Starcraft lag?!?!

[(Cyber)Xero]

i have a 2400 intel pentium 4
256 mb ram
onboard video

i installed starcraft(SC) because its just such a good classic. as i went to play it, i noticed high amounts of lag. now, i am playing the campaign here. not much animation is going on at all, and i even turned the graphics all the way down. i play games that use much more processing power than that and i dont get that much lag. i also put sc on my laptop, which is 133mhz and it ran the same. this is really confusing and botrhersome, seeing as how i love the game. any help is much appreciated

thanks

Hi. I can't create create starcraft games anymore because no one can join them! I guess I have latency. How do I lose it?????:dizzy:

if you're behind a router you prolly have to open the following ports

from http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage-2400.html

Starcraft needs TCP port 6112 and UDP port 6112 open to play games
