Good day! Back in 1995-1997 (I think), I used to watch an English Video Games TV show that would last around 30mins (Or less) and it was voiced by an English girl with a beautiful voice and nice humor. It was not Gamesmaster, as it was not presented by any people live on camera, only voiced as she presented the games and consoles, accompanied with nice background music. I mainly remember reviews of the SEGA Saturn, PSX, Panasonic 3DO, SNES & Mega Drive and their games. At the end of one episode, I remember her saying… “Well this is a girl that’s done her job for today, see you next time” If anyone could name the show and point me to some links on Youtube preferably, I would highly appreciate it! Thanks in advance

I don't quite understand. This message: "error with network", where exactly do you see it? In the Dune2000 lobby or in the hamachi window? This solution of hamachi, direct play patch & dune2000 is not 100%. There are quite a few of bugs and sometimes while you play online, the game might freeze or disconnect all together and an error message in windows XP will come up (Like the one you describe), but the only thing you can do about that is restart hamachi & dune and try again. As for the firewall, of course you must place exceptions for both hamachi & Dune2000 in order for it to work properly, or disable the firewall all together. Likewise if you have an SPI firewall in your modem / router, you should disable that also.

The reason you're not seeing LAN available is because you have not copied the patch in the right place. As described above, no you do not need to install IPX protocol in your lan card / network. All you need is to do is download and unpack in your dune 2000 game folder “c:\games\dune2000\“ (example) this file: "wsock32.dll" from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9043120/Dune2k%20Files.7z Once you do that you simply start dune2000.exe ...("Start Dune 2000") and then a window of the directplay UDPtoIPX patch will come up ("DirectPlay UDPtoIPX patch"), where you'll have to select your hamachi IP address "5.75.x.x...("select the network address to use:") Then follow the above steps I posted above.

I created a new network in case any one wants to join: Network ID: dune2011net pass: dune Also this one by Digit@l: Network ID: Dune 2000 IPX pass: 2000 P.S. Here are a few older Hamachi Networks for anyone that wants to try joining are: Network name: Dune-2k Networks Passw: dune Network name: dune2k-2008 Pass: 2008 Network name: Dune 2000 Server pass: Arrakis Network name: Dune2009 pass: Dune Network Name : volk-ss pass : 123 Network Name: Troy 1 Troy 2 Troy 3 etc... pass: 1234 Network Name: Dune2000Server Pass: dune Network Name: Dune 2000 Server 3 pass: dune Network Name: Dune 2000 Server 4 pass: dune Network Name: THE IX Pass: lolz Network ID: Dune 2000 TCP-IP pass: 2000

It seems that some people are having problems unpacking the DirectPlay UDPtoIPX patch in 7z file format... Here it is in RAR & ZIP format: Rar http://www.4shared.com/file/uvkRG9wr/Dune2k_Files.html Zip http://www.4shared.com/file/Ff-SCAxG/Dune2k_Files.html

