okay this is the thing...I know how to port forward i've done it before but I recently got a new modem from my ISP and its a SpeedTouch 780 now the problem is that a few months ago I was able to play StarCraft fine with this SpeedTouch, when I tried getting on this week, it won't work.

I can get on battle.net but heres where my problems start i'll separate them into different pieces.

Problem #1
Friend A) I can enter his maps, load his maps, and play his maps just fine (when its only me and him)
Friend B) Can't enter my maps, I can't enter his (and I used to be able to a few months ago)

Problem #2
If I enter a map my DL won't start, I've played starcraft for a long time I know it isn't instant if others are DLing but even after everyone DLs I won't even if I rj 100 times, the only thing that seems to fix the problem is having people leave (the fewer the people in the room the higher the chance my DL will start)

Problem #3
Even if I somehow DL the map and get into the game they will lag like crazy for everyone until I leave the map (the exception is when I play alone with me and Friend A)

I port forwarded my modem (which apparently doubles as a router -.-) via PortForward.com and I'm 100% sure I staticed IP'd and Forwarded it correctly but even after fowarding it and such it still won't work, its becoming really frustrating and for some reason I get the impression it isn't my computer seeing as it didn't do this till I DLed the new patch a few weeks ago (ask I said It worked fantastic a few months ago without any hardware changes or software changes)
