do you have the ipx/spx network component installed?
are there any router options which require setting for ipx?

on your laptop:
right click network neighbourhood > properties
right click your (wireless) internet connection > properties
click install > protocol > add > NWLink ipx/spx/netbios... > install
click close

now try diablo again and see if you get any further!
