I would really like to play Co-op

[Jonny213]

I would really like to play this online feature, it's what made D2 such a great game.

Unfortunately, I am unable to find or host any games, if anyone could help assist me in this matter, I would love to allow me and my friends to join in the growing population of this game.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings Jonny213, welcome to the community!!

Okay, exactly what sequence do you go through to start a multiplayer game, and what errors or prompts are you seeing?

Also, an overview of the type of system you're using (hardware/software configuration), and the type of internet connection and version of the game (retail with no updates, update 1.[x]...) you're using would help immensely.

[Jonny213]

I am currently running version 1.11

I boot the game up normally, and go to the "Custom Quest" section.

I then click on "Join Multiplayer" and the lobby opens and says to hit refresh.

When I hit refresh no games show up.

I am not sure of EXACTLY all the things my computer has, but I'll spam out what DXDIAG says.
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT 256 MB / AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ 1.81 GHZ / 1 GB of RAM / And Windows XP: Home Edition

My internet is Cable, and is run to a few computers through a LinkSys Router.

do you have any software firewalls like norton,zonealarm etc? ive had problems in the past with firewalls blocking certain programs even when they are "unblocked"

[Jonny213]

No, I took all programs like that off for that exact reason.

I even turned off my Router's firewall, and it still won't work.

[Jonny213]

I have DirectX 9.0c as well, and I managed to see ONE game.

Is it possibly my router needs to be forwarded to a certain port?

Anything will be helpful, all 3 of my friends are waiting on me to being playing through the campaign together.

They got on and can see hundreds of games, and I can't see any but 1.

Still lost on what my problem is.

Only go to "Custom Quest" if you're running a custom map, no servers running the normal game will show up when you connect as a custom quest. Just start the game normally, you'll see the option to play single or multi

[Paradox]

oh right, i didnt notice he said he used custom quest.

the reason why there are no severs showing up there is because nobody will be running a custom quest game!

[Jonny213]

Omg...I'm a complete and total idiot.

Thanks for the simple hint...I just didn't realize what I was doing wrong.

I can actually play now.

Thanks guys, sorry to be an idiot

You are all too helpful.

Glad it worked, have fun
