The weird thing is that it doesn't work properly with Warcraft 3. There are for instance programs that simulates a LAN, even though we're working over the internet (reduces lag a LOT). Now, there is this channel in mIRC that organizes DotA-games, called DotA.pickup. They have recently developed a software they call the Arena that uses a Java program to set up a LAN (you join the game by entering LAN game in WC 3 instead of going to battle.net, like you usually do to play over the internet). The problem is that the game doesn't show while Zone Alarm is on, though when I turn it off I can see (and enter) the game. Do you have any ideas on how I could solve this (or should I take it to Dota.pickups homepage)?
