Question
Red alert Aftermath on LAN?

Hey all,

Picked up the old classic over the weekend.

Managed to get the Redalert game working on LAN but could not get AFTERMATH to work on XP.

Question to you guys: Have any of you played / setup aftermath LAN play successfully? If so , how did you do it?

I have had a look around on the forum was unable to find a lot of info.
Thanks in advance for any support.

Do you have a firewall running on the computers? (or the built in xp firewall?)

Can you give us more information about your network?

You may need to patch the game sense it's old! Run the game in compatibility mode as well. Right click the program icon.

Hey thanks f or your reply. The game is patched with the 3.03 version so certainly up to date.
I just wonder if any one has actually played Red Alert Aftermath on LAN or even online?
