I know that some people get great luck by just typing in something like "How to host on Warcraft III" into google... If more people post things related to hosting I might dig more into it and get a really good sight for you all.

I have 2 windows firewalls and i cant figure out how to shut them both off. No i don't have a router. And I've tried doing what it says on www.battle.net tech support by making a ports for the warcraft3 ports but it doesn't work... note: This is at my grandmas house, i can host at MY house, but really want to know >.<

Yah battle.net has no idea what they're talking about, lol just kidding I don't really have any idea how you have "2" windows firewalls... liks some people have 1 and a different kind of firewall, lika Avast or Mcaffee. But I don't think I have seen two windows ones, can you go more in depth about them?

Well actually, I dont know what one of them is but I do know that the one that I can turn off is a windows firewall. The biggest problem is that I cant even find the other one >.<. Im pretty sure that that is the only problem.

Well, I know my friend has to turn his windows firewall off, test it, if it doesn't work, then he has to turn it on again, wait like 10 seconds, and turn it off again, and it works. Don't ask me why lol.
Try that. Hope it works for you too!

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! That one. It is made using a LinkSys Router. The router is the reason you can't host. Your only problem is you will have to know the password for your router, if you dont know it post again and i will tell you some of the defaults.

It didnt do anything... I go to control panel and turn off firewall, (Not recomended) and I go to exceptions, and add port 6112, I still cant host.
