Ive been reading lots of hosting problems for WIII or TFT and notice that NegotiatorSmith usually knows what to do.. But i would be thankfull to anyone else as well if u can help me with this one.
I have WIII roc and everything works well, i can host without any problems.
Yesterday I've bought Frozen throne expansion and installed it. The port setting are identical with ROC.
I CANT HOST with it however .
U can choose witch game to run, Roc or TFT and i can still host with one, but not with the other.
Who knows what c

I helped someone with this problem in the Open Tech Support channel the other day - it turns out that the person had Norton Internet Security installed, and there was no rule present that said that the Frozen Throne executable (Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne have different executables) is allowed to listen for incoming connections on port 6112 TCP.
If you have a software firewall like ZoneAlarm or Norton Internet Security installed, disable it temporarily and see if you can host. If you can, you need to go into the firewall's settings and add the aforementioned rule for Frozen Throne.exe.
I am pretty sure that what I described is your problem, and I can't think of anything else that would cause it.

Glad to hear it... be sure to add a rule for Frozen Throne.exe so you don't have to completely disable your firewall each time you play.
