Ahh,
I connect to the majourity of players on Ra2, but some I don’t. In particular one friend, sometimes we manage to play together, most of the time we cannot? Does anyone understand this?

Also, when my neighbour turns his modem on I use his connection and me and my friend connect fine.. I’m confused ):

P.S – His ping is normally in the 40′s when he’s in my game.

YOU ARE THE MAN
thanks alot man, it really worked and every thing went better than i thought, i kept searching the net for the ipx protocol files for win 7 64bit but they all didnt work… and finally i found you…
the only thing that differs than what you said is that my network card was already set to 0 so i didnt do any thing ….
ists now working fine and thanks again for making us remember the good old days………..

It might be worth trying disabling all other network cards in your PC and in Network Connection Properties, disable IPv6.

Other than that, check all firewalls and make sure you’re both running the same version (you can copy the Red Alert 2 directory between computers). I think there might be incompatibilities between the original version and the one in the Decade pack.

This is SOOO SWEEEEETTTT.
I have been getting my boys into some of the games I used to play.

Now they are addicted to.

This works with Vista and XP without any catches.
I only had to make sure the NIC was set to 0.

Thanks SO MUCH.

Hi, Thanks for all the help. I’ve been trying to get RA2 lan working on Vista. I’ve tried changing the NetCard setting a number of times but doesn’t seem to work. According to you post above, one setting SHOULD work. I was wondering how much further I need to test it, and what this setting actually means. When I go to the Options menu and then Network, it reads Network Card: 00 00 00 00 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 and the socket number and destination network fields are empty. Is that normal? I have got vista home sp1. Does that make a difference? Is there any other setting that affects it?

Thanks

jeffrey: If it doesn’t work, change the NetCard setting to 1 and try again. One number SHOULD work.

Recep Gizer: I’ve tried Vista to Vista and it worked. I don’t think I tried XP to Vista so that could be the problem. I know Red Alert 2 had issues before with 32bit XP trying to play again 64bit XP so it could be a similar issue.
