Tried everything, please help
Here's the situation. Me and my friend want to play SMAC (no X) one on one on the internet. So after numerous failed attempts, here's the situation now.
Both of us have the "smacp4e.exe" patch
Both have the "SMAC_Win2000&XP_Compatibility_Update_v1[2].03f.exe" patch
Neither of us have Alien Crossfire
Both of us have the CD, no cracked game or anything
He is running WinME or some other new system, I have 98.
He has cable modem, I have DSL. I am hosting.
We both select TCP/IP Connection.
I go in and set up my game. He goes in, puts in my IP address, gets into my game and sees me there. But he never appears on my screen. I get the message that he is not responding and I have a number of choices like wait 20 seconds, drop him, quit game, or ignore, potentially fatal. I have tried all four and none of them result in anything good.
Is there anything that can be done?
