Anyone ever had a problem with their CD-Key being in use (by yourself) after being online for like, 5 days?

I went on vacation and left my bot running. I came back, and signed off, and now I can't log on.

Weird.

Edit: Oddly enough, rebooting my computer corrected the issue, which is rather odd, considering CD-Keys currently in use and such are on the Battle.net servers. Rebooting MY computer shouldn't have done shit.

Any ideas?

just wait like couple min, it happens mostly because you log off too quickly.

It actually persisted for 4 hours. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered posting? ;)

Happened again yesterday, but I rebooted and it fixed it.

Well, I'm pretty sure the error is due to you still having a stray connection or something to battle.net. It probably auto-resets it after about 5 minutes normally, but it probably doesn't all of the time. Restarting your computer would kill any connection you have with them.

The diablo 2 process was still active.

CTRL + ALT + DELETE and close all instances of: 'Diablo II.exe' and it will fix the problem, instead of rebooting

I checked, and had no running D2 processes. Unless it was using svchost or something.
