Fixing Firewall & Router Problems With Warcraft
My friend Bude just started blogging and his first post was a good one. Topic: Fixing Firewall & Router Issues With Warcraft…but more specifically; If you’re having issues creating Warcraft III games, the fix is really quite easy.
If you’ve every attempted to host a Warcraft III game and your friends are unable to join no matter what the map…well, you’ve got a problem, although the fix is pretty simple:
Bude takes you step by step through setting up port forwarding on your Linksys router so that ports 6112 - 6119 point at specific machines on your network so they each can host games. That’s typically half the problem. However, you may find that people are still unable to join your hosted games.
You may be choosing a stupid map…or it could be a firewall problem. Bude explains how - on Windows XP - to open a hole in the Firewall to allow incoming connections to War3.exe. After thats solved, all should be right in the world and you can host Warcraft III games to your hearts content! DotA for the win!

Posted: May 24th, 2008 at 7:12 amReply to this comment.So to host u need to open TCP port 6112-6119 and UDP port 6112-6119. Its pretty easy with a firewall but if you have a lynksys router then you need to go type 192.168.1.1 in your address bar then go to gaming & aplications

Routers are different .. Need it IP address .. Some have expert mode . Some might not work with internet explore .. so you have to download firefox to get expert mode ..
Most routers have an easy select list .. others you have to do some work ..
Firewalls just need to open port .. Tcp And Udp ..
