Dont get rid of you firewall. go to zonealarm.com and get their free one(a.k.a. Zone Alarm Personal). You need to make sure that all the computers you are using have the same type of card and that you are using a cross-opver cable to hook them up. its about $16 Australian for a good one. Once ZA, is installed play the game but dont go on lan and give the game full acsess. Do the dame to your other computer. Hook them up, play, and have fun

What firewall do you have ??

IF XP then go to exception and add port for battlenet (can be found in game options in Warcraft 3).

IF you have a router you need to open ports for every game.
