Do you have a firewall or a router?

If you have a firewall, then turn it off and try. What firewall do you have?

If you have a router, then tell us what brand it is. You might have to open some ports for Warcraft.

I have a Link SYS router all i know. I dont know if my computer has a firewall but i will check. I have norton anit virus on my computer tho?

norton shouldn't bother warcraft. Type 192.168.1.1 . If you get to a screen, great. Usually you will get a password prompt. The default password is "admin" without a username. This should get you in. Then, look for a "port forwarding" section, or a section called "applications and gaming". Go there. Then, you should see a row of textboxes, looking like this:

Copy what I have inside the red box onto your computer.
Except, enter in the third box from the left "6119" instead of 6112. Then, enter in the last box your network IP.
To discover what this is, go to the little button by the clock that looks like a computer with little green waves coming out of it. Right click on it and select "status". Select the "support" tab, and look down to where it says "IP address". Look at the last two digits, and enter them in the last box on your router page.

Hope that helped. PM me if you have any questions.
