This thread has been linked to the game 'Red Alert 2'.
So I bought Red Alert 2.
Now some of you with a memory might remember how I bought the original at Christmas with the intention of networking it, only it couldn't be networked through windows.
Bitter disappointment, but I got over it. :-)
So I bought the newer, window friendly sequel.
And it's problem time again.
I guess that the fact that I'm using a Laptop with a wireless slot card, rather than the old IPX sort.
Anysway, the Network Options is asking for 3 things:
Network Card (Drop down menu with a single option - IPX not available)
Socket Number (Can this be applied to my Laptop's card and my PC's USB port?)
Destination Network (I'm guessing it wants the destination IP, but that didn't work)
So if anyone can help me great.
If not, never mind.
I mean, you sort of come to expect it after a while! :-D
