[COLOR="Red"]The next step is doing the same thing, again, but at choice c), select [B]UDP[/B] instead of [B]TCP[/B] ( you must have [B]both ports forwarded[/B] ).[/COLOR]

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