Fix it

How to fix error LC-208

  1. Make sure your linked Battle.net account has a BattleTag.

  2. Check your firewall, router and port settings.

  3. Turn your modem and router off and on again.

  4. Run your console's built-in connection test.

  5. As a last step, unlink and relink Battle.net, but know the console may block relinking for up to 365 days.
