Unable to connect? -> Perhaps Solution

[_CM]

Well, even I couldnt connect to bnet for some days, now i found a temporary solution to my problem. it had nothing to do with a trojan nor with any other applications around Diablo II. The problem was that the url (or ip or whatever you want to call it) that pointed to the servers was either wrong or outdated. Therefore, I refreshed these ips and got new ones from the servers itself.

1) Go to Start/Run/ type regedit to open your registry.
2) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE
3) Now DELETE the folder called Battle.net.
4) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
5) Now DELETE the folder called Battle.net
6) Run Diablo II and see if you can connect again.

I hope it works for you, because thats the only solution i got at the moment, its working fine for me.
Let me know if it also does for you.

i think there is another method...

I used this one and another one, not sure if it still works though


here:

1. Search for "hosts" or "host (not sure which one)
2. Open it with notepade etc.
3. Check the ending of the ip
-sometimes instead of having the ip, then us.east.battle.net (something like that) you'll have us.east.battlenet it would be wrong, thus not being able to connect.
4.change it to the proper settings
5.close and save
6. open d2
7. Enjoy


not sure if i got the steps right, but its no the right track. Srry i have no time to test it...gotta go to school, lates.

This happened to me before as well, I just connected to Diablo II with a Chat Bot that some friends of mine made and since it tells which server to connect to and all it fixed it for me no problem.

After everyone writes down their ideas this would be a good topic to sticky so we dont have 10 other questions like this next month (but most of the people who ask unfourtunately don't realise why the stickys are stickied...)
