I tried this, and it happened to work. Not exactly sure what was accomplished, but I was able to log as per normal, where as when I'd click my desktop icon I would get a frozen screen before I could even type the first letter of my account name.

I right click'd my sc2 icon on my desktop, "locate file location"..

Scroll down to the folder labeled "support"...

In this folder there is an executable sc2 file labeled "sc2 switcher"...

I ran this file and was able to log in no problems.

edit: sorry had this post on my internet tabs from earlier, didn't see so many posts had been made in such little time.

The best way to use the workaround is by using your ethernet cord. If you use your control panel/network settings to do it it will be too slow.

Again in detail:
1. Disconnect your ethernet cord.
2. Start up starcraft, hit ' ok at the prompt '
3. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING until your ethernet is back in and wait around 5 seconds for your internet connection to get back to working.
4. Now type in your password and connect.

Did WoW ever have retarded problems like this in its first couple months?

It seems so backwards to force people to login to B.net to play, when the service has so many interruptions as this. Horrible.

Although there weren't client crash on login issues, Tuesday maintenance used to last about twelve hours every week. Patch days would usually have the server down longer than that and then you'd experience constant server crashing over the next few hours.

Just recently, there was a bug in game that when you moused over certain objects, your client would crash. It took them two weeks to fix it.

From reading the above, this sounds like an issue with a cached IP address.

I'd be interested to know if the same effect could be achieved by:

1) Windows key + R

2) Type CMD in the dialogue box.

3) At the command prompt (the black box of oldskool that appears) type: ipconfig /release

4) In the same black box, type ipconfig /renew

Thanks for any responses in advance.

Workaround worked. I was able to login after starting with the ethernet cable unplugged.
As a finishing touch, God created online forums to help me out when I'm in trouble :D
