My roommates and I would like to play WC3 over our LAN (1 mac, 2 pc).

The set-up looks like this.

DSL ------> Linksys Router

Router (set for DHCP, but each comp config with static IPs: 192.168.1.202, 202, & 203)

Router--------> PC 1, PC 2, and Airport

Airport Set to Act as Ethernet Bridge

Airport--------> PBG4

We can play other multilayer games just fine- only warcraft seems to be giving us problems.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
***LH

Maybe WC3 is looking at the IP that your Airport has assigned to it. WC3 May only allow LAN Games on the same IP subnet. I'm guessing your airport gives the mac an ip in the 10.0.1.x range. Put your Mac on the linksys router and see if that fixes the problem. Or have the Airport give out 192.168.1.204 if it can.
