First you must have Warcaft with PVPGN patch installed.

Then:

1. Go to > My Computer -> Control Panel

2. On Control Panel open Windows Firewall

Make sure that you allow incoming connections, check this

Block All Incoming Connections should NOT be ticked, or else you can't host.


3. You must have Windows Firewall set to ON.

4. Then press Add Port and select:

a) Port Name - at your own preference

b) Port Number: 6112

c) Port Type: TCP

The next step is doing the same thing, again, but at choice c), select UDP instead of TCP ( you must have both ports forwarded )

You also have to add euroloadder.exe and war3.exe to the program exception list. Click on Add Program , Find euroloader.exe in your warcraft folder and add it to the exception list. Click on Add Program , Find war3.exe in your warcraft folder and add it to the exception list. Now, you're ready to host games on Eurobattle.net! Good luck!
