I was able to play dune2k perfectly with the tcp/ip patch last week, then I was configuring a different game to work and now dune doesn't work. I can't recall changing any system files are anything important, I think all I did was do some port-forwarding. Anyway, now when I try to run dune instead of the ip address select box popping up nothing happens. *Update* I did a little looking around, I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with Directplay and it's registries. I probably messed with them a bit when I was configuring other games that also use it. mechcommander gold, and crimson skies.
