Where do you connect? At home? At a dorm? What networking equipment do you use?

do you have some kind of internet filter or parental block on? because when i first got the internet and had AOL i couldnt get onto Battle.net either and i had get unrestricted internet access by turning off the parental block.

i connect at home and well i did switch from a normal router to a wireless router BUT i do not use wireless i am still connected to the wireless router, it started after that, everything else was the same when i had the old router, but how would a new router mess me up? and i had firewalls on before when i had the old router and this didn't happen either

Is the wireless router an addition to the network or a replacement for the router you used to connect to?

Smells like a problem with your wireless. Check your connections, i doubt your even getting a signal, you probably got something installed wrong.

If your connected directly to the wireless router, then you should check the cables. What company makes the router? If it is belkin, I had the same problem with the internet (not exactly games) and had to get a new cable. If you have multiple USB/E-net ports, then make sure under, the internet properties, you have it connected to the correct port. It should say something like COMM1-COMM4 or however many ports you have. You also should check the COMM your game uses to connect to the internet (should be the same, but sometimes it ain't), you might have to change it! But, I ain't a computer whiz, so this advice comes from playing with different settings in demos and internet tabs.

it is a replacement of my old router because my dad wants wireless but i do not and it is netgear

Hmm, interesting. You can see if it is a firewall issue by turning on the Windows firewall for your internet connection from the connections list, then making yourself DMZ host in the router settings. If that works, then the issue is with the router's firewall settings, if it doesn't, then I couldn't say.
