Hey guys I need you expert networking people to help me out. My problem is that I can't host any games on Wacraft3. I tried doing the port forwarding thing but it doesn't seem to work. My router is a WGR614 v4. Please I really need your expert help! Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know what to do? or have somewhat of a clue to help me? thanks!

Their are step by step guides on the Internet, I used to be able to host but not any more because my brother resets the router constantly and I don't have the time to configure it constantly. I'll look for a guide then post it here.

hmm...are you sure you are opening up the port on the right protocol? There is a TCP/UDP protocol. You also may have to open up more that one or more than one series of ports. Look at the game readme....the ports you need should be in there.
Go into the in game menu and go to the connection options. There should be an option there to choose what ports you want the game to use. The number in the game option screen and number in the router management console must correspond to each other.
Are you using a second firewall? If so, you need to forward the port there as well, and make sure you the game exe file has access. This varies from program to program, so I cannot tell you how to do it.
A popular program when forwarding ports is Windows Firewall. It is rubbish anyway, so go into the security centre from the control panel and then disable Windows firewall.
Help with hosting on Wacraft3!
