Unless there's a specific exception you haven't made for your router you should be able to play these games just as you normally would on an internet connection.

You should elaborate on your difficulties.

Protip: Don't play SC2 over macconnect. Your ping will be shit and there is a high chance you randomly drop from games.

sc2 works fine, I played it yesterday on campus. battle net for the original sc and wc3 probably won't work as the port that they use is blocked on campus for security reasons. I've been told there are ways to get around that by playing through Garena with some setting changes, but I haven't tried it myself.
