The BattleNet Diagnostic Tool is an extensive troubleshooting utility designed specifically for Blizzard gamers who are
experiencing technical difficulties.
The application enables you to perform various diagnostic tests which can precisely identify the cause for the problems you
may be having, and also assist you in resolving them; so you can get back to gaming ASAP.
This is accomplished by simulating the conditions which trigger your problem, then diagnosing the activity which lead to the
error arising. Providing you with detailed information of the issue you're having, along with possible resolution(s) to your
problem based on this information.
BattleNet Diagnostic Tool will also compile a log of all your diagnosises, along with relevent information, which you can post
on the Battle.net Technical Support Forum if you're unable to resolve the problem yourself.
Unlike it's blatently ugly predecessors, Bnet Diagnostic Tool v3.0 sports a brand new user interface which makes for ease-of-use
and eliminates the possibility of typographical errors. Additionally, several new features have been added which expand the scope
of the application's error detection range, and overall functionality immensely. Below summarizes the application's features.
Ø User-friendly interface.
Ø Diagnosis of Battle.net connection issues.
Ø Diagnosis of Battle.net game hosting issues (Warcraft III)
Ø Diagnosis of Staracraft UDP problems.
Ø Diagnosis of CD-reading issues.
Ø Diagnosis of closed game network issues.
Ø Real-time Battle.net server status information.
Ø Discovery of networked computers.

The BattleNet Diagnostic Tool is currently in it's initial beta stages, which means there's very minimal functionality.
Before I can continue development on the application, I need to test the application's underlying framework on various Window's platforms.
Your participation in beta testing is very much appreciated and will lead to an earlier final release date.
The application is intended to run on any Windows platform after Windows NT 4.0, therefor, if you wish to beta test the application you must
have one of the following Window's platforms:
Windows NT 4.0
Windows 95
Windows 98/SE
Windows ME
Windows 2000
Windows XP SP1
Windows XP SP2, or
Windows Vista
Once you have run the application (BnetDiagTool.exe), a log will be generated entitled "Log_BETA.txt", please forward the contents of this
log to me, along with any error details that you may receive. Thanks.
