I finally was drawn into OS X and bought one of those nifty Mac Minis
(which runs OS X quite well). I installed Diablo 2 and LOD using the OS
X installer (and the full install option so there would be no disc
swapping).
It runs well (very fast with all audio-visual bells and whistles
enabled) but it won't connect to Battle.net.
Since you're the only person in this group that I know of with OS X
experience, I thought I'd pick your goaty brain for free advice.
First of all, a few times, I've gotten a message which says the CD key
I've used isn't valid for B.net use. This is a crock as it's the key I
used on my old OS 9 Mac and played on B.net with for years. I'm guessing
this is an OS X glitch or an erroneous message.
Most times, I simply get a message which says that I'm unable to connect
to B.net and should be sure to check my modem to make sure I'm
connected. However, I am connected. I can get e-mail and browse the web.
I DMZ'ed the computer so all ports would be open but that brought no
joy. I also disabled the modem port and moved it to the bottom of the
connection priority list in the network settings (figuring the game was
looking at the list and checking the first connection setting or some
stupid thing like that).
None of this fiddling produced a positive result. Any advice?
