i dont know whats happening, on the last days, i been having problems playing online games, and i mean Steam games , Guild wars , and Diablo 2 . The problem is that it seems that any of those games dont work online, i mean when i open steam, it wont download the update after a long time, when i play guild wars, it wont load any map , and when i play Diablo 2, it wont connect to Battle.net (even though i can play single mode).
I dont know whats going on, but i can do all the other things like msn and surf the web. Do you guys might know whats going on? im really desperate to play diablo 2
sry, i know this is not a technical support forum, but im really desperate bou this
I used a program called hidemyip, and after I had used it I couldn't use my broswers but MSN and Xfire worked (wasn't sure about online games).
So I assume it's some virus that fucking with game connections, like mine fucked with browser connections?
you know, thats exactly what i was thinking, but i've used my antivirus and it wont detect anything, maybe the bastard is well hidden, but now you say it, ill use different antivirus,thx
I'd simply suggest a system restore to say a week/few days ago, before this started happening. If that doesn't work, system reformat (newer computes come with a simple restore, otherwise, got to use the Windows XP cd).

this is way off topic but there was a text msg going around with her on there and if you didnt send it to atleast 10 people then she would kill you the next time you went to sleep, i didnt send it, and im still alive
I don't exactly know what your problem is. But I've been having some problems too. =/ Whenever I try to join a server on steam (I play DoD), I get an error message that explains that the client server can't find my steamID because of no connection to the authentication server. o.O And I have *no* idea what that means or how to fix it. I think I'm in the same boat as you bud, and if not... well we're both stuck in the same damn body of water.

I've had some problems with my games in the past related to my router, especially Warcraft 3. However I could always connect to other servers, it was just that other people couldn't connect to me. So it doesn't sound like the same issue at all.
Well you're lucky your browsers still work, that way you can troubleshoot. I can't help you though.

lol, the second mention of a DNS error in a few days. Creepy.
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.

Sounds like a DNS issue with your provider. In these cases IM can work but other stuff doesn't.
thx for the help, im calling my isp, to see wtf is going on, and see if they can change my DNS, and my IP. Also, im asking bout if they blocked the ports, i hope that isnt the case. thx for the help again

Do you have an external firewall? or a router with NAT-functionality?
The box that came with my internet (It is the modem in a great many other internet packages) turned out to be a router, and when I plugged in another router (in the belief that the box was a modem) I couldnt play online, but the browsers worked...
Try to enter this ip in your adress line: 192.168.0.1
This will connect you to your router. Then look for NAT options (or something like it.) And write the results here..
i dont use a router,definitively its a cable modem, and i dont use any firewall software
none antivirus is active, i just use it weekly to scan virus, but its never turned on. its a freaking puzzle isnt it? .
As an observation , i networked another pc , and old one, and ran diablo 2 on it, it happened exactly the same, Choosed Battle.net and taked like 1 min to ask my account, then another min to let me choose my char and 2 min to join the chat.
It lasts like 5 min to join the game and when it joins is so laggy i cant even move. It happens the same on mythos, it joins, but it takes years to join a server and then its so laggy i cant move.
I have runned speedtests, and definitively its not my internet speed, it said i had 3500 kb/S of download and 650 kb/s upload and a ping of 60 (pretty good) so i dont know wft is going on. My ISP said they havent blocked any ports and i trust em, they are so idiot they will never know how to do it.
