Mac to PC Lan Warcraft 3:Frozen Throne

Hi,
I just got a mac a little while ago and I'm having some problems game lanning. My friends are all on PC's and we are trying to lan the game warcraft 3: FT. We are connected through a wireless router but also are connected via the ethernet cables in the same router so were defiantly connected (wireless and ethernet). I am able to get onto the internet through this router how ever when we go into the game and create a game and try and join it i can never see there games, its as though i am not in there network group. any tips please? I'm very new to this so links to guides or pictures would be most appreciated, Thanks!
Ps. we all have the same version of the game and same ip adress's and there firewalls as well as mine are all turned off.

Try the ports this site recommends...

[x86_64] Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne annoying resolution bug

Hi people
I just reinstalled my Arch, was i686 and is now x86_64.
Before the change, I had War3 Frozen Throne installed via Playonlinux and everything worked fine.
But since the reinstall, I have this strange bug: when I launch the game and am in the menu, if I move my cursor to the right, the screen begins moving to the left as soon as it is near the menu, as if the resolution wasn't the one I see.
I tried:
- several resolutions, but nothing changes.
- opengl option in the launcher, and the resolution is larger than the screen, so I understand why it moves to the left when I move my cursor further than the screen border. And if I choose a smaller resolution, it's as if it zommed in o_O
- uninstall/reinstall of the game, last game patch or the install version (which is the download version from my battle.net account)
Does anyone have an idea about what is going on ?

hmm sounds like you have got the same issue like me:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68768
i think the lib32 libs are broken, but thats my oppinion. i posted also in the german forums, but there is no solution for it yet. with gentoo 64bit, same configuration, i do not have this problem (so i am using gentoo now).
please try the following:
install a 32bit chroot, xorg + wine inside the chroot and run warcraft inside the chroot.
are you using nvidia-drivers? which card do you have?

Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne Freez & Time won't save in Vista

Hi Guys,
I have a 24" 2.4, the computer froze when I try to quit WC3, this has happened twice already. Is there a fix.
Also, I have vista installed with bootcamp, whenever I boot into Vista, the time would be wrong. I keep changing it but it won't save.

Argh! I spoke too soon! I had powered down the PC before I went to bed, last night. Upon reboot, this morning, I was greeted with the all too familiar F1/F2 halt screen! I needed to go back in and set my CMOS settings back to what I needed (date/time/boot order, etc).
The only thing lowering the speed of the memory seems to have accomplished is that the PC no longer power-cycles on F10/save in CMOS. Powering off the PC brings back the issue (I am going to have to test whether going into hibernate may be a way around it...but, I doubt it.
So...is anyone else having these memory issues? Should I even have BIOS 1.2 on this SLI board (it's what MSI has installed on both boards...the one I shipped to them and the re-certified one they sent me)...I keep hearing that 1.1 is the latest?
Are there any other memory settings I could try to use to permanently get around this problem?
Is anyone else using this same memory with no problems (I noticed that the 2GB Corsair memory is not even listed in the manual that came with this MLB)?
Should I just buy new/different memory, and if so, what brand/type seems to be the most stable?
Any help is appreciated. So far, this MSI board (my 1st) has been a major disappointment and cause of frustration.

Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne on Wine lags

Is there a fix to this? I'm using wine from the AUR
bin32-wine-suse 1.1.7.2-1
I had to run this on terminal coz I can't find it on my program list...^^
Wine on ubuntu seems to run WC3 fine when I was playing with it before...
Thank you...

You may have already but see if "CMSS 3D" is enabled in your EAX Consol. Im totally a newb but if WCFT doesnt nati'vely support EAX, enabling CMSS might fill in the sound on the unused channels.

Warcraft III, The Frozen Throne - can't install it on 10.5?

+Hi - I am posting this question again since the other thread was marked as "answered".+
here we go:
I am having problems with *Warcraft III, The Frozen Throne* and I do not really understand what you did to get it to work.
Reign Of Chaos works fine, also on Battle Net, but I can't install the add-on The Frozen Throne: the installer loading time is awfull long, and when it finally loads (after 2 or 3 minutes), when I click on the install-button, it tells me to insert the Warcraft III CD. I know that the CD I have is fine (installed it on other machine).
*How do I get it to work with Leopard 10.5*?
Th x for your help.

I had the same problem, I fixed this by creating a mountable .cdr file using "burn" mounted it and installed if from the image file, after that whenever you want to play just mount the .cdr file and play non need to insert the cd anymore.

hope that works for you, let me know
cheers

Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally?

I hope I'm submitting this properly, I apologize if this irritates anyone because of improper etiquette. Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally? This is a condition which seemed to start just recently and abruptly. These applications reside on, and are launched from the startup drive, not from a network drive. Also, we have a NAS drive on the LAN that we connect to that also takes a minute or two to mount, when it used to (before this problem) mount on the desktop in a matter of about 5 seconds. We have three identical Mac Pros on the LAN, and they all have this problem when launching and using the above mentioned applications. When I physically unplug the network cable from the Mac, all applications launch instantly and function normally. I know very little about networks, so I can't begin to test or change any setting pertaining to our network - if that is where the problem lies. The only recent change to our network situation is that we lost or our internet and phone service due to massive flooding here in Minot, North Dakota (our ISP tells us the communication lines are under water and shorting out). But shouldn't our LAN still function even though we have lost our connection to the outside world? Thanks so much, in advance, for helping me solve this problem. Sheldon.

Hi there.
A slow LAN can have many things so its going slow.
1) is your lan 1gbit speed? (full duplex)
2) are the macs also 1Gbit speed? (full duplex)
3) does your nas has a firewall? (so you can see what the mac asking there)
4) on the macs is the firewall on? (does the programms can pass the fw?)
5) how big is the nas and how many files/dirctorys are on the nas? (big folders speeds down )
many questions, but sometimes there is a solution.

