Warcraft 3 Help: Can't host game

[nablio]

I can easily join games on Battle.net but cannot host them unless I connect directly to my cable modem and circumvent my router. Prior to trying that I did open port 6112 TCP on my router as was posted on Blizzard tech support. Still does not let me host. Anyone have any ideas?

You'll find more help on WC3 tech support forums than you would here I think.

Software firewalls (as in Windows firewall)? And make sure the game is set to use port 6112.

what is your router?

you have to fowarrd the port to your computer's LAN IP address. thats what i did before and it worked (same problem)
