Need help with bnet

[Firestar_82]

Recently, I started to play diablo 2 and starcraft on the bnet. However, as I'm playing from comps within my LAN, I'm having a lot of problems.

Firstly, I can host games but no one can join the games. I've tried to forward the necessary ports that are specified at the blizzard website but it doesn't seem to work.

Secondly, when my brother and I both join the same game (using different comps in the same LAN), we cannot see each other's chat.

By the way, I'm using iptables for my firewall.

Can someone help me with my problems?

what happens if you kill the firewall?

I think it will work. Therefore I think the problem is due to configuration of the firewall.

Currently, I forwarded ports 6112 and 4000. Is this sufficient? Do I need to forward any other ports?

Could someone pls help me?
