    I have a linksystem 802.11 g router. I am unable to host games like warcraft. Is there a solution to this?

    You have to open a lot of ports for that to happen. Check to see what ports and protocol needs open. The setup up a FW rule to allow these incoming ports.

    All you need to do is open the port 6112 (both setting things) and put the ip address to whatever computer is running WC3. Also, make sure that Windows Firewall or any firewall is allowing WC3.
