There use to be a way...
How you could exploit LAN to get into B.net ages back
But it don't work no-more... lol (uses for piratecopies ages back lmao)
However, they MUST ADD a manual connection gametype, IPX/TCP Connection type, otherwise Multiplayer would never work, every game i know at least has a manual IPX connect or that... even some modern games do! I think Team Fortress 2 does i can't remember, but still... If Blizzards gonna do that, anyone who plays *coughcoughWoWcoughcoughfailscoughcough* will expect a higher sub price in the next few years whilst they are recovering from losses from SC2 or Starcraft ///|3D|\\\
