ok, first i need to know a few things about your computer: 1. Do you have dial up? 2. Do you use a Router (normally used if you also connect to an Xbox/Playstation/Wii or to connect more than one computer) 3. Do you have multiple firewalls? If so, what kind? (Windows, Avast, McAfee) 4. What have you tried to do to make it work so far?

Do you have internet on your Xbox, and do you have a modem, which would give your computer internet.

Ok well the main thing i need to know is if you are using a router, so explain to me how you get ur internet. Im assuming: Cord comes in from wall, goes into modem, cord from modem goes to computer. If you had a router: Cord comes in from wall, goes into modem, cord from modem goes to routers, cord from router goes to computer

Choose which one is correct:
1. Cord comes in from wall, goes into modem, cord from modem goes to computer.
2. Cord comes in from wall, goes into modem, cord from modem goes to routers, cord from router goes to computer

"first one the cable comes from ground and right into modem"
After the modem does it go straight to your computer? or go to another box?

Ok, then there is simple advice I can give you, test it by doing all of the following, then if it works take one step away and test it again, untill you get down to only 1 or 2 steps so you dont completely shut down the defence system of your computer.... : 1. Shut off the Windows Firewall (this is the ONLY problem for A LOT of people) 2. Open your firewall (i think you said it was Mcafee) and disable that, or open port 6112 if you know how to do that (they do the same thing) 3. Unblock Warcraft III in windows/Mcafee.
Here are more steps if you have a router and don't really realize it... these won't work if you don't have a router..... :
ok.... follow every step exactly... first : click start..... then click run .... then type cmd in box ..... then type ipconfig in that box and press enter...... now there is a line that says default gateway....open up your browser ( internet explorer or something ) and type that default gateway into the address box in your browser ......( minimize that command prompt box )......... it should pop up with a box that says it needs your user name and password ...... type it in ( if you dont know it ask a parent or something what it might be default is admin, admin ) ...... now it should show up with like a linksys page..... at the top there is security..... click on it ..... then it should show firewall with a box that says enable and one with disable...... click the disable one (not everyone needs this disabled, but some do)...... now one more thing....... click on applications and gaming........ok in the application line put whatever you want like warcraft 3 or whatever .........then in the start line put 6112 ..........and in the end line put 6112 ........make protocol both .........ok now unminimize that command prompt box......there is a line that says ip address......put the numbers after the last box( like if it was 145.423.1.79 you would put 79 into it ) into the ip address spot on the linksys page.......now check enable.........At the bottom of that page there should be a box that says save settings ........ CLICK IT..... now you can exit out of it all.....o yeah one more thing.....go into warcraft 3 and click options.....then click gameplay........and there should be a game port section.......make sure it says 6112 in it ( it is default that it would but just in case )......ok now you should be able to host ! if you have any comments or questions just e-mail me.
Im going to bed now, I will respond to any further messages tomorrow, I hope this helps!
