I am trying to make 2 computers in my room play on the same server in Diablo 1, i have a modem (Linksys or whatever) Apparently my problem is that diablo requires each person to have their own IP address to be on the same server, i have been tinkering around changing IP addresses and installing ITX and Protocols or whatever, but nothing is working, how can i figure out what numbers to put in the "IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway" located in the properties of Internet Protocol? Please help me, this is absolutely frustrating =(

Dear Leo,

I need your help and advise, Firstly, I call my ISP provider in order to get static IP address so they told I have to pay extra fee every month. Secondly, is there anyway I can get static IP address for fee?

I would be very happy if you could help me please,

It's totally up to the ISP - if they charge for it (most do since it is extra work for them), then there's no way to get it without paying.

hlo.

my connection is dial up. can i change it to static ip? thx

Probably not, but you'll have to check with your ISP.

Yes, is there any static ip adresses i can just type in ?

Nope. It must be assigned by your ISP (for direct internet connections) or you must carefully configure your local network to support it. It's not just something you type in.