OK, so I’ll sum things up. This is exactly what I did to get Dune 2000 multiplayer working on Windows XP & Hamachi (Vista & 7 will work just fine too!), without having to install IPX protocol in the Lan adapters and without having to open any ports or port-forwarding what so ever in the modem / router. 1. Install any version of Hamachi from here: http://filehippo.com/download_hamachi/ Join the following Networks where most people play on right now: Network Name: dune2011net pass: dune Network Name: Dune 2000 IPX pass: 2000 To organize your matches & chat with any one of the users, right click on the username and choose "chat..." Or to chat in the main network with all the users at the same time, right click on “dune2011net" (example) and choose "Open Chat Window" Please note that the later version of Hamachi (V2.0.3.89) don't have sound notification turned on by default when a new message arrives, so you should do the following in order to see messages from other users who are trying to invite you for a match. In the main Hamachi window go to: System > Preferences > Settings > Chat Settings: When new Message Arrives = Show the Chat Window Play a sound when new IM arrives = Yes 2. Download and unpack the files needed (DirectPlay UDPtoIPX patch) to bypass the need for the ancient IPX protocol from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9043120/Dune2k%20Files.7z Unpack and Copy them into your Dune 2000 game folder. WinXP users will only need to copy wsock32.dll. Win Vista & Win 7 users will have to put all the files into your Dune 2000 game folder & apply the respective .reg file accordingly with your Operating System. (Run WinVista&7 ipx x32.reg for Win Vista & Win 7 32bit) (Run WinVista&7 ipx x64.reg for Win Vista & Win 7 64bit) 3. Update Dune 2000 to version 1.06 (I use the (English – US) version and seems to work fine) from here: http://dune2k.com/Downloads/13 4. Re-prioritize your network adapter order in Windows. Hamachi adapter must be on top in Adapters & Bindings: WinXP: Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Advanced -> Advanced Settings -> Adapters and Bindings -> Move Hamachi up 1st on the list. WinVista: Start -> Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center -> Manage Network Connections - Adanced -> Advanced Settings -> Adapters and Bindings -> Move Hamachi up 1st on the list. Or... WinVista: Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet Connections -> Network Connections -> Manage network Connections -> Organize -> Menu -> Advanced -> Advanced Settings will give Network Adapters & Bindings Order Windows 7: Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center, then, on the left side panel, click on 'Change adapter settings'. Now press Alt, click on Advanced > Advanced Settings and put Hamachi at the top of the list. 5. Setup exceptions for Hamachi & Dune 2000 in Windows firewall & 3rd party firewalls. Or Disable Windows Firewall and any 3rd Party firewalls. Also, disable the SPI firewall in your modem / router. 6. Start Dune 2000 -> DirectPlay UDPtoIPX patch -> select the hamachi network IP address: Choose the IP corresponding to hamachi (The virtual IP 5.75.x.x, you see in the hamachi client / interface) and not your local lan card IP (192.168.x.x) 7. Once Dune 2000 starts -> Go to Multiplayer Game -> Lan -> Lobby... and join any existing match or create and host your own by pressing “New” (You should see the other players in the lobby) Please note the following!!: A few more things you should do to maximize the performance Uninstall IPX protocol from any of your Lan Adapters including from the virtual Hamachi adapter (If you had all ready installed it prior to this) and restart your PC. Don’t use ALT+TAB while playing Dune2k, it will lead to sensible lags for all players & later connection lose with that user. Also to reduce the in-game lags and slow downs you should do this: http://www.logmeinwiki.com/wiki/Hamachi:Ga...igh_ping_issues The same way should work for Tunngle too, however you’ll have to open port 11155 and port forward it to your local PC Lan IP 192.168.x.x in your Modem / Router. P.S. Here are a few older Hamachi Networks for anyone that wants to try joining are: Network name: Dune-2k Networks Passw: dune Network name: dune2k-2008 Pass: 2008 Network name: Dune 2000 Server pass: Arrakis Network name: Dune2009 pass: Dune Network Name : volk-ss pass : 123 Network Name: Troy 1 Troy 2 Troy 3 etc... pass: 1234 Network Name: Dune2000Server Pass: dune Network Name: Dune 2000 Server 3 pass: dune Network Name: Dune 2000 Server 4 pass: dune Network Name: THE IX Pass: lolz Network Name: dune-bagalx pass: dune For a whole lot more info on Dune multiplayer online gaming, you can find in the following site / forum: http://forum.dune2k.com And in this thread in specific: http://forum.dune2k.com/index.php?/topic/2...ltiplayer-game/ Also look through this guide about Hamachi gaming: http://www.logmeinwiki.com/wiki/Hamachi:Gaming & Tunngle Troubleshooting Thread if you have questions/troubles: http://www.tunngle.net/community/topic/884...-and-solutions/ So that was that! The spice must flow!

yes, I would love to play it. Let me know when you want

OK, so I have Windows XP, I installed Tunngle and joined the Dune 2000 Network and followed the 1st method by copying only the wsock32.dll file into the Dune 2000 (v1.06) game folder. As described here: http://forum.dune2k.com/index.php?/topic/21509-dune2k-the-ultimate-guide-to-multiplayer-game/ Both Tunngle & Dune 2000 are unblocked and placed in the Windows exceptions of the Windows Firewall. Do I also need to do any port forwarding (any specific ports) in my modem / router to make this work properly, or will the above steps suffice? Also, when I run Dune 2000 *.exe (8-bit) this message comes up: The 2nd IP is the local IP of my PC and the 1st, I do not know! So which one should I choose, or it does not matter? Also I don't see any people in the Tunngle Dune 2000 network to play with, so if anyone cares for a match, let me know! Thanks in advance

There is also a way to play using TCP/IP instead of the buggy IPX... http://forum.dune2k.com/index.php?topic=21074.0
