Warcraft III and LAN GAME PROBLEM.

[isekii]

My and my brother are connected together on the network.
But we're unable to play WCIII LAN Game.

It won't join the same game for some reason.
It happens on battlenet too.

Is there something I can do to fix this problem ?

Information about network required... is one of you wireless and one is not?

Firewalls turned on/off?

 

[isekii]

It's a USR8054 with the latest firmware.
Bother are connected via Ethernet.

Firewalls... as in the Windows Firewall ?
That's enabled.


We can play CS:S fine, but Warcraft III won't work.

Turn off your windows firewall (and any other firewall) and see if that fixes it. If so, you need to edit the config of the windows firewall to let the WC3 traffic through.

Turned that baby off and it works like a charm 🙂

Excellent 🙂
Now if you have a router you can probably be safe in leaving it off. But if you DONT have a router, you should go research what ports WC3 uses (I'm pretty sure blizzard has this info on thier support pages) and configure the windows firewall to let them through, then you can turn it back on and still play.
