How to Play WarCraft III MP w/o Bnet (using BattleLan)

Ok, I just figured it out myself since the documentation didn't really explain everything too well, so here goes nothing.

All players must have the newest version of WarCraft III installed, which is currently 1.01b. I have personally tested BattleLan with a Fixed EXE ver. (myself), while playing with two legit players (my friends).

All players must have BattleLan running

The "Server" computer must have all (correct) IPs of all the players who are going to play in the game (obviously over the internet, w/o using Bnet).

Now, I'm not sure about this point, but me and my friends did this just in case, but all players put in all other player's IPs and played the game, we couldnt get it to see other players had the "clients" not put in all the other player's IPs. I may be wrong here.

I also think that once the server puts in all the IPs and presses START, and starts WarCraft III, he cannot tab out, press STOP, insert a new IP (another player), press START and tab back into WarCraft III expecting the new player to be able to see the LAN game. You must finish putting in all the IPs in beforehand, make sure there are no more players who will join, then press START, and start the game, and start up a Local Area Network game.

That is all.
Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere in this little tid-bit.
