You have whats called Latency problem.
There's 2 ways to fix it.
The easy way,
or the traditional more-elaborate-headachegiving-antinoobfriendly way.
Before we start, this isn't a foolproof walkthrough guide on how to solve, thats impossible given the large variety of router brands and models out there, its merely to point you in the right path, you will have to use your common sense and/or goggle things out on your own.
The Easy way (The DMZ feature):
Open up your router configuration.
This is done typing the gateway address ip of your router on the web browser of your choice, read: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstricks/f/default-gateway-ip-address.htm
Some routers if not all routers have login passwords, goggle "Your-router-brandname-and-model default admin passwd"
Some are l: admin p: blank, some the password is the WEP/WPA key, etc... or you can call your ISP and ask for it.Once in, Look up for a setting called DMZ and set it to enable to your computer/ip.
Done.
The traditional way (6112 6119 ports):
You have to "PORTFORWARD" the 6112 and 6119 tcp and udp ports on your router.
Theres detailed step by step on the following link, but again, chances are you will not find the walkthrough for your specific router brand and model so just choose a similar one and try to figure it out.

Once done, thats the hardware part: Needless to say you have to allow war2 in whatever software firewalls you may be running on your OS. (Or in my opinion uninstall them off since they are all pretty useless but that's just my personal opinion.)
Or if your too lazy
Theres a hosting bot on the war2 chat lobby but only hosts 2 map choices. (gow ef and chop f)
**ill edit this thread later cuz i dont even know those commands and the hosting bots are offline at the moment of posting.

Also the link on the main server.war2.ru page: http://server.war2.ru/support/warcraft-ii-hosting-latency-fix/ (http://server.war2.ru/support/warcraft-ii-hosting-latency-fix/)
Also my instruction on warccraft occult: http://occult.war2.ru/war2.warcraft.org/forum/viewtopic.php-t=25391.htm (http://occult.war2.ru/war2.warcraft.org/forum/viewtopic.php-t=25391.htm)
Also port 6112 would be enough instead of range 6112-6119.
Of course, we can stick this topic, looks like this instruction is sticked everywhere with no result...

ah didn't see the guide at main page

ah didn't see the guide at main page
I think you're not the only one who didn't...
Each newb goes through that also.
Looks like that have to be written inside bnet, right when anybody creates the game...

HELL NO! WTF.
make the welcome message "are you new here? type //noob"
and add guidelines (or where to find 'em) there
-
HELL NO! WTF.
I don't plan to add this addition to topic message of course, that should be stupid i think.
I have some ideas to implement...
But i think such instructions should not be posted everywhere, they should be made as natively obvious...
-
The "are you new here? Type //noob" idea by claw is actually a really good idea.
-
The "are you new here? Type //noob" idea by claw is actually a really good idea.
you would actually type //noob, wouldn't you? I can see it in your eyes, you know you want to... filthy, filthy whore.
-
make the welcome message "are you new here? type //noob"
working now.
Any offers about //noob alias updating?

typical fear of uneducated noobs,
a standard common malware is 100x more of a threat than dmz being open

You guys still got the upnp loader??

http://sourceforge.net/projects/upnp-portmapper/files/latest/download (http://sourceforge.net/projects/upnp-portmapper/files/latest/download)
Close enough. You can use that to manage UPnP ports without knowing the PW of the router. However, it requires UPnP to be enabled (normally it is by default). The main advantage to using this app is that it standardizes the "how to" for opening a port. Since all routers are different, the "how do I forward XYZ" answer is always different. If this is used, you can explain how to do it and it would be the same no matter what router they use............... as long as UPnP is enabled of course ;) the "Create" button is what allows you to create a new port forward. It also shows you to see/edit other UPnP ports already in use, the most common are a ton of Skype ports.

lol //noob cmd goes:

whats helpful about that ??? :P
add this line and you're good to go:

would make sense to use one of the websites to shorten it, for example goo.gl/hostnoob
xd
-

Good thing. Need to get a c++ upnp library and to build it as an application working by 1 click. Or better to add it to patcher. Or as fast solution - same software with command line interface to call from bat-file when starting war2.
It's another long-time idea i never have time to run...
-
Yes I used Portmapper I linked to it in old forums. I think it's to confusing to newbs
-
I will have to try that if I ever get around to playing again. I lost my router password like 2 years ago after I formated and forgot to backup my firefox passwords.

Still poses a uncessary security risk.
Not difficult to correctly portforward.

True, if one of his running applications is vulnerable.
