Problem hosting games

I can't seem to host WC3 games, nobody can join the ones that I make, is there a part of my firewall that I'm supposed to open?

all i remember is that when i lived in the dorms at my college i couldnt host games either.. i think it had something to do with the router cause our school had a rotating external ip address that was different than what you see from your computer something weird like that

you want to tell them your actual IP address that you get from your ISP not the ip you get from the router (192.161.*.* something like that) unless you playing on battle.net then

Where are you hosting? at home or at school or where?

What type of ISP do you have?

Actually, I have problems hosting WC: DoTA games too...

I've looked at my port forwarding settings and it still does not work...
