For one week ago, from about same hour, exactly one week ago I was sitting online on battle.net
After that I took a pause due to some problems irl, but later at the saturday morning I had for a weird reason 'Unable to connect to Battle.net'

It was like this for like 4 days and I was worried about that something was wrong.
After these days I suddenly came in, everything was normal.

It didn't take so much longer until Thursday, yesterday, when it stopped again at 'Unable to connect Battle.net'.
I was like "is this a f**king joke?".. So I gave up after all since I wanted to spend some time with my girlfriend.

So today at the morning (09.00 = +1 GMT) i decided to make a try and it actually gave me access to Battle.net again, cause I promised my friend to buy him some items later today so I logged out.

3 years later I decided to ask him to log in and play some, with me. But it appeared again, 'Unable to connect Battle.net' I was so pissed off so I started to spam the 'Battle.net'-button.
After 5 tries I suddenly came in again.

After I've left battle.net to change account it began same whole ****, so I started to spam the button once again until it gave me access and afterwards it worked.

So now when I want to play at 5.19 it stuck and won't letting me log in again.
Do any of you know the f****** problem?

It pisses me off that it doesn't work..

I use.

Wireless Internet (have tried to close the AirPort = internet)
Macbook

/Regards.

Have u already tried removing "Bnetcache" from ur D2 folder?

It tends to help a lot with connection issues

didn't work :s

Are you on a shared connection and can you connect to other realms?

I can connect to other realms yeah.
It's my own connection, my parents also use it but they don't play d2 ofc^^

Go into your command prompt and type in ipconfig /release


This should refresh your current ip, also after doing this, try resetting your router and/or your homes modem.

where can i find it in mac?

bump

do you use a router?
just unplug it and plug it back in.
or do it with your modem.

I haven't seen a suitable answer so here's my take on it.

If you're looking to obtain a new IP address, I'm going to need a little bit more information about your home network.

If you're behind a router:

You'll need to login to the router (if you'd open a terminal in mac - ps: I don't own a mac nor ever used one but from what I've seen it's similar to linux; then type in ifconfig you'll get the default IP address needed to access your router). Once that's done, you'll need to look for your MAC Address (could be named differently, MAC Clone, etc) settings and you'll need to change the number; example: 00:0d:56:66:b3:ad

Example ifconfig from my home firewall running linux (it's going to differ)





As you'll see, 10.0.5.1 is the IP I'd use to login to my firewall - with my home network setup it's far different then yours I'm sure since I'm using a firewall router and modem. It's Modem -> Firewall -> Router (router is used for the dhcp releases/wireless connections-ap connections, firewall is used for handling packets/network side of things/etc).

Once that's done, you'll then accept the changes/apply them - once your router accepts the changes it might automatically reboot the routers dhcp server, just wait. You'll then need to proceed to your modem and reset it and wait until it's fully turned back on - you should 9 times out of 10 have a new IP unless your ISP has blocked dhcp releases and they've set you up with a static IP.

If you're behind a modem, in Windows *sometimes* it works doing the ipconfig /release and /renew - but your current PC's mac address stays the same usually and it won't be of any use. I'm not entirely sure what it is for MAC since I don't use one - For linux it's : service networking restart or /etc/init.d/network (or networking) restart for most distro's - this doesn't have use to you on a MAC in regards to changing a IP address, you'll need to change the "hwaddr" such as doing a quick: ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr will obtain your current MAC, then you'll do a: ifconfig eth0 down / ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:0d:56:66:b3:ad (or whatever your current mac is, change 1 number/letter at the end of the mac will work fine) - you'll then just do a quick ifconfig eth0 up - this isn't a guaranteed solution, especially for MAC since I'm not familiar with its command line.

Those are some steps to do and the proper ones for being behind a router. I certainly understand all ISP's are different and some of them issue router+modems bundled and sometimes it'll just require a quick restart of the router and you won't need to change the ghost mac address, but majority of routers do require it.

Try those steps and see what your outcome is or let me know some more information and I'll be able to help you out a bit better.
