For some reason my internet works fine and i can go to any browser fine, but when i try to connect to diablo2 or wow, i can't get online with either of them it just sits at connecting....other times my video games will connect and do fine. Maybe some internet port becomes blocked? or i have a virus? has anyone ever heard of anything like this, please help
 
First thing to check is firewalls. Make sure that your games are on the allow list for any of you firewalls. If you have a dedicated firewall make sure windows firewall is off.
Also, has your games ever worked online or did it decide to not want to connect one day?
 
Yah, firewalls will block internet to progrrams that you have not confirmed "safe." Turn it off completely or go through settings and enable internet to be allowed to certain programs(ie games). Try that out.
 
portforward.com will give you step by step instructions on how to open ports for specific games and applications.
