[RageRZ]

Anyone noes how to use battle LAN for warcraft 3 can teach me pls?

[LDK]

Lancraft?

Just use Hamachi it much easier

1 person make a room
the rest of player join
the PERSON THAT MAKE room, create/host map
the player join the map in Local Lan Connect(in warcraft 3)

well the problams that the host needs to have opened ports. i got a crappy nett and gonna have a new 1 soon(i hope) with opened ports, but don't know yet if i need to do something with my software to allow ports.

[LDK]

Hamachi = create virtual LAN
therefore no need for port!

Well there is hamachi port...but it should be easy to open(automatically?)

[Sysfader]

hamachi doesnt work poperly always. i dont see some of my friends games and my friends dont see my games. sometimes hamachi is overcrowded and it is impossible to connect. never the less hamachi does work sometimes and is used alot but if i could i would use an ip ost and connect through lancraft

Well if you wanted to play LAN then you would need open ports (If you're not using Hamachi).

To open ports you need to:

1) Go into warcraft and click Options>Gameplay Then check what port is in the box near the bottom left (Usually the number is 6110-6120)

2) Alt-Tab or exit Warcraft and go Start>Control Panel>Networks or Internet connections>Windows Firewall.

3) You can either turn off the firewall (NOT RECOMMENDED!) or you can manually make the port excepted by the firewall.

4) To manually except the port go to the Exceptions tab (In the windows firewall box).

5) Then click add port (near the bottom of the box).

6)It will ask you for a Name and Port Number.

7) Just name it "Port", and type in the number you saw when you went to Options>Gameplay in Warcraft 3 earlier into the Port Number box.

8) Then click OK, don't worry about the TCP/UDP thing... Warcraft 3 is TCP

9) Find "Port" in the list of exceptions and tick it, if it isn't already ticked.

10) Then you can host a game in LAN Warcraft, but the person you want to play LAN with has to have the same version of Warcraft and same game (eg. Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos and Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne, If you tried to play LAN between the two it wouldn't work even if you had the same ports set up between you two.

- Restart Warcraft 3 if you left it on in this whole process.

11) AND to play LAN warcraft you need to be in the same network as your friend.

12) Also, add Warcraft 3 to the exceptions list, to add Warcraft 3 to the exceptions list you need to:

13) Go Start>Control Panel>Networks or Internet connections>Windows Firewall.

14) Click on Exceptions tab.

15) Click Add Program.

16) Then find Warcraft 3 in the list.

- If it's not there then click Browse and find it by going into C: Drive.
