13 How do I configure my router to play Warcraft 3?

You must open ports on your router to allow incoming traffic while hosting a game in
Warcraft 3. To play a game, you do not have to configure your router.

Warcraft 3 (Battlenet) uses port 6112.

Step 1: Open your web browser and enter the IP Address of your router (192.168.0.1).
Enter username (admin) and your password (leave blank).

Step 2: Click on Advanced and then click Virtual Server.

Step 3: Create a new entry: Click Enabled. Enter a name (warcraft3). Private IP - Enter
the IP Address of the computer you want to host the game. Select

TCP for Protocol Type

Enter

6112 for both Private Port and Public Port Click Always or set a schedule.

Step 4 Click

Apply and then Continue.

Note: In order to host a Warcraft 3 game, you need to be able to accept both types of
traffic on the computer that is running this game. To ensure this, please repeat steps
1-4 and this time make sure to select

UDP for Protocol Type.

Note: If you want multiple computers from you LAN to play in the same game that
you are hosting, then repeat the steps above and enter the IP Addresses of the other
computers. You will need to change ports. Computer #2 can use port 6113, computer
#3 can use 6114, and so on.
