a new kind of hosting problem im serrious this is wierd

k ive done all the port forwarding stuff turned of my fire wall and i still can not host its not a matter of peeople not joining cause i asked a friend to join and he couldnt
my geuss is cause i got a wireless internet and my computer is not the one hosting it
so would my thery be possible

yes, if you are one of many (including myself) who are using a wireless router you willnot be able to host Warcraft3 or anyother Warcraft games. im not sure exactly why this is. (if your router is linksys then join the many of us who will never be able to host, linksys is set in a way its not compatible with warcraft)
the only thing you can do is unplug the router from your computer that has the cable/dsl going to it and then host from that computer. this is the only way i have found that works.

I have Linksys... I can host

Going through a router is essentially the same as playing through a fire wall. For online gaming you really do need your own connection.

I always had the same conection but the first time I came to battle.net I could host... but then for some reason when i got router, I got an incredible lagg and I figured out that the problem was the router when I changed some cables. I think it is some error with the IP. What do you think Veggie?

I have a linksys wireless router, I can host just fine, you just need to open the approriate ports, or set the hosting computer to DMZ.

And I am happy user of cable connection

hmm..well ill try messing with my router some more then if u say it can work..unfortunately iv spend a few weeks on it at a time and couldnt get anything done..haha
