gryphon Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Filesharing in Windows is done via TCP/IP. (or I guess it's done that way on your computers unless you also have NetBEUI installed)Dune2000 uses IPX. The adapters should both be on "00000000".

Targetty Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hahaha that is so ironic, my son and I are trying to do the same thing, i used to play back in 98 i guess it was , and havent for a while. I decided my son and i should tear it up a bit but have had no luck in hubbing them together. I am currentlty trying just to play it online in the forum so as he can as well, but i cant connect i go into internet then connect then it says i have to download a patch but then it says it doesnt exsist, so i went on another site and downloaded it from there, but it still doesnt work, i just want to play it online, then i can at least find him and play him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
