Connect to BattleNet from Windows XP

[BloodyFox]

Hi,

I have installed XP on my PC and create dialUP connection to internet (modem connection) and I can surf,download my mails etc.
BUT I can not access to BattleNet !!?!!
When I try to connect I get error message on BattleNet which says that I need to manualy setup my modem for dialUP Networking !!?!! but my modem is already setup for dialUP networking !!!?

Does anybody know what should be set in XP so that connect to BattleNet works ?

Maybe I forget to check or uncheck some check box somewhere !?

Thx.

It's for SC right?

You got a legal copy of the game, or you have a cracked version?

You need to connect to the internet first, then connect to b.net.

It may be your ISP, some ISP's do not allow game packets through, such as educational insitutions. Also it may depend on your connection speed.

well,
- I have a legal copy od StarCraft and BroodWar
- I first connect to internet and than start StarCraft and BroodWar
- PC is old 3 weeks and I not shure that defragment will help
- I have modem connection (45 kbs) and on W2000 I dont have any problems
- What is ISP ? Where I can find it ?

 

[BloodyFox]

Sorry boys,
ISP is Internet service provider !!

But I dont think that this is the problem !
everything was working perfect on W2000 !!?

It's name a game packet, it's a UDP, which the modem is forced to let through on account of that's how the modem communicates. ^^

And, connection speed has nothing to do with it.

Actually if you read the system reqs for bnet it says you need alteast a 28.8k connection.

In order not to lag every single game you go. Other than that, connection speed does not have a thing to do with it.

 

[RaidenMZX]

Time outs. But he said he has a 45 kbs connection so speed is ruled out. Maybe its a firewall?

 

[BloodyFox]

Well,

I try to delete battle.net from regedit,
I try to do what I found on blizzard.com support page (insert some ports into XP internet firewall)
but I still cannot connect to battle net !!!!!!!

STUPID XP !!!!!

Well i have XP also (starcraft shouldnt work on XP but it does) anyways if u get patch when u try to get into battle.net it wont work what worked for me is to go to www.battle.net and dl the patch 1.10 from there.

if that doesnt work then try what one of them said

maybe you should click the b.net option on the multiplayer screen
