Looks like I should review my firewall config. Since I've been hosting Starcraft games, I was quite sure there wouldn't be a problem hosting WC3 games.
Thanks for the suggestion!

If you mean creating an Arranged Team game on Battle.net, I had a similar problem,
with a hardware firewall: nobody could connect to my game.
The solution is to allow external connections to port 6112 (this is the default, you can change it in Options->Gameplay). Check your firewall logs, you'll probably see rejected packets coming to port 6112.
If you use NAT to share the Internet connection with other(s), make sure the packets coming to port 6112 are directed to your computer. In my case, I had to define a pinhole in my router/firewall (used for NAT too).
Also in case of NAT, if the others you're sharing the connection with play Warcraft III at the same time, you'll have to define separate ports for each of them (6113, 6114 etc.) This is explained in some Blizzard FAQ.
