Having Trouble hosting games...

I followed the instructions on www.portforward.com and I came out with this, but I'm not sure if it's correct... people still say I have 6bar latency whenever I host games. I'm all nervous because I finally guessed the password (it was changed) for my router and I'm this close to being able to host games properly. :ermm:
My router is an Actiontec MI-424-WR, with a Verizon logo stapled all over it's webpage.

*Note* If you need more info, Let me know.


MAJOR EDIT
I can host games properly when I DO NOT LAUNCH with iccup/advloader. If I launch SC with any add-ons, then I cannot host games that people can join, unless they also have advloader. (still nobody can join with iccup)
I would like to know if theres any way to host properly with my advloader, or if that's just not possible.

Have you added starcraft and the correct ports to the list of exceptions on windows firewall? Have you got any other firewalls? Have you tried disabling the DMZ?

Yes I have added starcraft & the correct ports to the list of exceptions, no I do not have any other firewalls, and I do not know what a "DMZ" is.

If you disable the DMZ for your router, it should allow SC and other blocked programs better access to the internet. It also theoretically makes your computer more vulnerable to hackers. It's up to you wether you disable it or not.

If you're far enough away from the US, you may just not be able to host, quite simply.

Yeah, distance might make you lag some (?), but it won't mean you can't host period.

I dunno why I can't host then...I've disabled DMZ, port forwarded, added firewall exceptions...maybe I should make SC use port 80.

Oh_Man -- it can pick the weakest mutalisk off from a stack of mutas - pretty OP

Oh_Man -- against zerg: https://youtu.be/PK5WD1EAnpU

Oh_Man -- another match here, way more wraiths
[02:04 am]
Oh_Man -- and templars psi storm as arty said is a strong counter to the marine med the bot was going, so the wraith was actually the correct play there
[02:04 am]
Oh_Man -- and the wraith was cloaking and going around sniping templars (which wuld be too hard to perfectly micro in a normal human game and the wraith wuld die or distract u too much trying to micro it vs doing other things)
[02:03 am]
Oh_Man -- they usually require too much micro so it's 'dumb' for a human to use them. but in the hands of the AI they become god tier, ghosts locking down goons and helping get them picked
[02:03 am]
Oh_Man -- artosis also didnt understand a couple of its plays, coz they make no sense for a human, but they did for the AI. The wraith and the ghost for example
[02:01 am]
Oh_Man -- it's issuing orders to each unit individually, so the number sounds more hype than it actually is, it's just an artifact of it not being able to use control groups
[02:01 am]
Oh_Man -- also the 6000 APM is kind of a fake/incorrect number, which is xplained by the AI maker in the comments. it's not using control groups, it doesnt have that functionality
