Hosting Without Port Forward

[khoax123]

I hope this would help some people

Step 1.

Download utorrent.
http://www.utorrent.com/download.php

Step 2.

Run utorrent.

Step 3.

Go to the menu, 'Options',
then click 'Preferences'

Step 4.

Click 'Connection', in the left bar.

Step 5.

Record the 'Port used for incoming connections', and do not click Random Port afterwards.
Make sure 'Randomize port each time utorrent starts' is not checked.
Click OK and minimize utorrent.

Step 6.

Load Warcraft III

Step 7.

Go to Options, then Gameplay
Change the Game Port to the utorrent port you recorded.

You have now completed the steps necessary. All you have to do now is run utorrent when you want to host. Run utorrent after logging in to battle.net


Pros
- Easy to do
- Works even if your IP changes
- Simple
- Noob-friendly

Cons
- Cannot use utorrent to download at the same time while hosting.

this isn't my work i got it from http://forums.boredaussie.com/viewtopic ... rt+forward

lol XD
utorrent just uses upnp... you can use just normal upnp tools to do the job,
gettin' utorrent is kind of overkill
