try turning the firewall off completely and see if it works. Then you know for sure the windows firewall is configured correctly

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.


Do not skip this step!
Please enter the static ip you want to forward to:
192.168.1.

Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape.

Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.1.

You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is blank, and the password is admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

In the upper right of this menu you will see an orange Advanced button. Clicking this button will cause the menu options at the top of your screen to change. Go ahead and click it now.

You should now be on the Filters tab at the top of your screen. If you look close to the bottom of this page, you will see a Block Wan Request radio button. This button needs to be set to disabled. Click the Apply button to save the changes you made on this page.

Now click the Forwarding button at the top of the page.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Warcraft III requires you to forward the 6112-6119 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the port range forwarding menu.

Click Apply at the bottom of your screen to save your changes.

Thats it You're done!
