Also make sure nobody runs Diablo on Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003. All three experience UDP thread death, which Blizzard has never fixed despite having been informed of the problem many years ago. It took them over 2 years just to fix it in Starcraft, and their fix is really an incorrect workaround. UDP thread death will completely disable your multiplayer ingame support when it strikes. This means you fall from any game you're in, no one can join games you host, and you cannot join any new games. The only cure is to restart your UDP thread and hope that it doesn't die again.
