undo firewalls, reboot, restart modem, reinstall after all fails.

If you have a operating system that's worth it's name you don't need stuff like antivirus or firewalls.
wc3 runs perfectly fine on linux using wine btw.
So go on and hack me my ip: 80.226.0.1

greets Dekar

ps: if you have a router you really don't need a firewall, even with windows since the nat drops all incoming packets!

[Dekar]

A routers firewall drops 100% of the incoming packets what else would you want?
(As long as you don't punch holes in it by forwarding ports for wc3 hosting - and you would punch them in the software firewall, too)

Then how do you explain the plenty amount of people that are virus victims and they use routers.... And usually they can't even "touch" the routers firewall settings...
And, when I find my computer on my home network, yes, I'll forward the ports as I did last time ( check my topic, under this one )...

Maybe they downloaded a malicious file? People don't always get viruses simply because they use a router...

How are they not right? Both Ozzy and Dekar are completely correct. A router does "block" all incoming ports except on port 80(most routers) to allow internet browsing. Depending on what website people go to and what they run from that website causes these "virus" cases. So why would they stay out of soemthing they understand fully?

@Chinoman10:
That actually was an insult... ozza may warn you idc.
And he was totally right, there is no way to hack you if you are firewalled and don't access anything.
If you open a port for wc3 hosting you drill a hole in your firewall... if you do that you may also turn it completely off!
The only reason to use a firewall is to protect internal services from external access.
