DiabloII and Firewall

[Curio]

Trying to get DiabloII working on a 2 PC network. The only way I can get it to work is to turn off Windows Firewall completely on the host machine. I set up DII as an exception in the firewall settings, so it should work no probs....it just doesn't I don't really want to have to switch the firewall on/off every time I play - any other ideas?

Please don't suggest another firewall - I'm sticking with the Windows one for reasons I won't go into

LOL - tried one last Google and found the answer

You have to add Battlenet to the exceptions as well as the DII exe. Now works fine with the firewall.

Thanks for all your help anyway
