I’m trying to host a game on diablo, but my friend cannot connect to me. I can connect to his computer this way, but I wanted to quest one of my characters, and I don’t want to transfer characters between computers. If there are any ideas about the firewalls, I’ve tried as many things I could think of and anything would be helpful at this point. I even tried a private battle.net connection and he still couldn’t join.

If you have a firewall, you have to forward the game port to the internal IP address of the PC hosting the game. I forget what the port number is but if you google “diablo 2 port number” I’m sure you’ll find it.
Then, you start the game and call your friend and tell him to connect once you’re running in “host mode”.
