I want to ask docbungle... what do you mean a restricting firewall access? I do have a router.. that has a firewall, and I believe that my mobo has a built in firewall, but i dont think its activated..

If a firewall is set up to ask your permission for certain programs to access the internet, and it has not yet been told that WC3 is allowed to do so, it can cause the screen to freeze. For example, if using a program such as Zone Alarm, you would have to click on "yes, allow wc3 to access the internet." The problem is that when HOSTING a wc3 game online the popup message would appear behind your current screen as opposed to in the foreground. Alt-tabbing won't work and neither will anything else. But it doesn't sound like you're using Zone Alarm so.... anyway it was just a thought. Good luck with that.
