It is possible to play without battlenet if you use a LAN or a modem connection.
There is always the possibility of playing on a server that is not affiliated with b-net.
If you are looking for a solution that will guarantee that the game you are in can't crash, that however is impossible if you ask me.
Every game is run on pc's, therefor there are always things that can go wrong.
However it looks like there was something outside the ordinary going on there with you guys.
I never experienced the actual thing you are referring too.
I guess it has to do with cheaters trying to get into your game or something in that style.
btw do not think that because you password a game no one can enter it.
one could guess your password. something like iron//man or things in that style are not hard to guess. I suggest you use icky passwords hdslqiqfjzfbg or something like that.
There are however programs available that bypass passwords or simply read passwords.
SO if you are chased by people that have those ... well er... I dunno what you can do about those.
What you can do is try another gateway to play on.
e.g. you get bugged on USwest, go play asia or europe or US east
