Huh? you should be able to go to "Other Multiplayer" "TCP/IP Game" "Join game" and then put in the IP I sent you.

[Hawkfrost]

I don't have expansion, so someone PM if you start a vanilla one.

Do you know what TCP protocol is? Our machines should be in the same LOCAL network. If you want to emulate it, you should use Hamachi.

Em.. Go get one? I mean, we don't need cd-keys to play over hamachi.

[KaelGotDwarves]

okay i'll get Hamachi. hurr I'm stupid.

[Lord_Frodo]

so is this going to be on the open Bnet server?
I just now decided I should reinstall D2.

[KaelGotDwarves]

Apparently we're going to do hamachi. But yeah, it'll use open characters stored on your machine.

wat

of which I currently have none, but no matter.
so how does this Hamachi work?
I'm downloading the installer now.

EDIT: never mind it comes with a handy-dandy tutorial

I do need to know about the network we'll be using

[Deon]

The host just creates a network (better make a password) in Hamachi and others join that network.

Hamachi emulates a lan network so our computers think that they are all in a local network, then we go Other Multiplayer -> TCP/Lan and enter the IP which is given to host by hamachi.

Wait, what? I'm playing games with a friend who lives 40 kilometres away by TCP/IP game without any Hamachis or whatnot. He just connects to my IP and that's it.

EDIT: This is kind of redundant, I didn't notice the third page of replies.

[Deon]

You should have the same TCP network to use IP address for TCP/IP connection in Diablo 2. Probably you have the same ISP.

You know, the IP address Kael gave me (192.168. something) is LOCAL IP. You should have either external IP (I am not sure if Diablo 2 supports the free connection via external IPs, TCP function was there for LAN originally), but you can easily simulate it with Hamachi program.
