Guest Madmatt Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 This is covered in the TCP How To guide that comes with the latest CM patch. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Xian Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 This may be off the mark but you cannot host a game by "Joining Multiplayer". You must "play" a scenario, and then in a later screen, select the game as a TCP/IP game. If you are trying to host a game and use "Join Multiplayer" and type in your own IP address, it will not find a game there, as you are not currently hosting one. Once you have selected your game as a TCP/IP game, the final screen you come to, where it waits for your opponent to connect, should give you your IP address. This would be the IP address to give to your opponent as long as it's not a LAN address from a local router or hub. If you need to, you can hit "escape" at this point to get to another application to send your IP address to your opponent, then reselect CM. You will still be at the screen waiting for the opponent to connect.
