in Diablo and leave the game, and Resume Quest.
7) Do Step 2 till 5, and compare the port opened in your computer ( 1119 will not change as thats server's connecting port ).

If 2 Quest Game Port ( your computer ) is the same, then port forward that port ( not 1119 ), then it will be smooth.
IF both of the internal open ports are different, port forward will not make any differences.

Thats why i say Game Clients like this will have random ports to open in our comp.

End of the day still falls down to your ISP.

Unifi + 1. No lag :-)
