Okay, so I basically just built myself a new computer and put a fresh copy of Vista onto it instead of XP which is what I had before on my old computer.

Yesterday I reinstalled Diablo II and Lord of Destruction as well as upgrading to the latest patch. Last night I got onto my account in USEast for a good hour or two.

However, when I click the Battle.Net button I get the following message:

UNABLE TO CONNECT

UNABLE TO CONNECT TO BATTLE.NET

If using a modem, you may need to contact your internet service provider before connecting to Battle.Net. For more information please visit www.Battle.net/support/errormessages/


What gives? I connected fine last night. :'( I never had this problem before when I use to play.

Also I'm on a Cable modem connection :P

Hi, Blade1990,

Your connection has been temporarily restricted from Battle.net. This restriction is realm-specific and can last up to 2 weeks.

It can happen for any of the following reasons:
- Using an invalid CD key
- Rapidly connecting and disconnecting to Battle.net
- Creating or joining numerous games within a short time period such as "Magic finding" or "Baal runs"
- By the use of "add-on programs"
- Chat channel abuse
- Failed login attempts
- In game latency caused by excessive spell effects

We are unable to lift these restrictions early or tell exactly why the restriction was placed on your connection.
