[edit] Solution for Hosting problems in Warcraft III

You will only have to try one of the solutions.

If a Solution doesn't work try another.

I will add more solutions if requested.

This is what a Router looks like

This is what a modem looks like

Find your Router and your Modem. (They are pretty similar, but it is important to differentiate them)
Unplug all cables from them, /but leave the telephone cable in your Modem untouched/ (This will disconnect you from the internet, but don't worry about it)
Take one cable and connect your Modem to your PC with it. (Yes, leaving the router out)
Now your internet should work again. (If not, you will just have to restart your computer)
Turn off your firewall. (Or if you can, add port 6112 to the exception list)
Now you should be able to host! Have fun!
When done playing, turn your firewall on again!

Go to portforward.com (Don't be afraid, it's a huge list of routers)
Press CTRL+F and type in your Router's Model Name
Now CTRL+F Warcraft III click on it. (If you want to host in StarCraft or any other blizzard product, select that item instead of Warcraft III)
Follow the steps on the portforward website.

If none of these methods work for you please check Blizzard's 'official' guide!
