I recently got Warcraft 3/Frozen throne and i started it up. I wanted to host a custom game....But that's the thing, When i try to, no one joins my game. So then i asked Blizzard for help and they said it might have something to do with my firewall. Could someone help me with this ? Like is there a program that allows it to work? Thanks.(BTW is there a website? )

Go to blizzard website

I belive they have a walkthrough on how to enable the ports on windows firewall

Hi there.


My friend had this the other week, exact same problem, they wanted to host a Warcraft 3 game.

What they had to do was port forward, as the poster above said .

If you have a Linksys router, there's a guide here

How To: Host Warcraft III Battlenet Games with Linksys Routers - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

If you haven't got a Linksys router ,what router have you got?, and I'll find a guide for you .


Bugsey.

I don't have a router or anything like that....I just have a modem and that's it? It's a speedtouch modem.

Hi there.

First thing you can try is turning your firewall tempererally off, and see if hosting a game works then.

If not, what is the make/model of your modem?.

Bugsey.

Nope Just turned off the firewall...But it still can't Host the game. I got a speedtouch Modem Model 516 v6 from Thompson. Thanks (btw sorry for replying so late I was on holiday in California)

Check the manual that came with your modem - is it NAT-enabled?
