OS 10.5 Hosting

Ever since we got OS 10.5 we haven't been able to host anything but the maps that came with Warcraft. Hosting custom maps results in Warcraft crashing if the firewall is set to allow all connections; and a window popping up saying "Do you want 'Warcraft 3' to accept incoming network connections" when the firewall is set to "Set access for specific services and applications." When that happens no matter what I choose the next time I attempt to connect to Battle.net I get an error saying that Bnet can't verify my version of Warcraft.

Hi Codeknight,

Have you updated to 10.5.6 yet? There was an update (I think 10.5.1) that modified the firewall's behavior.

No more bullets/arrows, so they can roll on even more stuff...

Hi, Codeknight,

I always recommend the Combo update whenever possible. It often has extra info that the "Delta" one doesn't give you.

Well, if you're using a router, try setting the firewall to Allow All Incoming Connections. That'll eliminate the OSX firewall as a culprit.

And, again if you're on a router, you'll need to set the firewall on that properly. I'd suggest checking www.portforward.com for your make & model of router. That'll give you a visual walkthru on how to set it up properly for a variety of games and applications.
