East & West Servers Not Connecting

[Reptilian]

Hey guys, I recently got a new computer and installed Warcraft III and all that, and after some brief little hiccups I thought I had worked all the kinks out of it and now I can't connect to US-East and US-West, Although I can connect to Asia and Europe, but I don't want to be on there.

When I try to connect to East or West I get the error message instantly saying "Unable to connect to Battle.Net" "You may be trying to connect to an invalid battle.net server. If you are using a modem you may need to connect to the internet manually before connecting to battle.net.

Would it be something to do with the fact that now I'm running Vista instead of XP? I can't see why that would occur though since it works on Asia and Europe but not East or West.

If anyone knows what I can do to fix this problem or if anyone has encountered it and fixed it please tell me, I can't read foreign languages and all my friends are on East.

Thanks, Reptilian

You've been banned for some reason

Well I think I figured it out, this might take a while to explain.

On my old computer I used a friends ROC CD to install WC3 on my computer, so I don't have that CD because once I installed it I had bought TFT and just used that disc.

I just bought a new computer and have since lost contact with that friend and I wasn't about to call him up just to ask for his ROC disc.

So my girlfriend had a burnt version that didn't have a CD Key but it had a Razor KeyGen, which I didn't realise doesn't work on Battle.Net, and I only tried connect to East and West and not Asia and Europe.

So if my calculations and logic are correct, my IP Address has been banned from joining East and West because I used a fake CD Key generated by a KeyGen that only makes WC3 work for campaign and such.

I went out and bought ROC today (fucking expensive $69.95 AU) and installed that, so obviously the CD Key works since now that I have tried connecting to Europe and Asia and they work but East and West don't.

Well now that I think that I have solved this issue, one thing remains... How bloody long am I gonna be banned I'm so sick of foreign languages!!!

Anyone know? Reptilian.
