Problem with custom LAN games

[Hero]

OK hello everyone, it has been a while since I have been on this site =P

Anyways. I am home with my brother today and we are trying to play a custom game over LAN (my laptop and his desktop). However we are both running into a problem. We can play maps that come with Warcraft 3 over LAN, but when we try to host a custom map the game lags for about 2 seconds and the host is kicked back to the normal LAN screen. This happens on both computers. I have tried moving the map to different folders inside the Map folder to see if that is the problem but it did not resolve it.

Any help is appreciated.

if you copy the map so that both computers have it, does it work then?

No actually I tried doing that and putting it in the same folder. It has something to do with the computer. On either one no custom maps are playable over LAN. When you select them and go to create game. It lags for a second and then it just goes back to the normal LAN menu. I tried reinstalling too.

wierd, can you play the map in single player?

Yea I am able to play the map in single player. It is basically any custom map over LAN that doesnt even allow a game to be created.

Make sure you guys both have the same warcraft 3 client version ( it's at the bottom right of the main menu screen ), and make sure you have all ports forwarded if you're behind a router, and that all ports are allowed in any firewalls you may have.

Ok. I just noticed that they won't even work in single player now

This happens to me with some older maps, i think its because the map you are trying to host is not up to date with the Warcraft version.

This means they won't play on the new Warcraft version due to the changes.
