Try Modem, or IPX (Local Network Game). These two are "Join and Leave" type
games as Battle.Net is. So you play, and the computer waits for someone to
call, or join in. The Direct Cable, I had problems with also, I am guessing
this is because the computer is trying to talk out of the printer port, and
nothing is there.

Use the Local Network option, that way the computer won't answer the phone
for you.
