so i searched trough forums for answer, but didnt seem to find any. So its basically same problem several ppl have had, without getting any decent answers.

I can only play with 1 other person, if theres any more ppl they all show up with 2 green bars and it lags horribly bad once the game starts.
There is nothing wrong with my comp, it works perfectly well when i play WoW. I formated my hardisk earlier this week. I was so looking forward to play 3v3 again after a long time. This is after i got a new connection, witch is really good. I really dont know what to do.

Sounds like a router problem. This happened to me on a regular basis before I opened ports 6112-6119.

Why won't it work if it's a Netgear router?

Its not hard to change the port that sc uses i think you can easly do it though choaslaucher under the settings tabs before the way i did it was though the regestry. But just change it to like 6113 or something also do you share a router? becuase then you defendtlly have to change the ports so you guys dont clash
I have ass for brains so,
even when I shit I'm droping knowledge.

OK, so I did everything on the guide. Once i get into my routers options and add those ports. I findt out they already have auto put up a whole bunch games and stuff. So i select starcraft, witch has ports 6112-6119 and 4000-4000. And i add WoW aswell, since i play it. and Bittorrent. since i figure its kinda logical, and me just beeing stupid enough to not check it out before.
SO i go back, start BW and once i enter, like every move i do message like "waiting for response from battle.net" comes up. Cant do shit now! makes it worse. I've tried rebooting, and tried to put back on automatic ip on ip setup, cuz thats what the guide said I should do if somthing went wrong. Restarted comp again after that, still not working. Any TIPS?

find the reset button on your router and use it. start over and just focus on getting sc working. you can fuck with bit torrent after that. if you made any registy changes unmake them. aftery you make and save changes power cycle the router before before checking to see if it worked. ive goten this to work with 2wire and dlink routers easily. If you have a dd-wrt based router you can get instructions here

Why won't it work if it's a Netgear router?


Because Netgears are fucking useless boxes.

If you don't share a router then why are you using one?

If nothing works, try the DMZ function (if your router supports it).
It has a strong technique, but it lacks oo.

Some of my friends and I independently have the same problem; don't know of a solution. It's not a port forwarding issue.
