Every time I open the World of Warcraft launcher, it says, "Failed to download information about the next patch. Check your network connection." I'm 100% connected to the internet, but it keeps saying that. Any suggestions?

Robo captain, do you not realize that by destroying the human race because of their destructive tendencies, we too have become like, well...it's ironic. (mm) Cause we... If you connect through a university, corporate, or public network, it is possible for your connection issues to be the result of some additional configurations provided by the network administrators of your network.

Your network administrators will want to allow, and possibly prioritize traffic over ports 1119, 1120, 3724, 6112, 6113, 6114, and 4000 for both TCP and UDP, as these ports on both protocols is used and reserved through http://www.iana.org/ with a direct link to the port listings at http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers .

If your network administrators have further questions or require additional information, please feel free to refer them to this post where they can contact me, they may also e-mail [email protected], or they can call us at (949) 955-1832, 7am-8pm Pacific Time, 7 days a week.
