http://warcraft3.filefront.com/ - Where do I put the custom maps I downloaded from the internet?
Custom Maps (.w3x/.w3m) have to be put into the Maps/Download directory in your WarCraft 3 folder - the same one the standard maps are in. If you download something direct from Battle.Net, WarCraft will put them there automatically.
If the maps are in a subdirectory of the 'Maps' folder, WarCraft will find it, even if you have to open up 5 seperate folders to getthe map. If they are not, WarCraft cannot 'find' them, and will re-download. - How can I find out my global IP address?

Read a conversation with my friend about this website.
Both programs facilitate the direct connection of peer-to-peer WarCraft 3 multiplayer custom games over the internet without having to connect to a dedicated server. Usually, the host is the one with a fast / powerful computer (at least 512Kb of RAM and 512Kbps internet connection).
LanCraft is a program used by players who want to join people who host WarCraft 3 multiplayer custom games on their computer. Hosts should not be using LanCraft while hosting a game.
BattleLan is a program used by hosts who want to 'spam' their IP address to the clients, so that they may join a WarCraft 3 multiplayer custom game without even having to use LanCraft. This is a good method but usually the host do not know the client's IP address, and it's more tedious than letting the clients use LanCraft
Usage of both together (LanCraft by clients and BattleLan by hosts) seem to work better (better connection if one fails for any reason). But both of them should not be active at the same time on the same computer.
