You may have seen my other thread about LAN problems, which still hasn't been sorted, i would suggest you read it first before trying to answer this.

OK, so i can connect to the internet fine etc. but now when i want people to join my games hosted in warcraft 3 noone can connect. I have configured the router by going to the ip of it and changing my ip address to allow all incoming. Up until about half an hour ago, this worked fine and i was hosting plenty of games. Now however, people can not join my games. I have checked the router settings, none of which have changed. It makes no sense to me. It suddenly dissconected from the internet and everyone was consequentiall 'kicked' from the game. I have tried rebooting both my computer and the router and nothing has worked. Also i was wondering wheter UpnP has anything to do with the problem and whether i should enable or disable it. Thanks in advance. Chris.

Try making your DHCP license last a day.

Also, setup a "static" local IP address on your computer and configure the router to forward port 6112 to that static IP address.

The problem may be that you set the router to allow hosting from the IP address 192.168.1.3 (your IP at the time) and since then you're IP has changed to 192.168.1.2 so the router isn't sending the data to YOUR computer anymore. ***all IPs used in this example are example IPs, not your actual IPs***
