You got a firewall with ur dsl service
3 things you gotta do
1)
Go to control panel
Network connections
Right click LAC (Local Area Connection)
Click on the Advanced Tab
Make sure that crap isnt on
2)
Go to your virus checker
Disable it or view how to disable the firewall it gives (there is a way, if you cant figure out jus dont load it with d2)
3)
Go to your router setup its probably internet address: 192.168.1.1 is the usual for your LOCAL network (meaning ur computers connected etc)
Enter ADMIN as the password, thats pretty much the default, seeing as how u just got ur LAN setup, im betting that pw should work
Click on Advanced tab
Click on Forwarding tab
On the left for the name jus type something like Diablo 2
For the EXT ports put in 6112 to 6112 and on the next line repeat but put in 4000 to 4000, also its Protocol TCP, so chk that box for both entries and put in ur ip address.
Hit Apply
Restart machine
Load D2
Let me know
