View Full Version : CnC1 Internet Games? Can't connect.

Hi again!

So I read about XWIS as a replacement for WOL. It says to connect simply click "online" in the main menu. When I load CnC1, there is a "Multiplayer" and "Internet" button in the menu. The internet button makes me register for WOL, but that gets no where in the end because it's a dead service I suppose. In multiplayer, I can click either modem or network. I click network - this allows me to play games with my other home computer (I have 2 comps with CnC1) but I don't see other games being hosted by other people across the net (I guess the CnC1's "Network" means LAN only?).

How can I see other games hosted by other people? Am I doing something wrong?

Also in the "How to Connect" section of "Online" play here at CnCWorld, it talks about registering for a username, saying that all you need to do is type a username and password and it registers. I don't see where to register a username, am I missing something there too? Or does this option not apply for CnC1?

Sorry for my computer ignorance!

Joe

We've got a step-by-step guide that should clear things up: http://www.cncworld.org/?page=features/tutorials/cnc95online

If you've got the original version you can skip the "installation Instructions" part.

Ahhhh thank you!

Hmmm to bad it seems like there are not many players online. I saw 15 (none in CnC1).

LoL thanks though! Big help.
