How do you set up a tcp/ip game?
What I am trying to do is set up a tcp/ip game with the demo to play another friend. How is this done?
When I set up a server there is no option for me to join the game.
How can two people play direct tcp/ip?

Re: How do you set up a tcp/ip game?
Well, I think I need a step by step guide on how to do this.
I have tried creating a server and followed up by opening a 2nd game and trying to connect as a client . However it says that the server I am trying to connect to is down.

Look in the sticky thread Newbies and Confused People on this page. There's a detailed description of how to set up a server.

Re: How do you set up a tcp/ip game?
I have been following the instructions in that thread on how to set up a server. However when I open up a 2nd copy of the game and try to join as a player I am unable to connect and it says that the server is down.
I can't seem to be able to join as a player no matter what I try.

Hmmm are you sure its the right IP number and port? Do you maybe have a firewall running which might be blocking access to that port?

Re: How do you set up a tcp/ip game?
I am positive it is the correct IP & port #.
It is in fact behind a firewall but I have allowed access to that port and my opponent has no problem connecting to my server.
I also disable my firewall in an attempt to see if that was the problem and the problem persists.
FYI: I am able to host and play a DOM I game so I understand the concept. However something seems to be preventing me from hosting and playing a Dom 2 demo game.

I wonder if the protection has been "upgraded" here along with thing like the price and the turn-limit demo. Maybe the game no longer allows connection by the same IP? Of course using a proxy would get past that.

If that is in fact the case how can two people play the game tcp/ip? Would you need a third party to host and not participate in the game? I sure hope that is not the answer.

No that's not the problem. I've done it successfully. I'm not sure what blackwulf's problem is. |
