I am also trying to figure out how to run WC3 using GIT 0.98; i have read all the posts on setting this up and i am still confused. mainly; what is a subnet mask, and how do i change it if i have to?
fyi, This is the situation:
there are 2 pcs; one in the US and the other in egypt. (yes, egypt)
the US pc is a cable modem; very fast. the egypt pc is ADSL.
US PC: IP address is known (xx.xx.xxx.xxx) <--- GIT server
Egypt pc : IP address is 1.0.0.1 - we used the link below to get the external IP
"http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation"
both pcs installed GIT, and we have established a connection (connection status shows packets sent and forwarded)
we used callidus's advice at this post:
viewtopic.php?t=232&highlight=warcraft+3
and we still cant get the game to work. both versions are the same WC3:TFT v1.07
if someone could give a step by step guide on how to set this up; both for the server and the client, i would be eternally greatful!
