Sounds like you don't have dialup networking installed. Just run Windows setup and install dialup networking and it'll probably work. You shouldn't need TCP or anything fancy like that unless you were gonna play across a lan.

Did you reboot afterwards? You have to reboot for something like that to take effect.

My advise, uninstall the game. Delete the old folders, reinstall the game, download a new Version of the latest patch. Patch it. Should work. I had this happen before and that fixed it.

Here is a dumb question....

Would it matter if windows is on one drive and se4 is on another????
