Im new in ths server...

1.Do I need to install Diablo II with my disc?
You can although use images of your discs but only from a legit version of Diablo2
2.Is the server works on expansion set?
ChaosEmpire is a Modification for D2 Lord of Destruction without it, it wont work.
3.If I want to play the game I have to put an IP? If yes whats the IP?
No after the Installation you have some new realms to choose otherwise you can manually add these realms with the cerealm.reg file from the download section

Im new in ths server...
And I got some qustion:
1.Do I need to install Diablo II with my disc?

If you have Diablo II LOD already installed on your system, you can use that installation and put CE on it.  The "ChaosEmpire.exe" program switches back and forth between the Mod, and the Battle.Net (standard) D2LOD.
Please note that you CAN mount an image of your LoD disk using blindwrite/DaemonTools, or alcohol 120%, but you CANNOT use any other loaders or mods (like MapHack, pickit, etc) since they BOTH MODIFY the D2LOD files which must be UNmodified for CE to work.

2.Is the server works on expansion set?

Yes, the CE Mod requires the Lord of Destruction expansion.

3.If I want to play the game I have to put an IP? If yes whats the IP?

There are 6 ways to play, 3 for "vanilla" D2LOD, 3 others for the Chaos Empire mod:
1: log into battle.net and play with the rest of the community
2: play on your own machine at home
3: Be a host of a shared at-home game, or join a shared at-home game
(options 4, 5, & 6 are the same as 1, 2, & 3, if played with the Mod activated)
Only in option 3 (or 6) do you need to put in an IP, and then only if you're joining (rather than hosting) the shared at-home game.

Thanx for the helpers..

I hope to play soon ^^
Answers in BLUE because blue is cool.  We've played so long we've forgotten something, for sure, so when you hit any snags, post again!
