I'm too lazy to switch my windows language for you, bums.

Alright, so you have 2 PC's and you need to configure the port forwarding on both of them.
Let's say you have computer A and computer B.

for computer A:
follow steps included in this instruction
http://server.war2.ru/support/warcraft-ii-hosting-latency-fix/

for computer B:
you need to change game data port first. Computer A is using 6112, you gotta set computer B port to 6113.













then follow steps included in the very same instruction as the previous one

I'd use 6111 instead of 6113 for computer B

I can get three computers to work but never four.  Frustrating.  I have assigned static IPs to all four computers. The computer that I have set aside for hosting games (#1) has ports 6112-6116 (TCP and UDP) forwarded on my Actiontec (FIOS) router.  Computer #2 has port 6117 forwarded and I added a Game Data Port entry of 6117 using regedit.  Computer #3 has port 6118 forwarded and I added a Game Data Port entry of 6118. Computer #4 has port 6119 forwarded and I added a Game Data Port entry of 6119.

Again only three computers can play, the addition of the fourth always boots the other two.

I previously assigned ports 6112-6119 to computer #1 and random ports (with matching game data port entries) to computers 2-4 and same issue, three computers fine, never four.  Any ideas?

 I got it to work with four computers! 
I went back and assigned ports 6112-6119 and no Game Data Port Entry to computer #1 and random ports, with matching game data port entries, to computers 2-4.  I then REBOOTED all the computers and that did the trick.  Rebooting of all things, made it "take" and now it works, woohoo!

Nice. Also i noticed that if you modify the reg while war2 is running, you can save your changes but it wont "take" also. You have to not be running war2 when modifying reg
