I have had a similar problem playing Warcraft 2 online. Luckily
the software told me that I needed to open up port 6112 for battle.net
to work ok. If you are running a firewall this may be an option. I 
also use dhcp to assign 192.168 addresses to my lan, and run a 
firewall. The workstations (some windows, some freebsd) dont even
know that there is a firewall open. 

Keep in mind that I am no expert in this situation, and my answer
may not answer your question. But if you are running a firewall, 
keep these options open.
