    So I play DotA and stuff on Warcraft III Frozen Throne. I typed my default gateway into my address bar, enabled ports, and revelled in the ability to host. However, this has not been working recently, and I can't host anymore as my friends report problems of how it used to be. Can anyone give me any help?

    Umm did anything change in your connection? Did you change firewalls, routers(if you use one), network encryption(s), internet connection(i.e. service prodiver) etc?

    And what problems are your friends reporting? Lag?

    I mean, it could simply be traffic on your side as well.

    I have opened ports. My friends cannot join the game at all, and when I host a game no one joins.

    Would ICS Have anything to do with it? If so, I can't get it to turn on which may have to do with Application Gateway which I can't get to work automatically.

    EDIT: Well I got it to work, my IP address changed and I had to include that in my port openings.
