Hello,

I was recently reading an article about Warcraft 3 port forwarding on this site and a guy named Mike said he was unable to host Warcraft 3 Custom games after he had already forwarded his port numerous times. He had the same router as me (A Linksys WRT54G Wireless) and the same problem.

Each Time I try to host a warcraft 3 game I recieve tells from people saying that they can see my game, but cannot play (connect/join the game).

I have tried DMZ/Forwarding Ports 6112/Sweeping my Hosts file and everything else that the other article talked about.

Finally the guy said he was able to resolve his problem, but never went into detail as to how (something about reseting the router and bridging the connection).

I was curious if any tech guys out there could help me fix this issue. I feel like I've tried almost everything I can think of.

The thing that struck me odd, was that people could SEE my game, but not join it. Usually I would think that games wouldn't show up at all if you weren't forwarding ports correctly.

Thanks for any and all help,

Brad

go to cmd, type ipconfig and get the ip. then go to DMZ, firewall, check enable DMZ, type the last digit of the ip address you see from the CMD.
