you have to make exceptions on your windows thing. this is what i had to do for vista, but since you're using windows 7 it might be a little diff.

control panel -> allow a program through windows firewall -> add a port

i tried turning off my firewall too but it never worked :<
now it's on and i have the ports open

Unfortunately Win7 does not have an "add port" option

i discovered a good hero to get pipe on!

after you have phase/hod/blink on axe, get pipe. it really isn't that much more because you already have hod, and it gives you like 5 more armor and the barrier thing on pipe is sick

Now I am so lost...Am I doing this right?

Do I need to add both RoC and TFT to the Allow list? Do I need to do what I did in this screenshot ^ for every single one of them (one UDP and TCP entry for both games), so 4 in all? After I tried this when I try to host a game it just stays in the Create Game screen when I push "Create Game". This is so fucking dumb I swear

You should add war3.exe to the exception list. It's the one with no icon. Reign of Chaos.exe and Frozen Throne.exe basically just link to that file, you can check task manager while the game's running. It's the same logic as Counter-Strike.exe linking to hl.exe.

Anyway, one time my friend couldn't get his lan working without turning off his firewall and he didn't know why, RoC and TFT were in the exceptions list but war3.exe was not so that was why he couldn't get it to work.

I finished school rumble bhp.
I loved it. (I actually had to read the manga afterwards... and actually got through it)! Loved the ED of the first season and the other songs aren't bad either.
