A lot of people have this same problem. You play SC and you can't host games because no one can join them because your latency is too high and you can only play games with 2 people max or else you'll get dropped. I know theres a site but I forgot what it was... Could some PLEASE help?

Rejoin SC and host.
Or lower your firewall. Your latceny is only high because you're not giving out info on your game fast enough (Or at all) and the reason why you might lag in games is because you don't intake information fast enough. So it chops everything down to scan for viruses etc.

See Im not much of a computer wiz when it comes to ports so I have no idea what 'port-forwarding' is... Well... I told my firewall to have SC as an exception... but my protection expired... lol... and I really haven't tried it. I have a Linksys Wireless G 2.4 Ghz USB adaptor and a router hooked to my other computer that has a modem.

1. Buy a mace.
2. Use the mace on your router.
3. Reconnect internet without router.
4. Host whatever you want.
Seriously though, routers can cause that hosting problem. You can host a game for specific individuals by joining another game that they are in; once you've been in the same game with them, they will be able to join your game if you host it directly afterwards. You can use this method to transfer a map to a friend for hosting.

Should tell you how to forward the ports required, although my router is like Wing's where I can only make games for people who are in the same room as me.

Back when I had dsl, I actually had the same problem, and I looked on the blizzard website.
I opened the ports they asked for, (Specifically ports 6112 and 6119, for TCP and UDP packets) but it still did that. I tried not using a router, but it still did that.
Went to blizz tech support and they emailed me some file that checks the status as I connect to bnet so I "know what's wrong"...
And everything came up fine, because the connection itself is perfect, just when i play games with more than 2 people it's unbearably laggy, or when I go to play a pub game, say I'm not the first person join, and there are already two people in the game, and I'm the third. Then my computer wouldn't dl the map...
I recommend you try looking around on the blizzard site, they may have some advice for you that would work (unlike what they did for me, though i respect DavidM.@useast for trying to help me)
