Battle.Net

[MnKy]

I'm begining to become sick and tired of battle.net.

First, they mute my cd key on Starcraft Broodwar, and refuse to supply a reason for as to why they muted me, and they will not unmute it even though I have filled out a CD-Key unmuting submission form multiple times over the past 5 months. I dont mind this too much, as I don't play starcraft as much as I use to, and Blizzard claims records of offences on battle.net are "Confidential" and "Not availible to the public" which is understandable.

Second, the 1.10 patch has given many people nothing but problems. I tried to host game's and receive error's fairly frequently, mostly the same ones claiming "invalid network" pointing to a directory that doesnt even exist on my hard drive. Not to mention the large number of crashes that reveal my desktop. (And the error log in the Starcraft Directory remains empty)

Third, I went out and bought Diablo II LOD, installed it without a problem, then proceded to connect to battle.net where the 1.09D patch was downloaded and installed succesfully.
But, as the application restarted and attempted to connect to battle.net again, I received the error "You have been disconnected. Please reconnect" which temporarily BANS me from battle.net so that I cannot access it at all.

I then went to the battle.net website, tried every single thing possible to try and fix the connection problem, from deleting bnetcache, to deleting registry keys, to using telenet. But yet, the problem remained. I then reinstalled diablo II, and LOD, and STILL it would not work.

I then contacted technical support by logging onto USWest Battle.net and discussing the problem with a blizzard representative "Nathan.L". Nathan suggested that the problem was associated with my ISP, and that I should try contacting them. I called Sympatico, and explained the situation to a Technical Support person, who then told me that there is nothing sympatico can do to rectify the problem, as Sympatico does not have the Diablo II software on hand.

So now what? Can somebody PLEASE help me with LOD as I am very frustrated after spending $40 on it (which is non-refundable).

Thanks for your time,

Have you tried installing the stand-alone patch rather than updating thru Battle.net ? Are you running any software firewall ? Are you behind a router ?

 

[MnkyOf[-]ate]

Tried the standalone and it doesnt work,
Nope, not behind a firewall or router.

I finally found a blizzard representative thats going to try looking into it unlike "Nathan.L".

I'm still open for suggestions though... im pretty desperate.

Is this issue exclusive to one realm ?

 

[MnkyOf[-]ate]

Nope, I cannot connect to any realm.

I have installed and run Diablo II LOD on another system, with the same internet connection and am still faced with the same results.

This leads me to conclude that my ISP is responsible for my connection issues.

However, if I were to contact my ISP about this issue and explain the problem, what could I ask them to do in order to rectify the problem on their part?

Let your ISP worry about that.

Just ask them to make sure these ports are opened.

6112 TCP in/out
4000 TCP out (for Closed Battle.net Realm Games)
4000 TCP in/out (for Hosting on Open Battle.net or TCP/IP Games)

By the way, have you tried Open Battle.net ? (under "other" in the main menu)

Sympatico works fine with battle.net -- there is no way that they are blocking ports

I attempted to login to battle.net using the telenet, and it worked fine. However, if I try using telenet after I've tried to login using D2 then telenet fails.

I got exactly the same problem..

I updated to 1.09d and it doesn't work anymore.. It's not my isp because my neighbour has the same isp and he can play..

I have no software/hardware firewall/router nor do I have Win XP firewall..
