Help- network problems

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm trying to play via network with another computer.

We are both connected to the same hub and we see ourselves both on windowsXP and the game itself.

However, i cannot join the other player and he cannot join me, there are error messages that appear when we try to join a game, i see that the other computer is ready and i cannot join it?!

How can we play the same map against each other?

The network works perfectly.

 

Thanks

I just wanted to add that the game says:

"Game has detected a mismatch..."

 

I tried to look for updates at the online section and it said that i cannot establish an online connection with the main site?!

Well you won't be able to connect to the internet unless your computers are connected to the internet and ICS is activated or you're using a router.

 

Both computers must have the same version of the game, that means the same patch and no mods installed (or the same mod installed).

OK, Please somebody help me here!

I have scowered the Internet looking for a solution to this issue.

I have 2 pc's hooked thru a router, (yes, they are connected and seeing each other) the ipx/spx protocols have been loaded, have 2 separate yuri games loaded, (2 different product codes), they have the same version on both, got them thru the network screen, selected a new game from one, but I cannot find any games listed in the lobby on the other. WHAT THE H3*&! could be the issue? :x

Planet CNC Tech Troopers has a good networking guide, that might be able to shed some light on the problem.

Through a router, eh? Just use WOL and make a secure game. I do that with StarCraft on my router and it works fine.
