Hosting Warcraft3 Custom Games

Hello, i can't seem to be able to host any custom games on WC3 or Call of Duty 4 either. i bought a port forwarding program in hopes that it would help, but after using it, i still can't host. i'm not exactly computer literate when it comes to ports and gateways and routers and such, but i catch on when something is explained to me and i would really appreciate any help that you can give. the modem/router/whatever-its-called is an actiontec m1424-wr and i'm running it on like a 2 to 3 year old comp with windows xp. i'm not sure if any other information is needed, but i'll gladly look it up the best i can for any help. thanks for your time.

cordially,
matt

First off hardware:

Then software. Make sure your windows firewall is off and that any software(zonealarm etc) you have is allowing the port traffic.

You can test it on this website: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 You want to FAIL the custom port scan (probably for port 6112 for war 3) because that means the port is open.
