Unless somebody is hosting with a bot, I can't hear players without hosting capabilities. In most cases, this means nobody is talking and it's pretty boring.
The odd part is that it wasn't always like this. A few months after playing wc3, it happened suddenly. Private messages still come through if that's any consolation.
I've never been able to host even after setting a static ip as well as forwarding ports. I've also tried on several computers on the same network which might suggest it's a router problem.
I should also note that my router is doing strange things. For example, I can barely access the webpage of the router through firefox and ie. I can in safari though...
Edit: I've tried hosting without the router (hardwired) and still no luck.
