View Full Version : Surfing DiabloII.Net
Guys, I'm interested to know if DiabloII.net is blocked from people's works and colleges. If you could take part in the poll that would be a great help.
Many thanks

I can access the site at work without any problems.
Poll takes us here (http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=426658), by the way.
I can access it from my highschool, kinda. (ok so not really college or work but it is a school)
The firewall blocks it...but just a quick ip search and copy/paste gets me on.
EDIT: Nice 'tar SD :thumbsup:

Not blocked at school. Thank goodness.
Most of the stations where I work are only connected to a lan and they are still using dos.:laugh: There are two windows machines in the office, but their connection speed is like 2400 baud, so even if I could get to Diinet., I couldn't.:rolleyes:
Slightly OT, my wife is a library tech at a junior high school and she has this nifty little net-nanny that allows her to view every screen in the room. As you can imagine, she has to keep an eye on the student's activities on the net. While Diinet. isn't blocked, viewing is not allowing, no gaming or gaming sites are allowed, period. She has cut a Diinet. viewer a little bit of slack though. Rather than locking him out and issuing a warning, she walked over and told him
"While DiabloNet is fun, it's still not allowed here." (my wife's words now)
student, "But I wasn't on a forum." She told him "Yes, you were. My husband's on Diinet everyday and I sure the heck know what it looks like." The kid was nonplussed that she and I play Diablo and asked her what character she plays. He was more surprised when she told him she played a hardcore assassin. Don't you love how the kids think that *they* are the original gamers? LOL
I can use the sites both from work and at home, which is some sort of youth housing (or what you'd call it.) At home I connect over LAN which is also used by a local senior high school, and technical school....
Apparently we have no restrictions, except peer 2 peer programs.

Yes, I can access the site at work and I take full advantage of that on boring days :smiley:
Never had any problems ever.

I'm at work right now :grin:
Um, I could use it from my University but I'm not sure about my work. I don't think so but I've never really tried because I fear the temptation.
MENTAL NOTE: track down the person who decided it'd be cool to associate the verb "surf" with the internet and make him watch as I murder his family.
I'm only on this site when i'm at work but we are a small office with 3 computers with no restrictions connected via LAN so i don't know if that has any bearing...the only trouble i get (at work, my home comp is fine) is this computer has a Dell websearch thing and the front page loads then immediately dissapears to that search screen as Dell can't pick up the banners on the front page of dii.net so i just pull down the Address bar and click on the forums and it loads that page just fine...
Hope that helps!

Using the diabloii.net address I can't browse at work as message boards & gaming sites are blocked, but I circumnavigated that by using the IP address instead and now it's fine

Funny story Yogi.
Well, it's rather conclusive then most places don't have a problem with the url (plusa couple of circumenvent the restrictions - naughty tinkers).
Thanks for the input guys, it's helped an awful lot.
Can't from school, but that's because it blocks anything with "forums." or "forum."

Try this next time your at school.
Google "kloth"
It should come up with an ip address finder.
Type in dii.net's url and hit enter.
It will come up with the ip address of the servers here and you can copy paste that into the url box, hit enter and...
...unless your school as unusually good firewalls you should be brought here. :evil: :brainiac:
Enjoy and be ware of teachers or the like who might understand what you are doing.
P.S. I did a report on this and presented it to my class :evil:

Why in gods name can I write all letters capital in this (http://forums.diabloii.net/showpost.php?p=5810845&postcount=27) post even though I try it?
Really it just capitalizes the first letters of each word and goes undercap for all the rest after I press ok even though I wrote all full caps.
The forum has anti-tard functionality.
You can get around it by either having one lower case letter in your post or quoting someone. There may be other ways too.
I can access dii.net from work.
I can access at work, but they do block various sites. I wouldn't put it past them to block anything that gets lots of hits.

I can't use a computer at my new job, but at my old one I was able to, and I was able to access it at kollage to.
It was blocked in my high school's library computers. University...I don't think they care so much.
Interestingly, my old workplace blocked www.diabloii.net, but not forums.diabloii.net. And they were smart enough to prevent direct IP access.
An idea might be to mirror the forum at using some other innocuous domain name.
