Warcraft III arranged team

[Ben019]

Can someone please help me with this problem i'm having with arranged teams in warcraft III? For some reason, i can't join or set up arranged teams with people on other computers, but i can with my other computer that i have in my house. I'm assuming it has something to do with the connection, but i'm not sure what. I have a router that has a firewall, which might be causing the problem. Anyway, if anyone has some advice on a way to fix the problem or another way to set it up so i can do arranged teams, that would be great. Thanx!

Make sure you have the latest updates installed from your Router manufacturer.
Configure the Game Port Warcraft III will use on each computer:
Start Warcraft III on each computer
Click Options
Click Gameplay
Approximately half way down the screen you will see Game Port, each of your computers will need to use a different port
Example: Computer #1 can use port 6112, computer #2 can use port 6113, computer #3 can use port 6114, and so on.
Configure your Router to forward the incoming data for port x to the computer where you setup Warcraft III to use that port
For more information on configuring your router, please contact your router manufacturer.
Try playing the game.

Note: If you have a Linksys router, we have specific steps for you here.

Do you have a router ? Do you have any firewall running such as Zone Alarm ?
