Yes that is pretty much what gnollguy said and I agree with it since it is how it was in starcraft so see no reason it should be changed now. So basically I shouldn't be saying that battle.net is dropping them as much as warcraft 3 is dropping one of them since battle.net is out of the picture once the game is started.
So we know that custom games are just direct communications for the people involved. This means that the me not being able to join their games thing is probably because they have a port blocked. Also since they can join their own games it means that its not a block on their computers, but on what they go through to get to the outside world. So either their router or their provider.
This still leaves us with the dropping issue. I'm going to look into getting them to fix the blocked ports problem and then with any luck that will just magically solve the dropping problem. I have no clue why it would though. : )
