To Sord213 & others. There is absolutely no need in WOL components, if you are going to play via LAN, using LAN "patch". I guess it's something OS related. If you are using Win7 or Vista, try to disable Desktop Composition. Check game options, whether you & other players are using default 16 bit graphics. Check firewall settings. Put Hamachi & Dune2k in exception. Read my post. I already uploaded compiled PvPGN v.1.99 server some time ago. So, everyone who know little or nothing about networking & server hosting, may simply host it on virtual machine. Advanced IT users may host it on WinServer.
