Okay I can get the games to work, but for some reason as soon as we go with me and my friend on the same connection it gets DOG slow...

I know this is a severe routing issue I have been told that a few times... But cannot seem to get a answer on how to fix the issue.

Is there a better vpn program we can play with? Or are we about screwed into the holy laggy world of battle.net?

Battlenet is messed up right now(for Diablo 1), has been for a while, they keep trying to fix it, but my kids can only get it to work on D2. Battle net tries 2-3 times a week to fix it with new updates, but hasn't realy worked yet.

Aparently this problem is also messing up Strarcraft! :toast:

Eh I can play on battle.net... Just REALLY don't like to...

We all have pretty fast machines... Don't want the extra lag...

Its really odd... When its only 1 computer per router its fine... When my friend comes over and plays on my router and we both connect boom we get like 4fps....

Now I know for a good fact this is NOT a bandwidth issue, nor a machine power issue...
*looks at my specs*......

I'm sure it's a battle.net issue, both Diablo 1 and starcraft 1 have had these issues for a while now - not connecting properly. D2 AND Starcraft2 have also been slower (but still work). It has something to do with the udates package around a couple months ago and compatability issues with the new releses VS. the old releases of their games.

Routers always slow thing down due to bandwidth allocation, but 4fps is just wrong.
