unable to connect

unable to connect to battle.net

I do not understand why i am unable to connect to any of the realms but when i run diablo 2 as administrator, it allows me to connect to only one realm and that is the europe realm....please somebody help me figure out what is the problem??

I agree that the error you're receiving would indicate a temporary restriction (I'm showing restrictions on USEast & USWest), but your trace route shows something much more crucial to this. You're getting packet loss on every single hop, and that's just not good.

I would start by powercycling the network you're using. Unplug everything and let it sit unpowered for 3-5 minutes. Then, power it up the same way the signal comes into the house. Modem -> Router -> Computer. Don't start the next device until the last one has completely started up.

If that doesn't clear up the packet loss, try flushing your DNS:

For XP:

1. Click Start, then Run.
2. Type in CMD
3. When the command prompt comes up type in the following in succession, all without the quotes:

"ipconfig /release" press Return
"ipconfig /renew" press Return
"ipconfig /flushdns" press Return

4. Close the DOS window and try WoW.

For Vista:

1. Click Start, then Run.
2. Type in CMD. When you see the command prompt come up, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator."
3. When the window comes up, type in the following in succession, all without the quotes:

"ipconfig /release" press Return
"ipconfig /renew" press Return
"ipconfig /flushdns" press Return

4. Close the DOS window and try WoW.

If you're still unable to connect to either Asia or Europe, post me another trace, please. Thanks!

The IP address you're posting from was recently used to violate the Battle.net Terms of Use Agreement - http://www.battle.net/tou.shtml. The most common cause for this is connecting to Battle.net with an illegal CD-Key, followed by spamming the chat channels, use of flood or load bots, harassing another user, and/or the use of a third party program(s).

The IP address has warranted a lengthy restriction and will not be able to access Battle.net (Northrend) for another 2 weeks and Lordaeron for 3 days.

Billythedummy ,

It's back on a 2 week restriction again. Either you or someone sharing your IP address is breaking the rules somewhere. To be restricted that quickly would suggest someone is connecting from a computer that used an illegal cd-key to install one the games.
