I had issues connecting to b.net myself tonight man. I think it was just a bad time to try it. You may have better luck tomorrow/later.
okay- no changes and now - it connected so it MUST have been Battlenet down now another key question MUST I HAVE Battlenet access to play a single player - campaign? If Battlenet is so intemittent .....I want to still play the game
Well yeah, you have to activate your prudct key to a battle.net account play single player. You have to log into battle.net at least once even to play in "guest mode." The installer takes you to a website that will help you activate your product key.
