Help, this is a tough question

[ninjatator]

ok, here's the problem: i go to connect to battle.net (any realm) and it gets to the point where it says "accessing your account" and, after about 10 seconds or so) it fails and says that i need to connect to the internet....problem is, i am connected to the internet.

here's what ive tried:

i have un-installed Diablo II LOD on my computer, and have installed it using 3 different CD keys....same problem exists.

i called a frind in another town, and he can access all my accounts, no problem at all.

so my CD keys havn't been banned, nor my account deleated.

i have no firewall, i deactivated it

which brings me to my router..im on a college campus and all the routers are teh same and are open for full public use. no ACL's or anything like that to block any connection.

I even went to the blizzard site and did their 6 steps for deleating diablo off my computer, including flughing it from my registry.

but no matter what i do, i get the same problem...battle.net will load until it says accessing account, and then it will say i need to connect to the internet.

one more thing, i get the same problem with Starcraft and Warcraft


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh help someone

huh, its either your ISP, which is your college doesn't want to waste bandwith on whatever your doing or you have recently done something with your network settings of the sort. I doubt it could be a virus. Or somehow you got IP banned or something but thats not possible b/c most likely ur acct would get banned before ur IP does.

Yes, I would agree with simpleforce. You said that pretty much 'any' Battle.net game does this upon connection to realm. This makes sense since as I recall, realms use similar if not the same ports for all games.

Even though your college or campus may not 'throttle' your connection they could push anything thats not HTTP into a grey area that fights for bandwidth with everything else (P2P, gaming, etc.) Do any of your roommates actively use P2P? Maybe they are hogging all of your bandwidth.

As well, this could be caused simple improper configuration of the network...a port forwarding issue etc. I would contact your college and tell them you use a tcp/ip 'application' on port X that isnt working. See if there are known problems or stoppages.

i'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't have a roomate so no worries on the P2P problem.....however, i do use 2 computers and they both lost connection at the same exact time, and are both having the same problem. i bet it is my college, ill go chat with the network admin here and beg for bandwidth lol.


thanks guyz, if anyone else has an oponion, feel free to post it here. you've helped alot and i love you all.......damn xTc
