Hi Terry,


I'm even more fed up now, I've just spent another 30 quid on a second copy and it still doesn't work.

A couple of times an opponents name briefly appeared on the list of games to join then just dissapeared by itself, the second time it disappeared when I clicked on it.

I've disabled all firewalls anti virus etc and still nothing.

Do you think this could vbe to do with permissions for the network connection?

Both computers are basically set up so they can access the my document folders of the other computer so do the DoW folders have to be added to a list somewhere?

Thanks.

Yippee, I've got it working. Only one way with the Laptop as the server but working none the less. I've still got this to sort out as the Desktop is way faster so should be the server.

I think the problem has been with the combination of demos, the DoW game itself, patches, more patches etc. etc installed on both computers and maybe not always the same patches in the same order so I dleted everything off both computers, then installed the game, 1.01, 1.10 patches on both pcs in the same order and it actually works.

I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem but looking back I supose it is common sense but everything is easy once you've do it.

We have now downloaded a few of the new maps and these rock.. keep up the good work guys.
