Hello, I'm from Poland, so my English could not be the best, but please try to understand an help me in my problem, which I showed below:

So, on both computers I have original full version of BM (and BM is patched to version 1.1.1 on both computers) , Windows Vista(one notebook, one PC),
So, When I want to connect with cable, and when I host in PC computer, Laptop dont "see" my PC game. When I host in notebook, I see game, but when I am trying to connect I see monit: "Problem encoutered when trying to connect the server"
This same problem is when we are connected in WLAN

Problem is only in this game(warcraft 3, starcraft is working fine)

I tryied demo version and it Was brilliant, so I bought this game, and now can't connect. Please help ;(

I would say its either ports on yr PC not open...{see replated threads}or your firewall....Possibly that is.

Yea it sounds like firewall ports forwarding need to be enabled. I don't know what ports the game uses or what firewall and/or router you have so I don't know how to help you.

Im sure there is a thread on these forums about "ports to open".
Use the search facility and im sure you will find it.
And you will need the patch to play on-line.

Search for ports and find the ports! (http://support.eidosinteractive.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=559)

I don't know what the problem is but if the Demo worked on these two PCs you can try the following:
Rename your current BSM executable. BSMFULL.exe Then copy the Demo executable into the full install and run that. I've heard this works and that you will have full use of all maps for multi player. If you want to play single player again launch the renamed executable.
