I know how those keys got there, I think. Though it may be different for clients of a different nationality (game client, not computer / user), I'm fairly certain that it's not the case.
What your friend inadvertantly did (and this NEVER ceased to amaze me how people can do something like this and not realize it) is add in a registry entry (probably by opening a registry file, which would have added all that junk to his Gateway listing; moreover, it could have contained ONLY those gateways, and NONE of the Battle.Net gateways, which would have given the result that you are seeing) with those servers. Now, what confuses me is the whole LAN Party / LAN Intranet bit. But, all that aside, FSGS is a B.Net server emulation program, popular awhile back before they disappeared off the face of the earth. BroodWars, I am assuming, is either something along the same vein, or possibly an install of SC: BW, although I doubt it.
My advice to him is to download a B.Net Gateway editor (I have one hosted at my site, if you need one), and manually delete, and then add in all the B.Net Gateways.
Battle.Net Gateway Editor - Download and run this (IGNORE the included registry file; it's ONLY used for Warcraft III). Click the "Starcraft / Broodwar" button (note that D1, SC, BW, and WC2BNE all use the same Gateway entries, while D2 and LoD use another set, and WC3 / WC3XP use yet another set). Then, delete ALL the entries, and put this in instead (IN THIS ORDER):
Servername: U.S. West
Hostname: uswest.battle.net
Zone: 8
Servername: U.S. East
Hostname: useast.battle.net
Zone: 6
Servername: Asia
Hostname: asia.battle.net
Zone: -9
Servername: Europe
Hostname: europe.battle.net
Zone: -1
After doing so, make sure he SAVES it, otherwise it will NOT take effect.
So, to recap:
1) Uninstall Diablo.
2) Reinstall Diablo.
3) MANUALLY patch from 1.00 to 1.09 (1.09b if you're on a Windows NT platform)
4) Download and run the BNetGatewayEditor.
5) Input the information as noted above, and SAVE IT.
6) Enjoy playing. ;)
If you have any further problems, post here, with as much information (including exported registry keys, screenshots, etc.) as you can. To export a registry entry, goto Start -> Run -> RegEdit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Battle.net\Configuration\, click Registry -> Export Registry File... and save it.
Best of luck to you. :)
