Hello, try opening up TCP port 6112 Warcraft using that for hosting games
and double check your IP settings on your router to make sure your machine
is still the machine it's being forwarded to.

I have repeatedly made sure that the port is on 6112, both on the router and
witin the game settings. My router has the port forwarding set for 6112 for
my ip specifically and i've released/renewed the ip just to make sure that
the problem isn't that i had the wrong ip set. I'm at a loss for what to do
now, I tried to reset the router and figured maybe it just got locked up, but
that didn't work either. If anyone else has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.
