I have a Warcraft III Hosting Site.
Here it is: http://war3hosting.webs.com/
(NOTE: Windows XP Demonstration. I do not give Mac support, sorry.)
IF THE VIDEO DOES NOT PLAY: TYPE "&fmt=18"
at the end of the URL.I'll make some comments to the video. Just click View All Comments to see a text description on how to do this.
Link to Portforwarding site:
http://portforward.com/
I'd also like to share some info on what kind of things can block you from hosting.
Router (port forwarding)
Modem
Firewall (like Windows Firewall)
Software (can block other software/ports)
For Vista users:(I haven't found any problems as for the default settings for Vista. If settings have been manually changed then the software may need to be checked.)
Windows Firewall is a bit different on Vista so you need to do something else. First you need to login to Administration Tools with Windows Firewall. Once there you need to configurate inbound/outbound rules for ICMPv6 for routers. Another thing I found that might help: In the Advanced tab of your windows firewall un-check your connection from the box. This will let the firewall know you don't want it to protect your connection. This way you can receive incoming connections.
Username/Password
If you don't know it and the person who set-up the router doesn't know it.. Try looking default username/password for your specific router or you could just reset the router back to default if it is not already at default. There should be a little pen-size hole somewhere that will reset the router. It may be different for different routers.
Command Prompt not working?
-Windows Vista/7 Go to Start Menu
-Control Panel, Network And Internet,
-Network and Sharing Center, Change Adapter Settings,
-Right Click on Your Primary Internet Connection, Click
-Status, Click Details, All your information should be there.
-Windows XP, Right click on Primary Internet Connection
-icon in bottom right toolbar, Click Properties, click Support.
-Your information should be there depending on your connection type.

Ridiculous you have to do all this just to play an online game. Blizzard should be embarrassed.

@jetman1287 Just seems Blizzard did not want to host so many games. Ladder must be enough. That's why I like League of Legends. They take care of all the server-bit parts :)
