Hi, is possible to host a game on mws without public IP address? i tried to set NAT, but it didnt work. Maybe i made it wrong.

Yes it is, but your question is quite broad and don't know how to answer, or more specifically: where to start.

Maybe the best approach is that you go to portforward.com first as it outlines nicely here what you need to understand. Referring to your router's manual is also a good idea.

Then play around with utorrent to see if you got it right, as torrent applications rely heavily on incoming connections and utorrent seems to have built-in tools to check the connection.

Also, check if your router has a hardware firewall enabled as open ports needs to be defined there too.

i have forwarded ports for warcraft 3 and it works, but this doesnt. Even its not in their list of games. Hardware firewall is turned off. Software firewall too. I dont know where is problem :/
