Ok, lets NOT post 300,00 new posts with just IP addresses

[Guest Madmatt]

Guys, we know you want to play but we would really prefer that you DON'T post a message looking for a IP game. Just use the chat system or Email or ICQ or anything put public posts. Its just a waste of forum space.

Thanks!

How do you find your own IP addy?

[GriffinCheng+]

If you have icq, you can find your ip from status screen.

If you don't, try using command "ipconfig /all" on Win95/98/NT

I suggest you people who are lucky to test TCP right now to CMHQ Annex or just ICQ/AIM/Yahoo/MSN Messagner.

Soldier,

If you have a mac you just go to: Control panels, then TCP/IP. Thats it.

Thanks you my Lord.

But since I use ADSL/PPPoE, the IP address is automaticaly shown on the "dailer" software.

what about a dedicated thread like the Cesspool?

we need a way to put out a general request for games i think

[Guest Madmatt]

Thanks Lord General MB for being such a positive ray of sunshine. I am sure its just user error as I see dozens of people in games right now on my Chat server.

Okay, wee will be opening a new TCP/IP Network Game Discussion Forum in just a few minutes.

Post IP addys for games in there!

I must apologize. Not to mention I feel rather...sheepish. My first post in months and it gets locked. Plus, the game crashed. One thing I did notice, it pays to be the host, additional setup time while waiting for the opponet to connect.

Also, for Win95 anyway, just click; start, run ,and type in winipcfg. IP address is labeled. (obviously make sure you're connected first.)

[Guest Madmatt]

Why are you guys all using Winipcfg to get your IP addresses? Is the game not showing it to you when you host?

Madmatt

[Prof Moriarty]

Uh, whoops. twice now I'm the idiot. Yes, that works too. In my defense I did find my IP before I launched the game, the excitement cancelled my higher brain functions. You should've seen my force selection in the crashed game...defintely the excitement.
