Are you running any firewalls ? Are you behind a router ?

 

[Wizzer[BNE]]

I have a firewall but it's turned off.

What is a router?!?

A router is a device which allows you to share your internet connection, establish a connection between your computers and offer security against hackers.

 

[Wizzer[BNE]]

No i dont have a router.
And my Firewall is turned off.

 

[NoNameRequired]

Which operating system are you running on ?

 

[LT.Homer Simpson]

You can also try deleting the file bncache.dat located in the starcraft directory. This file sometimes gets to big or corrupt and prevents you from entering bnet or a game properly.
Deleting hurts nothing because a fresh new copy will be made when you log back on battlenet.

 

[Wizzer[BNE]]

My operating system is XP.
And thanx for the bncache file il try that

 

[Wizzer[BNE]]

No deleting the bncache file didnt help.
Its size was about 450kb
Do u have anymore suggestions.

You aren't by chance in school with a high speed internet connection, are you?

 

[Wizzer[BNE]]

I asked for suggestions.
No im not in school.
I'm at home on my computer with my cable internet which is fast.

 

[wakko]

Reason I asked is because some schools block certain ports.

If you run a tracert from your system to the Realm you play on (USEast, USWest, Europe, Asia), do you see any * * * or high ping times (>1000ms)?

Worth a shot.

To do this:

1. Start -> Run -> cmd [Enter]
2. Run a tracert to the realm you play on: (i.e. if you play on USEast the tracert would look like this: tracert useast.battle.net)

Look for any high ping times or * * *.
