Helpful sites

Port Checker [english]

Does actually check if your port is open or not. The link is set to warcraft III default port 6112. You can easily change it by manually edit the number at address line ^^


Network Tools

Hamachi [english]

Simply put, this allow you to play "local" over the internet through a network tunnel. Many people know this very well.


Warcraft download sites

Epicwar [english]

A good source for downloading custom warcraft III maps.


Other Warcraft Communities

Gamer Isle [english]

There is another gaming community with subforums for those who wish getting a map hosted. Several mappers does put their maps there. It helps other mapmakers and create a subforum as well. For the people who only knows about hiveworkshop and wc3campaigns, this is a developing community designed for helping people hosting their maps. It has a editor part and a fresh resource section, Clan section as well in addition to many other things.

It's possible to post there about Battle Tanks and give basic info about it in the Map Submission forum. Also include a link to this forum. It would perhaps increase the number of visitors in this forum. Gamer Isle forum size is pretty much equal this forum in size.

Then you probably have upnp, which only open the port when you use a program which uses the current ports assigned to it.

Then you have to run warcraft in backround while logged in at b.net to check if your port is open. It should now display that the port is open.
