I have a Firewall. I also have cable modem. For whatever reason, I can't host a game on Battlenet. My friends will be on the phone and say "I can't see you." Anyone here encountered this problem?

Try having your firewall forward incoming UDP packets on port 6112 to your computer running Starcraft (and, of course, make sure that you can send similar packets out).

If he's looking for the game in the game list... Don't. Just type the name/password into the respective boxes and hit OK. And yeah, like Chris said, if you're doing NAT you need to make sure to forward ports 6112-6118 (? or something. Might have been WC3) in both directions, TCP and UDP, I think.

Where you are getting confused is that War III has a customizable game port - so you would forward one of each 6112, 6113 . . . to each computer on your lan. SC will receive and transmit on any of the ports 6112 - 6118 but it first has to receive a UDP packet on that port to start it. It is possible to set this up using a linux box for routing or certain advanced box routers. I imagine it is theoretically possible to setup the mapping from a firewall like program on the client computer - but AFAIK, no such application has been made. -- LTP :)

I had the windows Firewall on. As a test I turned it off. I also have PC illin software. I turned that Firewall off. I was then able to host. Understand that I am not that good with PCs. How then do I forward incoming UDP packets?
