Help getting warcraft 3 to work on LAN

[wongg62]

Having just moved into a new apartment w/ roomates, we decided to have a quick game but nothing seems to work. Whenever we try to play a lan game, we can never see the game created by the other person. We both have WinXP and the most up to date version of Frozen Throne (sharing 1 cd). The way the computers are connected is through the D-Link DI-604 router. When I go to local area network, we can see each other's computer and share files, but cannot play lan games. I'm assuming its the firewall? I tried turning on DMZ and forwarding port 6112 but no go.. anyones have any suggestions? I configured the router using http://support.dlink.com/faq/ while searching for warcraft 3. Any help is appreciated. Each computer needs a different port right? So if I use 6112 my roomate uses 6113?

I just asked cuz thats a common symptom. Well, do you have any firewall software on these comps?

If all three are on the same d-link router, you should not need to turn on dmz forwarding. I assume that this router assigns your ip addresses, are you putting the correct ip address for each machine into the warcraft lan setup page?

do you mean sharing the same cd key? if so, then that's the problem. New Blizzard games don't let the same cdkey be used on lan games
