you want to get rid of someting you don't have ?

Does your Windows network work as it should without any problems .. so file sharing and stuff like that ?

I suppose you have 2 or more computers. . .can you describe your network a bit more ?

LAN explained simply:

Two computers connected directly via a cable, example would be one computer in your bedroom and one downstirs, both connected together.

ONLINE PROBLEM:

Make sure you have the correct 1.06 patch for your country installed, Turn your firewall off,

Only use nic which is registered with westwood (EA),

Turn ICQ, yahoo and MSM off,

Close all background programmes,

It can take up to a minute to enter the game lobby,

Install a RC patch as this can help to connect you,

Use a genuine cd, and not a downloaded copy,

wait i said the online thing wrong how do i use the dll patch and is that the only thing i have to use beside the patch? and what do i have to open it with winzip? if so then what do i do

What you need to play online is the 1.06 patch:

Unzip the DLL file, or copy and paste it to your C:/dune/internet folder, the DLL file is not a program, so it doesn't have to be started first, its a fix, which enables you to host and play Dune2k online.
