I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be asking this, but nonetheless I hope someone's able to help me.
I have performed the necessary portforwarding to host games on Warcraft III (actually, I just switched on DMZ to save myself the trouble), but here's my problem.
I can host a game, people can join, all's good. But when my brother joins the game using a computer from the same network, everyone else gets dropped. I.e. I can either play with computers from the same network, or from outside, but not both.
This problem didn't exist on my old router, and I don't know how to start troubleshooting this. Hope someone can help, thanks in advance!
Router = Linksys WRT54GC

You can either have him connect to your PC via your internal/LAN IP address. Click Start > Run > type in "cmd" and Enter > In the black window, type in "ipconfig /all" and Enter, you should see 2 IP addresses - 1 represents your public IP address, and the other would be the internal one. If this doesn't work for you, just take the effort to add in the necessary port forwarding entries and see how it goes.

Okay, did the port forwarding, no go. Btw, it's impossible for both my brother and I to join the same game (hosted by another person) as well. Only one of us would be able to go in. Arghhhh, didn't happen with my old router!
Btw manyu882, what's UPNP, couldn't find it anywhere in my router configuration page/helpfile.
Thanks for the swift response guys. =)
