Connection Failed...?
I have downloaded the multiplayer MGE Patch and installed them into MPS/CIV2 folder. But when i try to connect to play a multiplayer game it says connection failed and then takes me back to the main menu. Sorry if this is a stupid question or has been asked before, But what do i do? Thanks.

Well. I can not help you too much, but. Is the IP that you put correct? Please check that no empty spaces are on the IP. For example:
62.44.44.33
is invalid. The correct is
62.44.44.33
withouth the intial blank space.
I don't remind any other problem with MGE Civ

How do you find out your IP address? I got mine from trying to start or join a new league and there was already a IP address typed down, So i just assumed it was mine.

IP addreses-
Command Prompt gives you them, but also:
This should work: http://www.edpsciences.com/htbin/ipaddress
If not, I know at least 2 other sites 
Also, your firewall will tell you your IP Make sure it's disabled, however, when starting a game.

It wants the ip address of the host.You need to get that from the host and enter it.If you are hosting,just leave it as is and send it whoever is joining your game.This where an instant messenger like ICQ,AIM,etc comes in.
