Hosting Games on Warcraft 3

[OrbitzXT]

Through many reinstallations of Windows XP, I've always configured my internet settings and router correctly to be able to download fast with bit torrent, host games on WC3 etc. I add the program to the Windows Firewall list, I manually configure my LAN to a set IP address, and I open the needed ports in my router's config for that IP. This has always worked fine and allowed me to do what I wanted. So today for the first time I installed Windows 64 bit edition XP. I did all these things again, but am unable to host any games on WC3. I've turned off every firewall but no luck. Is there something extra I need to do with this version of Windows? I play a lot of WC3 and can't stand not hosting, the slightest amount of lag annoys me ><, any thoughts or ideas?

Edit: A simple reseting of the router fixed this, problem solved ><

dont bother using windows firewall
disable the security service completely IMO

windows firewall is indeed useless. All i ever do is port forward a few ports, and the router firewall takes care of the rest.

WarCraft 3 works on a P2P network. So your game lags as much as the biggest lagger. It dosent matter if your the host or not.
