How would it be the same Balder, if Norse mythology is from our world, and BG is set in Fae'run, part of Abeir'Toril, i.e the Dungeons and Dragons world. And there is no mention of a gate named after anything resembling Balder in our world?
EDIT....
So Stormcat and I got a game going last night working. I think there may have been some connection issues previously with me using 56k, I no longer use that connection, I got a much, much better one.
So if anyone is interested I and probably Stormcat too, would be interested in getting a game going while we wait for D3.

Your thinking of Balder. The city of Baldur's Gate, and thus the game of the same name is named after Balduran.
Valhalla is Odin's hall for dead warriors. Asgard is the entire complex of halls, and the home of the Aesir, the Gods and Loki, who is infact not a god.
It was more than mere gatecrashing that led to Balder's death. Yes Loki did play a huge part in it.
So what is your point?

Weird, because I just tried it and it works fine. I was in a hurry so I just linked you to the page of this thread with all the links for patches and mods. It is that page that has the direct links.

Elfen could you give me that website with all the BGII patches you are using? I got BGII + Throne of Bhaal installing right now and I want to have all for it so that if I want to play with you guys it won't forfeit my save games.
You will only need the actual game patch. The mods are optional, as everything gets defaulted to what the host has installed. Even if it is none.
I have lots of mods installed, so if I was to host the game, you would all "get" the mods while you played, however if someone without any mods was to host, I would "lose" the mods i have installed.
Well i wouldn't lose them, it's not like it uninstalls them or anything, it would just be like playing an unmodded game, even though my game is incredibly modded. It would only be in the game with all of you that I wouldn't have any mods installed, or alternatively have whatever mods the host has installed that i don't.

It doesn't use CD keys. It's from the Diablo 1 era of video games, things didn't have CD Keys back then. Unless it was a Microsoft Program.

Connection issues, keeps offsetting us. Even those of us who can normally connect no problem.

$10 says your problem is Windows "Bug"sta. any takers?
Yeh gotta try it with you hosting.
EDIT...
Just tried to get a game going with Stormcat, now I can't connect. Seriously, that's like the first time that's ever happened.
Tried it with me hosting, works fine, save for my incredibly slow connection (56k).
So tried with LinkX, and then I got a different problem. What what gives? work fine for me and Stormcat last night, and we didnt change any settings of any kind, and it's not like there is some Battle.net sever to go down and through a wrench in the works.

Well LinkX was having connection problems, so at this stage it's still planned he is joining us, though his computer has other ideas.
Murderface is in the process of acquiring the game, and that's really all i know for sure. Little whiles away yet I think, but hopefully not too long.

I should murder you Elfen... That is Runescape... *Rolls eyes.*
WTF? RS is nothing like BGII
Man what was up with you not being able to connect. Everything seemed in place. You might have to try disabling your fire wall or checking that BGII is allowed by your firewall.
Or seeing as you cant join a game, we should see if others can join your game.

Well so far I know that Stormcat, Winston and myself a ready to go whenever. Requiem has the game but it's not installed yet, But I think she may have fixed that problem yesterday, not sure where sevrence is at, then that just leaves the 6th man or woman, I'm an equal oppotunity employer.
Previous members who have shown some interest include Phrozendragon, Fudlow, Maestro, Silver, Katael, Thatdude, Mobbinallday, Carloseus, Thasador, TwilightRealm, Necronergal, Murderface and Zubin I think, but as they dropped out or lost interest, for whatever reasons many months ago, I've not looked into the matter extensively.
Should they wish to rejoin, they are free to do so.

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn is the full title of the game. Just like Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness is that games full title.
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal is the expansion.
Just like Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal is the name of the expansion.
