Red alert Aftermath on LAN?

[cemhere]

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?

1 pc, 1 laptop connected via router. windows firewall off on both. Also router firewall off. No other firewall running at all.

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?

Hi cemhere i just recently posted a topic about this. about a week ago. I just bought command and conquer the first decade. It was 30 dollars and it includes EVRY SINGLE GAME FROM THE FIRST INCLUDING EXPANIONS ALL THE WAY TO COMMAND AND CONQUR GERNERALS ZERO HOUR!! And i ve always love the first 2 command and conquer along with the 3 expansions To play u might need to buy a copy of command conquer the first decade for each pc but i was searching for a way to play them online. And i came along this website that says its sponsored by EA but ill have to ask message EA before doin anything Heres the website STRIKE-Team.net youll come to a black page skip it then ull get to a white page. Onthe top left it should say play red alert (Yourd being command conquer:red alert im not sure if this will work for u) But plaese tell me if it does or doesnt so i cn try to assist you as much as possible!! Ill message EA right now!

actually, i used to play aftermath at 1996 on LAN with my friends, it was a 'bone crushing' game that took lot of time and it worth playing.. today 2011 and after more than 15 years, i wondered where from i can get it, make it work on win7 and play it on LAN with old friends again.. and i read this post by mistake, so to answer your question, yes it can be played on LAN but that used to be on windows 95, now, i am not sure if this is possible, it should be logically.