Warcraft III Reign of Chaos/Frozen Throne Port Help?

I have a Wireless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54G and I want to host games in Warcraft III while still having my router connected. I do not know how to find my port number. Can someone help find it?Message Edited by Melty on 01-16-200704:37 PM

Hi...
The port number for Warcraft III is 6112. In order to forward the port 6112, make sure that the computer that u are hosting on has a static IP address. Also make sure that all the firewalls on your computer allow traffic from port 6112 to be allowed.

My Email has frozen. I'm unable to close Email so I'm unable to reboot the computer. I'm a fairly new Mac user. What have I done wrong? And how do I resolve the issue? thanks, Sharon

Force quit. cmd-option-esc key combo. Then choose Mail and force quit in the window that presents itself.

Sending a message to a Mac in my LAN?

Hi,
I know the 'talk' utility but that need the other party to start talk (or at least have a Terminal session open), too.
I want to send a text message, a short string (typically one-liner) immediately to another Mac's screen here in my LAN. Just like the "net send" thingy on Windows.
I'm sure there's a way or some nice open source tool, right? Need a pointer because my googling wasn't very successful, yet.
Thanks a lot!
Stefan.

Mac - pc Games Lan

I had no idea where to post this, but as you all know, the selection of mac games has become bigger.
What I want to know if, if I had a iMac, with the game Quake 4, or Doom3...
Would I be able to Lan with my iMac and my Pc?
Thanks for answers.
This could be the final question :P

Yes you should have no trouble. Using TCP/IP you should be able to host a game on one machine on the network and connect to it via the rest of the machines. I have played several Mac versions of games with PCs connected to the same LAN.

Minimum build version of OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2191
Apple never supports an older OS than what a system ships with and Mid-2010 ships with 10.6.4+ build which has support for ATI graphics it ships with, for the processors it uses, and DDR3.
2009 came with 10.5.7 and that was Early 2009
2008 came with 10.5.1+ and really needs more like 10.5.3 or later
10.5.0 came out 3 yrs ago. That is an eternity in Apple time for an OS and hardware.
You would need to find an Early 2009 or earlier used system to run 10.5.x.

Force quitting Frozen Throne

Hi I just recently got a new white macbook for college and i installed warcraft on it. i found out that not only can i NOT launch it (i can only launch it by opening a map in the maps folder which FORCES it to launch wc3) but i also cant exit the game in a regular way as it will freeze up wc3 but not my mac. so eventually everytime i play wc3 i have to force quit it. but i heard that force quitting a lot is really bad for the hard drive and damages the system. Any ideas?

Sync between 2 Macs on a LAN incomprehensible

Hello,
First of all, I've searched a lot of solution that could synchronize iCal, Address Book and my Mail accounts between my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro (newly bought). I have the two in the same place most of the time, so a solution like mobileMe is just really too expensive for what I need.
I finally found several solutions (like with Google), but I don't want to have Google in between.
It seems that synchronizing these items on a LAN network, without having the internet is almost impossible !
That said, I tried to connect the two Macs on my network just to see how it works. I plugged into the twos with administrator accounts, so I could see almost all the folders of the other one.
Then I opened iCal on my newly bought MacBook Pro (so completely empty). But what a surprise when I saw all the entries of the other Mac !?!!!! The two iCals where synchronized !! But I just don't know how ! And Mac didn't alert me at all (maybe I didn't want that) ! And I just don't know in which sense it goes (why my Mac Pro hasn't synchronized with the MacBook for example) ? I tried to add an entry on the Mac Pro, but it hasn't synchronized with the MacBook.
Another thing is that I finally entered my mail account by hand in my MacBook, after having failed in searching a good synchronization tool. I closed the mailbox and reopened it. And what a f** surprise when I saw all the mail folders of my first Mac, and all the emails (around 5000) !! As well as the tasks, and the notes. But this time, I didn't want that ! I just wanted to be able to read my new emails on my MacBook......
So is there anybody here that can explain what happened ? And how I can synchronize the twos as I want, and when I want (with a button for example) ?
Thanks !

Thanks for your answer ! But it is not that difficult to synchronize iCal, AddressBook and mail accounts. It does work very well between an iphone and a mac !
And my 2 macs did synchronize themselves (but I just don't know how, and how to do it again)...
AFAIK, syncing iCal, addressbook, mail, it's not something built-in to OSX. (There's Migration Assistant, but that's normally a "one time use" thing.) You normally need some sort of external source (e.g.: OSX Server for iCal, Microsoft Exchange Server, MobileMe, etc.) in order to have any chance of success with an automatic sync. Syncing an iPhone to one Mac is fine. It's the syncing the two Macs that's the trick. You either do it manually, or get some third party software or as stated above, an external server.
Isn't this just a commercial thing to not allow this local synchronization ? You can open several Apple stores in the heart of world capitals with that kind of price....
IDK. All I know is that in 20+ years of me using PDAs and computers (Back to the late 80s with my Sharp Wizard, PC-XT and Apple //c) trying to keep multiple devices without designating one as the "master" always ends up with duplicates or other issues. _+It is tricky+_. In the end, most people I know end up just doing everything "manually". (a.k.a.: re-enter the calendar entries on the second computer rather than using the sync and hoping that it doesn't delete/duplicate.) Thus the need for a "server". I'm finding that for many of my clients using Macs, Gmail sync works quite well. (On Windows Gmail sync only works for Outlook calendar.) I use Gmail sync and an Exchange server (but that is another story.) Gmail is free so the features you get for the price is very good, obviously. MobileMe has other advantages which you may or may not need. (i.e.: file storage, remote wipe of iPhone.) So price really is not a primary factor, IMHO.
