LAN game crashes

[spicedredger]

Hi there,

i set up Dune 2000 (portable version 1.06 with UDP/IPX-Patch from http://forum.dune2k....147#entry357147) on 3 machines (Win 7 32 and 64) and we are able to host, join and play some matches.

Problem is: the game crashes on one of the computers (host or client) after a short time. We never got beyond 10 minutes or so. One client crashes (game freezes) and the other one gets a timeout and continues without the other player (playing skirmish).

To narrow down the problem we tried:

• playing skirmish against many AI players (works flawlessly on all machines)
  

What did not improve the situation:

• playing over LAN cable (instead of wifi or hamachi)
  
• playing 1vs1 without AI on small maps
  
• applying different compatibility mode settings for dune2000.exe
  

Any ideas on this? I'm sure we set up our network properly but something seems to be wrong with the game clients.

Help very appreciated, thanks!
