I have a problem.
I get insane lag when in B.net and open games. I am connected to the internet through my school's (RIT) network. I am using Windows XP. I've browsed through the Blizzard help forums and tried screwing with my firewall. As it turns out, my firewall wasn't even on (which makes sense...if it was on, I couldn't have connected in the first place!). So it wasn't because of XP's firewall.
I get the kind of lag where NPC's in town don't load, the black screen of death blocks my way, my clicks don't produce any effect on the environment, and I'm never where I think I am (i.e. I get hit by monsters a screen away).
My friend, who goes to the same school and is also running XP, has the same problem. We do fine, however, when we play open games with each other.
I do fine in B.net chatrooms.
I don't want to play single player and open games with just one person anymore. Can anyone identify and fix my problem?
