Just started getting back into playing StarCraft [Broodwar] and am having issues with joining/creating games on Battle.net. In the channel, my friends and I all show up with one green bars, however, when we try to join a game, it gives an error that the game latency is too high (or something to that extent).

The weird thing is, if someone else creates a game, there are no issues with joining. Then when the problem starts occuring again with that person created, someone else has to create the game and we can join. There are some people, also with one green bar, that can't join at all (even with disabling the firewall stuff and all).

Is there anything that can be done to address this issue? I remember when I first started playing StarCraft on 56k modem there weren't issues like this (maybe some latency during the game, but not joining/creating). Now on broadband, there seems to be problems.

Any thoughs?

Thanks.

It's your firewall/router. Have your router forward/open/whatever it's called the right port, something in the 6000's I think, the website should tell you.
