    Trouble hosting WC3 games

    I bought a new PC recently and since then I have been unable to host games of DoTA.... people can't join my games after I create. Wondering if anyone could give me some assistance.

    I've tried out all the obvious stuff already:
    1) Windows firewall is disabled and theirs nothing else like an antivirus running.
    2) I can host games on my Mac but not my new PC, which are both connected to the same router/network.
    3) I could host games on my old PC np.
    4) I setup port forwarding on my router correctly I believe. It is set to forward to the hostname, ip address and mac address of my new PC.
    5) The port range for Warcraft3 is 6112-6113, which is what its set to for the rule.
    6) I can host games np on my local network (i.e. people can connect to me if they're physically connected to the network). Just not on battle.net.

    Logically I've tried out everything that could be the problem but it still doesn't work. Anyone else have any ideas??
