    Hello,
    I am desperately trying to host Warcraft III. I just cannot get it to work. I have made many attempts using different strategies and It will not work. Attached is a picture of my router web page and what the settings are at. Please tell me whats wrong with them. Thanks.

    I'm not 100% sure of what your problem is, but i really dont think the server address should be 127.0.0.1!

    127.0.0.1 is a loopback address, its also referd to as localhost... its means this machine (for example, if you ping 127.0.0.1 you are pinging your own machine, the ping does not leave your computer!)

    You need to put the IP address of the warcraft server there!

    start > run > type "cmd" -> type "ipconfig" thats the IP address you should use.

    you should use the IP of the computer that the warcraft server is running on, you can find it by doing what sniper said to do (on the machine that that is hosting the warcraft 3 server)

    If that does not work, then you have used the wrong IP address, the wrong port or the server is not running.

    I've decided to scrap the router due to its unreliability. Can anyone name a easily programmable (Easily able to host warcraft) router with EXCELLENT wireless range. Thank you.
