Are you behind a router or running any firewalls ?

Do you have Windows XP? If your do then the built-in firewall could be enabled... When i had mine enabled i couldnt create games in wc3 either...

I think his problem is he hasn't altered the number of players in the map, or maybe people just aren't joining (no offense, this happens to me). Also, try waiting for 15 or so minutes just incase you aren't getting enough time

Broadband...

Some broadband connections, like mine, have a built in firewall in the actual dsl / cable / broadband modem. I had that problem for a while, but in the software settings, I was able to set up something called a "DMZ Host" which allowed one computer on the network to access in / out data from the internet. You can try that. (try typing in the web browser 192.168.1.1) Usually that will bring up any hardware firewall settings.

the player problem

hello,if you want to let players join you maybe dint add players to do you must go to scenario and then to player properties there you must change controllers into users to let them be players
