It's probably simpler than you think.
To play multiplayer Diablo, you need TWO CDs.
It's not like War2, where you can play the full game with only one.

Because the game's so massive, the spawned installation can handle the 
first two levels only. You should be able to play the first two levels 
multiplayer, but ensure that you both choose the Spawn Diablo option.
You can't connect a full-version Diablo with a spawned Diablo.
