Ok some weeks ago I got a new computer made by Cisnet. It's a Windows XP Home Edition and it will be the pc that I'll take to college, so I'm gonna have all my stuff on it, like starcraft.
The problem is... I can't host games on Battle.net. I can join games perfectly. I opened all of my ports and everything and did everything on the blizzard support site. I unhooked my internet cord from the router and hooked it directly to the cable box, still same problem. I even turned off my system's firewall and still same thing. I even changed the network card on this computer to the same one that my older computer uses but still the problem remained. I made a post about this on the open support forum on battle.net but nobody knew how to resolve my issue.
What could possibly be the farking problem? Is it because of the brand of my computer or something? What else could I do besides sending an e-mail to cisnet?

You have the same problem as my friend, joins games, no lag, no problem. Comes to hosting, it's deadly latency. No clue dude, sorry.

I've experienced a similar symptom. We might have completely different sources of problem, but for me the following solution works every single time: close SC, open up the firewall program, close the firewall program (yes, without doing anything 
), start up SC again, and immediately host a game when I get on B.net.
Have you tried out the old trick joining someone else's game first then hosting your own?

This is how blizzard plans to kill starcraft
Get rid of the oldest people on b net first than make the newer ones work in the plants making WoW disks and stuff
j/k Ive heard a problem similar to this but never heard of a solution to it

It probably has to do how quickly you recieve new data. Since you're a host you have to take in all the information that 7 other players are giving out, and if you have system that takes it in slowly and makes sure there are no viruses, than you won't be able to host, or have extreme lag. Though if you have that turned off, I have no idea.

Sorry, Millennium, no idea how to resolve the issue. When I reinstalled Windows XP on my old laptop I had same problem.
I'm quite sure WCIII works differently. Instead of being hosted by you on battlenet (which I think starcraft does), the game get's hosted by you on your computer (I think). Most people have firewalls or something else that prevents your computer from acting like a server.

Wasn't there some sort of compatibility issue with Xp Service Pack 2 when it came out?
