This has nothing to do with StarCraft, but has everything to do with WarCraft. I need a good step by step example of how to set up ports in a Linksys router, where it shows the screen of the port setup thingy. I can't host on Wc3 at all, no one can join, and im extremely pist off from waiting for other people to host certain games on it. All you ever see on Wc3 is Dota games and I want to host some other good games. I have a Linksys router, if anyone knows how to configure it to make me able to host games on Wc3, i would be very thankful. Please help me!

I've tried that (High chance I did it wrong...
) but it still didn't work. Freaking routers...
Turn off any firewalls you have running.
Turn off firewalls, scanners. If not, turn every AIM, MSN and YIM and don't appear offline, go offline. If not, then go close everything except WarCraft III, if not scream to death. If not, go eat ice cream. If not, drop your computer with the WarCraft inside the drive from a bridge. If not, play World of WarCraft. Problem solved.

If I had any firewalls to turn off....
The www.portforward thing should work. Make sure you have a static IP address and open post 6112. Other then that, turn off firewalls, etc.
I've had the same problem, but with an Actiontec router. I have a static IP, and I've disabled all my firewalls. Ports 6112-6118 are forwarded. I still have a ping of ~130ms, and can't host games.
I've got an even better idea: Play Starcraft!
