Hi Ooryl

The westwood updater sometimes doesnt work, It doesnt work for me either, go to westwoods website (now EA) and download the patch from there, make sure you download the correct one for your country, then go straight here

http://renchat2.westwood.com/cgi-bin/cgiclient?live_ren_register&request=expand_template&Template=newreg_menu.html

and register a new nic name, when you open dune2k and klick multiplayer it takes between 20 to 30 seconds to connect, so be patient.

P.S. take a look and the dune2k board, on internet connection, for other help.

Hi Ooryl

You can wait all week and you wont recieve a message from westwood, I've been waiting three years for mine, and its still not arrived, once you have registered your nic, which you have, it will work, theres no need to wait for westwood to e-mail you , cos they never will.

Oh well i thought i had already installed that i had downlaoded it and in game it said it was 1.06 and i thought there was a diff one from westwood my bad, so i installed it again properly this time but... you guessed it another prob  ;D bet you love me now, ok i installed it correctly and i connected and it said that my connection to westwood failed check my ISP connection, any thoughts?

[shygirl4]

turn your firewall off, close ICQ MSM and YAHOO, close all background programs, and use a genuine cd, not a downloadable copy, and try again.

p.s. are you on a network ?

::)

[Ooryl]

K, my fire wall is off and i'll try it again thnx.

[shygirl4]
