very strange problem involving TCP/IP multiplayer.

[freykin]

Hi everyone, I'm having a very weird problem while trying to play a game of this using TCP/IP. When I follow the steps listed in the manual for hosting, and click on begin game, instead of taking me to the TCP/IP host screen, it generates the game and says it's now saved it to a .gam file which I should distribute to my players, and then closes out of Space Empires 4. I've gone over it multiple times, making sure I've selected simultaneous turns, different machines, and TCP/IP host, to no avail. I even tried reinstalling and running it again (I've been toying with a lot of mods, so thought maybe somehow one of those messed things up), but that didn't help either. Any ideas of what might be causing this problem?
