Missing weapons in a D2 UDP/IP Game

I was playing D2 with the D2X-W32 version. It was a one on one deal and my opponent most of the time couldn't see or retrieve the weapons on a spew when I died. I could see everything however. I was hosting the game. Does anyone know how to fix it? Is it just a bug in the patch? Who can I report it to? and last of all, what is the best way to do multiplayer D2 if you are having a small (6-7 people) over to play?

If you find a bug, submit a bug report in the bug thread in the Old School forum.

Anyways, what you're talking about is just a side-effect of lag on your opponent's end. I've seen this happen a few times when someone with a pretty lossy connection plays. Theres nothing you can really do about it since its not an issue on your end.

would lag be the issue when we were playing behind the same router and a high speed connection?

After more investigation, I found out that it's the same computer that has the problem no matter which one of the two hosts the game.
I also found out that when I die, sometimes my weapons respawn where I respawn like the spew came with me. I don't have a third computer to check more on this, but I did record a demo if anyone wants to see it.
