maybe a stupid question?

Heya everyone,

Have been a single player for a while now and enjoy this newsgroup a lott,
learned a lott off you posters here.
Recently trying multiplayer, but keep getting bad connections, can't pick up
(or slowly) items, keep dissappearing and returning a distance back,
sometimes half of my field is black.
Is this because my internet connection is 2 slow? 1,6 Mbps
or is there an other reason?

thanks for learning me how to enjoy d2.

Are you playing multiplayer as in TCP/IP games, Open Battlenet or
Closed Battlenet? If on Closed, which realm did you choose?

As keith said, 56k is usually enough.
