Getting a "connection interrupt" all the time... Since 1.11

Your firewall might be giving D2 the heave-ho 'cause the .exe's

You could search through this forum here, a lot of people seem to have some
kind of trouble since the patch:

Is it a software firewall on your PC, or is it something integrated into
your router?

As I don't remember your stance on cheats, what is it?

The first time I used the 1.11 patch I was getting connection
interrupted often (30-60 seconds)

I deleted my bncache.dat file and the problem hasn't returned.

Thanks, in the meantime I found this one also. Turns out that Tanivan's
hint did the trick though (remove bncache.dat).

Still thanks for helping.

I was fiercely anti-maphack and the like. These things annoyed me into
playing solo all the time.
