Network problem, what have i not thought of????

[alex_the_one]

Hi all im new here!!

I installed the RA2 on 2 computers, patched them to 1.00006. installed ipx protocols on both comps with the following settings:

Frametype: Ethernet 802.3
INternal network number: 0000002 and 0000003 on other.
network number: 12345678

started ra2 on both comps, set the network hardware addresses the their proper values from my router. restarted the game.

Now in the lobby i see one of the comps, the other doesnt see me and neither of us can see each others games...

Both comps have one CD each. --> not cracked

Oh and their connected via a router, could that be the problem??

Any idea what i forgot, alternatively did wrong?

1. you forgot to be more specific about... everything

2. You normally should search the forums for the same problem you have before posting -smile-
this was two posts under yours http://forums.cncden.com/showthread.php?t=19177 Since you are new here these mistakes are acceptable but try not to do so again ok?

If you're running a network game, you SHOULD be on a router.
However, in order to play a network game, you need CD keys for EACH player... like online, you can't share keys.
