first of all, id like to say hi and to say that im glad to be here. though im not so new at diablo, i am at diablo multiplayer (played only once when i was in austria). so, now i want to start playing it online.
here's the problem. i click the multiplayer, make my character, and then it says
"Searching for the fastest battle.net server..." it doesnt last long (20 sec top), and than it says:
"Unable to connect to the battle.net. If you are using a modem to access your service provider and are not configured for dial-up networking, you may have to initiate the connection manually."
the thing is, i connect to the internet even before starting diablo, and therefore, i dont see how it cannot connect. ive read in this forum that you have to allow the computer to use the diablo server or something, which i dont know how to do. another thing, would it help if i did something with my firewall and what?
thanks in advance.
