Sorry to ask a stupid question or two, but I've been trying and failing to set up an TCP/IP game. Me and my flatmate have a home network now and want to play a game of D2 but cant seem to make it work

I followed the manuals instrcutions, load up D2, create a server and then Alt-Tab and load up D2 again to connect

But it causes a massive slowdown on my PC and means the music becomes garbled and basically makes the whole thing unplayable.

I'm pretty sure there is an obvious answer to this one..

Cheers
