Your Warcraft II BNE uses version based on official patch from Warcraft 2 CD-ROM known as Patch 2.02
At the same time there is another version of the same patch 2.02: that version had been downloaded automatically when you first time joined Battle.net by fresh newly installed Warcraft II BNE (with no patches).
After that you had be able to join 4 Blizzard battle.net servers: Usa East, Usa West, Europe, Asia using both different 2.02 versions.
And that another version is still much more popular in the world!
But unfortunately, your server doesn't support that version: it says "update required", then trying to update, and update progress just hangs.
Please, add that another version to the list of allowed clients on your battle net server!
It's 100% compatibility in network gaming between these different 2.02 versions, but that one is much more pleasant for many old players!
You can know that version if look into the file properties: version of file is 2.0.2.0
And your version properties: 2.0.2.1.
Lots active War2 players would be very thankful to you for such small server reconfiguration!
I can send you several more additional technical information about that version or it's .exe-file if you need that.
