Two Issues...

[Stompwampa]

I had to re-install D2, but now it won't update with the patch. When I log on to B.net, it downloads the patch, and then it says "Patch Failed..." and says I should reinstall the game.
I reinstalled, got the same error. I reinstalled again.
Now, when I got 99% of the patch downloaded, it says "You Have Been Disconnected from Battle.net. Please Reconnect."
I can't even get to the patch update screen now...it just tells me I've been Disconnected as soon as I click on the Battle.net button.

I tried to download the patch from Blizzard.com, but that doesn't seem to do anything either. It's just a 2k file that opens up the CMD prompt and sits there with a blinking cursor.

Any ideas?

Hmm, try to download the patch from http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2exp/patches/pc/

Also, you're installing classic, then expansion, without any patching inbetween right?

Correct.

EDIT: That patch worked out great...I'm not sure why the direct download from Blizzard.com didn't work. I also go onto B.net too. Now I'm curious why it wouldn't let me on without the patch, but naturally, I can't get the patch without getting on...catch 22...
