I am trying to download the free dune 2000. I also would like to know how to even begin playing dune and or a  multiplayer game. My roommate and I want to play against each other....I have the cd he doesn't......someone please help me????????

Dune 2000 isn't free which means you can't download it legally.

any suggestions?

Forget it I didn't read it proberl, my mistake ;D

You have the CD ? Than what's the problem ? You just install Dune 2000 on both PC's and use the CD on the one that hosts the game.

excuse me for sounding dumb......but.......we both share the same internet isp and are on at the same time......we both have dune 2000 installed........what would be the next step?......simply inserting the cd?....and if that doesn't work do you have another suggestion or alternative? Thanks for replying

I get it. ( I think ) If you'd like to play against eachother you don't need that internet connection, just a network. ( LAN ) If you'd like to play on the Net at the same time, just connect to the internet ( Weswood online ), it's in the multiplayer section. Don't know if you need the CD for that, I always use it but that doen't mean you have to.

Thanks again for the reply....I do have LAN......but not sure if it's connected properly....will try westwood online....I tried it before and it told me the page is not found......is there a better way to get to westwood online?

Firstly, you must have an account created. After, it's easy. You can connect by multyplayers options. And then you go.

Try to connect your computers simply by modem.  :)

That should do the trick, and you won't be needing the Net.

If you have LAN, just install dune2k on both, then insert in one pc the cd and start dune2k, and on the other pc run dune2k without the cd, on the pc with the cd you can do everything, so create a LAN-game (Network) and be the host, other pc's without cd can join that game...

[gryphon]

Didn't I already say that ? ;)

Yes sorry, I see, but I thought I was answering the other topic with the same question, later I saw that there were 2... :P :P
