2 of my roommates have PCs and play Warcraft 3 in LAN, but I cant see their group when I get on with my Mac. I think I have to port open on my firewall correctly, but would like someone to explain to me how to do it correctly. Just so im sure.

Also, I've tried connecting wireless and via Ethernet cable, neither work. Is there something I forgot to do?

Thanks

Evan

9 times out of 10 it is because you are not running the same patch as they are, or they are hosting an expansion game and you are playing vanilla. If you're on a LAN and have port 6112 open it should be all clear.
