I'm sorry that I can't solve your problem for you, but I haven't tried to join a Battle.net game in some time (back when I was still cutting my teeth on Linux). I never could get connected because it just couldn't do the masquerading properly. I haven't tried yet, since moving on up to FreeBSD 4.4 with ipfw and natd (just basic translation), mostly because I just didn't know what ports I had to translate back to the Winbox. I'm very interested in the configuration that allows you to connect to and play external games without any such problems; care to share the details?
