Right, so I've tried everything I can think of doing while only half-knowing what I'm doing in the first place.
Basically the story it I've gotten tired of not being able to find any games on the Warcraft 3 servers other than the endless parade of DotA, so I would really, really like to host my own games, which would also make it easier for me and my friends online there to join up in the same game, because its pretty hit and miss.
I go into technical support at Blizzard and of course the exact question is there, and it tells me to allow port 6112 under port forwarding in my router. I know how to get into my router, how to get to these settings, but from there I'm stumped. There are a lot of options in there and I'm not sure where to start. We recently switched to Verizon for all of our services including internet, and its one of their routers, so its a bit different from what I'm used to. And I've tried everything I can think of, which is obviously not a whole lot since I have absolutely no knowledge on this subject beyond trial and error and what I've learned from another friend a while ago. Anyone know anything about how to resolve this or who maybe knows enough to talk me through some of this? I've been messing around in there for like an hour and a half (and I know enough to not fuck up any settings that are already there and if something doesn't work I immediately revert back to the way it was previously) and it has really made my day a miserable hellhole.
