  • Unable to connect to Game Machine

    Me and a friend of mine are tryin to set up and internet game in Civ2. Both of us are running Win Xp and we log onto the internet using a wireless connections. We keep getting the message "unable to connect to game machine" as if one of our computers has a firewall. All firewalls are down. Any suggestions?

      I am not a MP guru, but...

      This problem occured to me when playing scenarios: both players must have the game in equal folders (relatively to Civ2 folder).

      Also Civ2 doesn't always detect the IP correctly. You may need to edit the proposed IP (correct IP may be found at whatismyip.com)

        are there any routers involved?

          You might want to try Hamachi, it works wonders at solving problems such as this.

              Hamachi is a missile unit in the Krakatoshi scenario.
