Yaaya45 · 08-30-2006, 10:18 AM

I'm trying to play lan games of right now, only warcraft 3: the frozen throne, at the moment, when I'm hooked into the lan port in the wall I can ping the computer I want to play with but when I go into warcraft 3: ft we can't see each others games.

the internet conection is coming in through a router for I don't know how many other people on my floor, but its an SMC router, I tried hooking up my computer directly to my roomates router but we still couldn't see each others games

Well, im having the same problem with a few of my games, my first question is... Are you using same cd key, or ilegal copy of disk (no i wont tell on you) its just that ive noticed that with some games it refuses to work right when they have the same cd key (im not sure why, guess some kind of security measure) and also, do a search for his ip in the games menu (Or in some cases the devices network Id) and if that dont work, Than maybe ill get some help on this thread to...

just some tips

make sure you have a local area network set up between the computers e.g MsHome
in your firewalls make sure each others PCs are allowed or is an exception.
for warcraft 3 cd-keys dont matter. they're only used for Battle.Net
also try have the same version of warcraft. that may help

that worked for me :)
