battle.net issues

[zfear]

hey guys me and my mates wanted to have a flash back and play some diablo 1 together. We have all updated and can connect to battle.net. In the channel we all list 2 green bars but as soon as one of us creates a game and we try to connect it says " cannot connect latencey to user is to high" this also happens when i try to connect to games created by other users which are not my friends games. all my mates live in melbourne australia and are using the US west portal.

Any help would be great

thanx
