Sorry for the double posting... there were lag issues with either my internet or the forum... I appreciate the help even if it was a year old.. my kids and I wanted to play the old SC before the new one comes out... What are we guessing now? February? mike

>>>>Change the ports... :/ Go to RegEdit on the computer that's on a wireless card. Go to: [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareBattle.netConfiguration] then make a dword named, "Game Data Port" and put in the value 6113 in decimal. Now you have to set up the router, or ask your your provider to do so. Set the configured UDP port forward on the router to proper IP. Ensure yourself, that you really configure UDP protocol, not TCP. And bam!, you can create games. However, you can only join a game with both computers, not create one where the other joins. <<<<< Thanks David K!! This worked for me... I had set port forwarding up in my linksys wireless router and set a static ip on my computers but only the wired one would be able to create games.. My boys two computers that are wirelessly connected could not... this is apparently because the router doesn't know what computer to send info to because it only sees the router ip and standard port 6112... changing one wireless computer to port 6113 and the other to port 6114 worked and both wireless computers can now create games and apparently do so without lag.... thanks!! only a small correction I found is that in XP... blizzard config is in localmachine..not currentuser... mike393 >>>>Change the ports... :/ Go to RegEdit on the computer that's on a wireless card.
