Guest anonymous Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 I have windows2000 on both of my computers. When I join the LAN lobby, I dont see my other computer in there. Is this a NT problem? Can I get a patch of some sort to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Do you have the IPX protocol installed? Keep in mind Dune 2000 isn't supported under Win2000 as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anonymous Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Yeah I have all the IPX protocols installed correctly. I know the game itself works in win2k because not long ago I was playing against opponents online, and before that I was playing practice missions. I figure that If I got as far as playing online, I have to be able to do it on lan, but for some reason when I make both computers join the same game ONLINE, it just does the countdown to 0 and never starts.... so im not exactly sure.

Guest anonymous Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 nevermind, I got it working over lan. So the only thing I know of that win2k doesnt support in dune is the trainers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 The trainers only work on v1.02 as well...Btw, what did you do to get it working, in case others have the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anonymous Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Not exactly sure why it started working....but I have 2 network cards, so I plugged my lan cable into my 10 mb card and was able to see my other computer. So it was obviously some kind of network settings problem.And about the trainers....no they dont work in v1.02 in win2k. I already tried it.

Endacomm1 Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 I Had the EXACT same problem on MY 2K Machine.. All I had to do was get out my Old 10 MBPS Hub , and the problen Disappeared.. So I'm asuming the Comm system can't handle over 10Meg.. It's STILL rather flakey If there's a '95 system on the LAN tho.. I have as of yet NOT found this glitch. I Just Pull the plugs on and (Under 98SE Systems) on my Lan, and it seems to do FAIR.<Steve> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Running Dune 2000 on a LAN is relativly easy. You just have to have the " IPX / SPX " protocol installed on your computer. ( this is not nessesaraly installed when you have a running LAN ). Then ofcourse Dune 2000 itself is also a must have. You'll have to install Dune 2000 on all computers you'd like to use. One needs the CD, this computer is also the "server" for the new game. You select the map and other options on this computer and it gathers the others. The others have to join to the "server". That's about all. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Dune 2000 uses IPX not TCP/IP. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
