Messed up bnet

[lurkerinshadow]

When i try to log on to bnet, it stays at querying gateway and never gets past that. it sometimes gets past it, but then an error message says, well i dont really remember what it says. if i get far enough to c it again, ill post it. if ne one can help me, then plz do.

I have Windows ME (probably the problem), Pentium 3, a dell dimension 4100

I used to be able to log onto bnet, but i havnt played in a while, and i just reinstalled it recently. someone help me.

Are you using a legitimate copy of StarCraft?

Are you behind a firewall/router?

The newbie just shot down sword tip.

gg k thx gtfo

You said you're behind a firewall, but you didn't mention whether you're on a router as well.

When I put my laptop on a wireless router when I moved to my apartment, I found I can't host games on SC anymore because of it. If you're on a router, it's possible the security settings on it (which are seperate from your firewall), could be limiting your gameplay.

Could you describe your entire hookup?

Example for Cable: Cable into cable modem/into router/into computer (wireless, or through Cat5e cable)

--EDIT--

Also, nice to see you know about the 'Edit' button. Most people around here feel it necissary to post twice.

You da man!

It depends on your router cause I have a router and everything works fine. If you have a router I will check it out for you. Maybe some settings specfic for games?
