I use an iMac. The retail product is not for me. But I will purchase the product and give it to someone who can use it. Why? I have gotten such pleasure from both CM's, that this would be my way of thanking the creators. I wish to also emphasize that I want CMAK and future games to be playable on the Apple operating systems. Old Sven

I am not an expert on routers but I did solve the problem of hosting a game from a Linksys router via cable. This is the process that I have shared with my friends: TCP/IP Setup of Linksys Router on RoadRunner Cable for Hosting 1. open your web browser and enter "http://192.168.1.1 in the browser's Address box. ENTER 2. type "admin" in the Password box. OK 3. select the Status tab. 4. make note of the LAN Address and the WAN Address. 5. select the Advanced tab. 6. select the Forwarding tab. 7. type "7023" into the top of left column "Server Port" box. 8. type the last set of numbers of the LAN address into the top of right column "IP Address" box. 9. click APPLY button to save the settings. 10. exit the router and web browser, startup COMBAT MISSION 11. when you setup the TCP/IP game, ignore the IP address given by the game. 12. inform your opponent who is going to connect to of the WAN Address which is your address. 13. when his computer finds your computer via WAN Address, his game messages are forwarded. 14. IGNORE DMZ!!! it doesn't work with this router (at least with CM). 15. This works for my opponent who uses WIN and I am MAC. No compatability problems. 16. Final suggestion: we should all send more money to Big Time for this great game. Old Sven
