If anyone has problems configuring the banlist once they have opened it, you have to fiddle with your network configurations a bit. You have to open up all of your network preferences, as the banlist is looking for your method of connection, your NIC, which is a windows network interface card.

If you have any problems, just post a comment here, or if you want me to run it through you in detail, I will give you my email.

How do you host? I have a Macbook. Tiger. I can’t host. Any of you can help me out? It’s so tiring looking for games you want to play. (Warcraft III) (Frozen Throne.

Dude I love this tutorial but i need help. Since i dont have my CD i looked up x11 on the internet and i found a download from apple.com. I downloaded it but when i try to install it the installer says it cant because theres newer software already installed. I cant find x11 though. when i search for it all i get is the packages that are named x11SD or something like that. whenever I try to install them nothing really happens… no x11 utility pops up… nothing. Please help?

After a few days of trying different things, I’ve finally gotten this to work.
The reason it didn’t work in os x 10.3.9 (Panther) is because mono 2.0 is for os x 10.4 or higher.

You need to install an older vr from here: http://mono-project.com/OldReleases

I installed mono 1.1.18 and now I have autorefresh in Panther!

If you already installed a newer mono and are running os x 10.3.9 you need to goto HD > Library > Frameworks > Mono.framework and throw that folder away. That will essentially uninstall mono. Then install vr 1.1.18.

If nothing happens even after you’ve gone through all the steps, then try it again and make sure to put the spaces in the right spots. I’ve followed the steps on this site and aside from needing an older mono everything does work, even in os x 10.3.9.

If you can’t host at all, you’re probably behind a firewall. Here is a tutorial if you have an Apple Airport as your router: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Apple/AirPortExtreme/Warcraft_III.htm

If you have a different router like a Linksys or something, just look for it in this list: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
Then look for the WC3 tutorial.

Good Luck!

You shouldn’t have to reinstall mono, but you’ll have to re-do everything that has to do with the autorefresher itself. (All the terminal stuff, and X11, etc.)

For the others which have difficulty with the x11. It is either you type wrongly, or u will have to wait quite some time. It happened to me at first. I tout i cant be fixed, but be patient. If it still does not pop up, u might have done it wrongly.
