Nick Carter Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 When playing CM over my (lan) home network, the hosting computer always dials up the internet before allowing the first setup data download to the other computer. I then alt-tab to desktop and disconnect and the game runs fine after that, but it is annoying. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 What OS are you using ? Do you have Internet sharing via your LAN to other computers ? Is your Internet access via dialup modem ? I think I've heard of this problem before, but I can't recall the solution. What are your settings for the TCP/IP protocol for your network card (gateway, DNS, IP Address, etc.) ? What are the settings for your dialup connection (they typically should be 'automatically' assigned for most dialup connections). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Carter Posted January 3, 2002 Author Share Posted January 3, 2002 I figured out a fix - I am running Win 98, and there is a checkbox in the dialup properties that says something like "do not connect if network connection present" when checked the behaviour goes away. Thanks for the leads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
