(The battle.net server is the only way I can find to make Warcraft II to use TCP/IP, as Vista x64 doesn't support IPX) If said battle.net server was running, this also opens the possibility to have a Diablo II ladder. Thoughts? Yay? Nay? -------------------- TRON MAN SAYS: Using proper spelling and grammar makes you look smart. USE THEM! =D Important information regarding your abuse of the English language

If you have XP x86 this is fine (Hell, even Vista x86 can be coersed in to using IPX if you give it XP's IPX drivers). The only way I could find to make Warcraft II to use TCP/IP (which is a requirement if you use Vista x64) is to set up a psuedo battle.net server. And diablo II does do TCP over LAN, so it will just work. But you can run a ladder or what not with Diablo II if you use a Battle.Net server (seemed quite popular at the last LAN I ran). -------------------- TRON MAN SAYS: Using proper spelling and grammar makes you look smart.
