I need help disabling firewall/opening ports

I need help disabling firewall/opening ports
Im a huge fan of the Warcraft series but I was disappointed to find out that you need to open some ports in your firewall to allow server hosting, does anyone know how to disable a router firewall/open certain ports? I have a 3com 10/100mbps 4 port router with 2 active computers...

Please only post the problem one time, someone will read it. No post gets overlooked around here.

Hi ssjsegatrunks,

Open the port in the router's Virtual Server settings page (connect to the router first). Just enter the port number(s) WC3 uses, point it to the IP if the computer with WC3 on it, and enabled the port. Hope that helps.

Virtual Settings page? You mean the IP address you enter to see if its running and how long etc? I checked there once and it didnt say anything about being able to open ports...
