Ok this is a strange problem but i know others of you are having this problem. 90% of the time when i try to connect to b.net on my 56k dial up with aol the querying gateway bit pops up and my modem goes click and the stupid connie voice thing goes goodbye. Bascially the damn b.net gateway query keeps diconnecting internet connection when i try to connect to b.net. Blizzard simply say "try and install the latest patch, is the cable plugged into the wall etc". loada rubbish basically.

I have done all the things suggested so far including up to date aol, deleting regedit files, deleting bncache.dat, closing all the apps, up to date drivers and patch. Can someone out there who had this problem and successfully sorted it please tell me how.

Thanks
 
P.S This is diablo 2

Just forgot to add this is through diablo 2 expansion.
 
>> Install the latest patch.

>> Reset your server list.

>> Make sure your AOL account does not have parental controls enabled, or make sure you are using the main login. Battle.net seems to be marked as a restricted domain by AOL.

>> If the previous suggestions fail to help, try this :

Go to the Start Menu, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt.

Type TRACERT Your Realm.BATTLE.NET > C:\TRACERT.TXT

Wait a few seconds until the prompt reappears and then close the command prompt window.

Open the C:\TRACERT.TXT file using Notepad and copy paste the contents into this forum.

Note : Replace Your Realm by the realm you play on. It could be USEast USWest Europe or Asia. Example for USWest :

TRACERT USWest.Battle.net > C:\Tracert

This won't actually fix your problem, but it will help us determine the cause of your connectivity troubles.

    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
  • The Helper The Helper:
