I'm too lazy to switch my windows language for you, bums.
Alright, so you have 2 PC's and you need to configure the port forwarding on both of them.
Let's say you have computer A and computer B.
for computer A:
follow steps included in this instruction
http://server.war2.ru/support/warcraft-ii-hosting-latency-fix/ (http://server.war2.ru/support/warcraft-ii-hosting-latency-fix/)
for computer B:
you need to change game data port first. Computer A is using 6112, you gotta set computer B port to 6113.

then follow steps included in the very same instruction as the previous one

Thanks for detailed instruction, got from this topic: http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,129.0.html (http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,129.0.html)

so far this hasnt worked for the 2 different people i know who have tried it.
-
It works, I used this method a while back on bnet.

I'd use 6111 instead of 6113 for computer B

Super useful post, thanks claw

I can get three computers to work but never four. Frustrating. I have assigned static IPs to all four computers. The computer that I have set aside for hosting games (#1) has ports 6112-6116 (TCP and UDP) forwarded on my Actiontec (FIOS) router. Computer #2 has port 6117 forwarded and I added a Game Data Port entry of 6117 using regedit. Computer #3 has port 6118 forwarded and I added a Game Data Port entry of 6118. Computer #4 has port 6119 forwarded and I added a Game Data Port entry of 6119.
Again only three computers can play, the addition of the fourth always boots the other two.
I previously assigned ports 6112-6119 to computer #1 and random ports (with matching game data port entries) to computers 2-4 and same issue, three computers fine, never four. Any ideas?
-
I got it to work with four computers!
I went back and assigned ports 6112-6119 and no Game Data Port Entry to computer #1 and random ports, with matching game data port entries, to computers 2-4. I then REBOOTED all the computers and that did the trick. Rebooting of all things, made it "take" and now it works, woohoo!
-
Nice. Also i noticed that if you modify the reg while war2 is running, you can save your changes but it wont "take" also. You have to not be running war2 when modifying reg

Glad it helped someone! :3

Yea lol did you credit the guy I found this from on team liquid?? You didn't have to make a tutorial about this LOL and I could swear I brough this research to the war2 community.....
-
then go ahead and make your own, better tutorial. we'll unsticky this and sticky yours. be practical here
-
There is no need bro credit the guy I'll find the link for you. And this is pointless iL made the reg files.
-
So I hook up the computers again today and try to host a three person match and only two can play. How can this happen? All the settings are as before, all firewalls are off.
I checked the ports I have assigned on server.war2.ru/port_tester.php? and they show up as open when I have the computers join battlenet. However, when I have them join a game I host, they revert to closed. Any ideas? I have spent hours trying different things and rebooting the computer and router but nothing works.

Looks like something is configured wrong.
1. You should check that you forwarded different ports for each your internal computer and also added proper game data port into each computer registry.
2. Otherwise you can just delete all your rules from router, install war2combat with random ports on each computer and run it via war2ploader if your router supports UPNP.

this thread is a waste of time, I already posted a reg file before and people can just double click it and its done.

Its better to have multiple guides up so if something doesn't work for one they can keep on trying.

well i dont know, i've heard a couple of times about people using this guide and never heard about them using your reg file. Put it somewhere visible maybe. Or have my post edited with your .reg link. I don't think it matters THAT much though, considering the random port feature is built-in in the newest cumbat...
-
He pmed it to me, I'm going to include it on the site. Just a reg file to automate the steps of changing the game data port, but still handy.

Having one master guide that covers all the potential solutions better IMO, so if someone has a duplicate question you can send them to that page instead of rehashing the same info over and over in various forum threads. (That was a big problem I noticed on the old forum.) The new support section on the site will hopefully accomplish this.

I create 2 new rules on my router...
Rule 1: Warcraft II
Port 6112 - 6119, BOTH protocol, Computer A ( main computer )
Rule 2: Warcraft II 2
Port 6113 - 6119, BOTH protocol, Computer B ( Second computer )
I also change my regedit Game data port on computer B for 6113 decimal.
PS: we both can join other people games, both we cant join each other from our own created game..
Also, if we join other peoples games, we will have conflict lag and we cant see what we write on game...
-
Sounds like you configuration is correct. Did you always have conflict issues ? Maybe you don't have a real ip?

Similar thing happened to me, was resolved after using 6111-6120 for the second computer.
