Dune 2000 Multiplayer Crashes

[Urakobe]

Hey, i've been running Dune 2000 on my xp, and in single player it works just fine...but everytime i try to play multiplayer over the internet on Westwood, the game crashes everytime i join, or create a game. I've got the v1.06 patch installed, and i've tryied several different things, icluding changing the compatabilty mode, resolution, 8 bit/16bit mode, 256 colors, and a few other things...Anybody got any ideas to fix this?

Try to set the following in the Windows HOSTS file

212.162.52.234 servserv.westwood.com

212.162.52.234 irc.westwood.com

that sets the servers to use the XWIS service for playing Westwood Games online. If the problem resists, try to activate DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) in your router configuration. I have read of a FOXrotorz or something patch, try this before starting the game. it may work.

:)shut down your firewall and if you have a router, open up ports 1234 udp. If you have trouble to open up the ports of your router go to www.portforward.com/routers
