Installing and Playing DS2 with Original Disc's & MP/Internet

Hello everybody! I'm new user here in SiegeTheDay... I hope that some of you can help me. By helping me, for sure you'll be helping others...

Let's straight to the point. I'm trying to make DS2 Multiplayer/Internet (not network!) works without any third applications (gameranger, hamachi, etc). Yes, I think it's possible! I made it with DS_LOA with my friends...

However, for some Reason, with DS2 (patched to v2.2) when I open the game, click on Multiplayer, then Internet... I always receive a message saying "Unable to connect". It's not a firewall problem or a Windows Incompatibility... I've already tested in XP, 7 and 10. My game isn't original... =/

The only possible explanation it's about to use Original Disks for installation and maybe playing. So... here it goes my asking...

Please, could anyone here install the Game DS2 (Only) using original disc's, patch the game to v2.2, keep using the disc's and open the game, and go to Multiplayer/Internet (not Network) and test if you can open the Room?

I would be very grateful.

Actually I can not get DS1, DSLoA, DS2 or Broken world to connect to internet for a multiplayer game. The disks I used for all the games are original and patched to the correct level. My firewalls allow access to all the games as well. I am using windows 7 professional. I currently do not have a working windows 10 computer since the last one crashed. I have more dead computers around my house than working ones. Elf

Thanks for leave your message. But hey... You can, for sure, to make DS_LoA works without any third apps like Gameranger, hamachi, etc. I did it only using The Game naturaly and doing some easy tricks in my router. If you want, somehow I can prove you and even teach you. Last week I was playing with my friends. Each one in their houses. It was very funny!

For DS2 it should be working too! However, the problem is that I can't even follow the same steps that I follow for DS_LoA, I mean... Open the game, click on Multiplayer, the Internet option. Immediately I receive a message: "unable to connect".

Dude, seriously, I did everything that I could using an ISO (Reloaded release) found over internet. It's not about firewall, it's not about windows versions (XP, 7 or 10). So far, there's only two explanations:

1. Not Original Game, cuz I can't even open MP/Internet Room. Btw, executing "dxdiag", I observed that DS2.icd file is missing and I think this is relacioned with original discs.
2. MP/Internet option it also depends of GameSpy servers, which I don't believe! LAN and Internet mode it depends only of DirectPlay 8 Server, Just like DS_LOA.

The big Problem is that I haven't any copy of Original stuffs of DS2. So... I'm not asking for anyone to try to create a server. I'm just asking if with original stuffs at least it's possible to create the Room (MP/Internet option). This should be possible.

Thanks bro!

Alright... let's see what it happens.
