Problems with Port Forwarding

[Lyfer]

Here's the situation: I have two machines, one configure to port 6112, one to 6113. With these ports configured I can join games together with my Netgear MA841 router. Problem is the game lag likes a whore and I get dropped from the game once in a while. Also I cant host a game, both comps have to join a game made by someone else.


Warcraft/Starcraft use Port 6112-6119. There is no option whatsoever in the games to designate which port to use, so I had to edit the registry to point it to the correct port.

From my understanding Starcraft, and i'm guessing Warcraft II also, doesn't support multiple connections from the same IP. I've tried to get 2 computers to join the same game in Starcraft and all I get is what you're results are, huge lag and drops. I've tried doing some searches in the past and it seems its not possible to get it to run correctly. Warcraft III on the other hand works great.

War3 runs fine for me, but I'm the only person who plays it outta my friends and family. Anyone know how I can obtain a 2nd ip to game on for a few hours from SBC DSL.😀

On War2/Starcraft running on one IP address, my buddy has a D-Link router which plays fine with multiple computers using one IP address, only problem for him is that someone with another IP has to host. (I was hoping I could do the same with my Negear router)

FIXED. Just needed to do a registry tweak to have one of my rigs point to a different port number other than 6112. If anyone needs this just PM me.
