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.

For the DI-604, DI-614+. DI-624, DI-754, DI-764, or DI-774:

Step 1

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:

(warcraft3). Private IP - Enter
the IP Address of the computer
you want to host the game.

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
