%-> Are you trying to play a "Realm" game, or an "Open" game? In either
%-> case, Diablo 2 works fine for me without any special configuration on
%-> the M11. Realm games use TCP to connect to a server while Open games use
%-> peer-to-peer UDP. Their UDP protocol is NAT compilant, however as with
%-> "Starcraft" you can only have one client running at a time behind the
%-> M11. With a realm game however, you can have as many simultanious
%-> players on your LAN as your bandwidth and bank account will permit ;-)

Thanks - I'm trying to play what they call a TCP/IP game. The Blizzard site
says to open TCP/4000 for incoming and outgoing connections, but I can't
seem to do that.

Will try opening up UDP as well, although the site says TCP should be
enough.
