I have a firewall.

Norton Anti-Virus (Not sure if Spybot counts)

Did you disable Window's Firewall that's automatically enabled?

Yes i tried after friend helped me. It did not work. My firewall is automatically enabled.

Did you forward your ports?

Did you allow people to connect to you?

I don't know how to forward my ports nor do i have enough information on what it does.
And i do not know how to allow people to connect to my computer. If you want more information please ask, i want to host games!

Disable your firewalls. Or, in special cases, delete them.

Disable your anti-viruses, or, like above, in special cases, delete them.

Disable your Window's Firewall.

Find out the password of your router.

Find out the password of your router. Without the password, you're doomed to fail, no matter what you do, ;/

And the difference between a firewall and Window's firewall is that you can't uninstall Window's, XD.

Windows Firewall...
There should be a big red shield in your programs menu (bottom right corner of your screen) double click on that, then not hard from there to find out how to turn it off.

(Question though) What internet service are you using. Quest, Com cast?? and is it cable, dial up, or dsl.

You probly have this program... its a worthless program that attracts more viruses than it gets rid of.. Symantec AntiVirus.

This, all you need to do is open it up. go to configure--> File system real time protection--> advanced--> turn off automatic enabler. then go back and disable real time protection, hit ok.

i can tell you how to port forward is you tell me your internet provider

Edit #1: for got to say, for spybot, just make sure you dont have its realtime protection on, it will crash wc3.

Look for the brand of your router, and then find the model. Click on it, and then find Warcraft III on the list of programs, that will tell you which ports specifically to forward (6112-6119).

I did all that already. I stated that in the first post. -_- A friend helped me out. Now him and i do not know what to do. So i came here to see if you guys can help me.

Okay i know how to turn off the "Big Shield" thing and i know how to turn off the firewall. (LOL I ALWAYS THOUGHT NORTON SUCKS!!) The Automatic Enabler is obviously off because i am not crashing when in Warcraft.

My internet provider is EmbarQ. I'm using Linksys to get internet all around the house. (Or is it the otherway around..?) And i am also using Mozilla Firefox. (FTW!!)

Hopefully this can be resolved quickly as i do not know much about the computer. (Leave it all to my brother )
