So I got a new laptop and legit cd keys and everything. When i first installed i got on Closed bnet fine (mainly to ressurect my almost expired characters hehe) then i started playing it with my wife on open tcp/lan. after we beat the game i got her talked into starting characters on closed. i have the one she plays on on my desktop and i can connect fine. but now i cant connect on my laptop just gives me the ole' connecting to fastest server...... then cannot connect. i have tried to open the ports but still no avail. anything else i should try? is it possible it got banned for some stupid reason?
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

No, it you have two different sets of CD-keys (two LoD and two classic) then playing on LAN has no effect on whether or not they work, so it must be something else.

no i acually had to turn the firewall off to play on the lan. i dont know i guess ill try a re install. i did a tracert thing and it just said its timing out alot... so i dunno ill re installing it first, thanks for the help
i dunno my connection is fine. well i went to re install.. and now it wont work. it just says d2 failed to run make sure your cd is in.... and it is. this is driving me insane if its not one thing its another. could this be a symptom of a bigger problem? virus maybe?
thanks... so i got it to work again but back to square one... same message about connecting. i guess i will just keep surfing and hopefully come about the solution thanks for all the input everyone
*edit : i did the telnet thing and appearently its not connecting... how else can i be connected if i can get on the internet, play wow, play d2 on lan AND opend the ports... i guess i will wait 3 days to see if i got banned or something. but i guess that wouldnt be so because i can log on my acount on my desktop... i digress
And *if* it is a temp ban, it shouldn't last too long, either. A "real" ban gives a "you suck at life, you're banned" message. When I used to play 24/7, I'd get that every few months or so (if we ignore all the times I got temp bans for switching chars too fast--those were innumerable). I don't think it has anything to do with anything you "did" or your connection, it just happens. Sticks at connecting to server forever.
Also, I know Bashiok said that did a quick patch because of something on the server end not too long ago. Maybe they're correlated.
i was thinking would playing on the lan change stuff so i couldnt get on closed? i dunno

have you tried a re-install?
Thanks Caniroth for the awesome sig!

but usually when blizz ban you they make it clear that youre banned.
unless temp ban, in that case 1-24 hrs will clear it up, but if u try to login repeatably it lengthens the ban time.
if u have a virus, blizz will give u an error msg about the "version" of D2 if it is associated with the game.

but it any case it doesnt sound like a temp ban.
