I use GameRanger to play Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne on LAN with other players. Occasionally, a friend and I would use it to test out a custom map that I made. Recently, however, a major issue has appeared. I can join anyone's room and the games that they are hosting in the Warcraft lobby, but the same cannot be said for them. I can host my own rooms but whenever they try to join my game lobby, they get a message stating that they "cannot join specified game".
I tried everything; from reinstalling Game Ranger, reinstalling Warcraft, allowing both through Firewall, and even turning off the Firewall completely. There was however an instance where a player was able to join me. A friend of mine suggested that it was a problem with my Warcraft's game.dll file and shared his file for me to replace mine with so that I did. This worked only once sadly and I still can't find a way to fix this issue. Is there a way for me to fix this or should I move on from Game Ranger and find another program for LAN games? If so, which program do you suggest do I change to?
P.S: My Warcraft patch is 1.26
