I've been trying without success to play a Internet game of Civ II MP Gold with my cousin online. When one of us tries to host a game, the client can't successfully connect. In fact, on the Waitng for Connections screen, no indication is made of any activity.
Both of have the latest updates installed. I'm using a Beige G3 466 w/ 160 MB of ram, with my provider being my local ISP. He's using at least a Pentium II 300, with AOL as his provider. As far as I know, as hosts we're both putting in the correct IP numbers, as verified by an IP detecting website.
Right now, I'm thinking that one of the problems may be that he's using AOL. However, he has been able to play a PC user successfully over AOL.
The other possibility on my mind is that perhaps the extensions on my Mac aren't set up properly. I'm running 8.6, with a pared down Extension set, consisting mainly of Microsoft, USB, and networking extensions. Here's the relevant Internet extensions/control panels I'm using:
Dial Assist
DNS Plugin
ICeTEe
Idletime
NetSprocket Lib
Internet Access
Internet
Network Setup Extension
All the Open Transport Extensions
OT Autopush Support
Shared Library Manager
Shared Library Manager PPC
TCP/IP
URL Access
All the Remote Access Extensions
What extensions are you guys finding to be successful?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Defian
