Hosting WC3 Games Help

[flacidTurtle]

Hey guys, I know this is a common problem, but I've never ever ever been able to host Wc3 games ever. I've followed every tutorial on opening ports/switching to stat IP Address/port forwarding, and even have attempted to do a total shutdown of all my firewalls/router firewalls just to see if I can host and it has never worked.
Is there any reason?
Am I just stupid?
I've had friends attempt to help, even friends who set up their own firewalls and ports and are able to do it but they've never been able to figure out my router or been able to get it to work.

I've used:
http://www.canyouseeme.org/
http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/firewall.php
http://www.overclock.net/t/44566/how-to-host-games-on-warcraft-3
http://www.overclock.net/t/98275/how-to-host-warcraft-iii-battlenet-games-with-linksys-routers

and a service that I can't seem to refind that gave step by step instructions for every router type to host any game. (The issue with that one was my router was newer than the one they had listed)

Can anyone help me, the only Time I've ever even been able to host a game was the source game garrysmod.

My Router type : NETGEAR DGN2200v3
Current Setup: Static IP Address
and I'm pretty sure AT&T is my ISP

Networking is not my Forte

Just use MakeMeHost.com.

Have you tried this tutorial? Does enabling DMZ work?

Just use MakeMeHost.com.

I make my own maps, and want to host them instead of making my friends do it (And sometimes they cannot host, its very unreliable)

This website has a limited selection of maps to host with


And Actually Yes I've used this tutorial as well. this is the one where the router is out of date. The layout and scheme of the router settings is entirely different now then this. and what is DMZ?

 

[TriggerHappy]

I think this.

You could get your map added to makemehost and then host it yourself, your friends don't need to host it for you.

Oh man you have no idea how different my router setup is from the one on PortForward. They need to update or I need to downgrade

 

[TriggerHappy]

Look around and try to enable DMZ for your IP address, it should allow you to host temporarily but I'm not sure if it's the safest.

Makemehost.com, even though mentioned before. You can upload your maps there! It's vert easy. So far I've uploaded 4 custom maps and 1 melee map.

can you point me to a link to upload?
I can't seem to find one.

EDIT: I found it, but won't it be unnecessary and maybe rude to upload my map every time i update it (Quite Often)

Contact customer support and ask for mapper access. You get 5 maps to upload/delete as you wish, with instant access.

I have mappers access
They are glad when they have activity, even just an add map. So no, it would not be rude.
