Let's face it, most people won't be able to connect to Diablo 1 Battle.net servers anyway, due to the topology of their network or other issues.

In which case using the IPX wrapper (supplied with the GOG version of the game) paired with Hamachi (separate download) is the way to go.

But using Hamachi poses another problem: finding players willing to play, namely finding existing Hamachi networks.

This is why I propose the following network naming scheme for GOG Diablo 1 Hamachi networks:

Hamachi network name: gog_diablo_x where x is a number starting with 1
Password: diablo

Once a network is full and more players are unable to join, a user needs to create another Hamachi network increasing the said number by one (gog_diablo_1, gog_diablo_2, ... etc.).

Anyone wants to play using this method? Feel free to join.

First network is already there: gog_diablo_1 (password: diablo).

I need to download Hamichi, use IT is legal?
I Will try when I be in my home, I Like your idea cuz as you said , a lot of ppl couldn't play using Battle.net

Hamachi is free and legal to use.

Good idea.

Hi guys, i dont remember how to use Hamichi, can someone help me to explain the steps to play with someone of you using it?

Edit: Done , i use google to find how to use

Hi,
i am in gog_diablo_4 :), there we are 2 players

Hey, installed Hamachi and everything - had it all set up good to go and yet, there is no "other multiplayer" selection under multiplayer in the diablo game - How am I able to join other games sense this is not the case?

you use GOG version of the game and join hamachi srv with ppl, then u use Local Network (IPX)
