: Well, I can't get Multiplayer over the Internet to work for the life of me. I
: have the latest Windows PC full package, I had my nephew download a copy
: and run it on his PC machine. I opened up the respective TCP port on my
: home router. I tried to gather a game, gave him my IP, he input it and
: tried joining a game, and NOTHING!
This is maby because your ISP probably also blocks that port, unless you can get them to disconnect it on that port (which is unlikely) you can't have a game. My ISP does this to me as well so your not the only one in this boat. If we can get a dedicated server to do the port mapping for us the ISP will be ignored 98% of all cases instead of about 70% of all cases like now.
: Anybody got internet play to work? I'd like to know if I'm banging my head
: against a wall trying to get this to work.
No it does work I have seen it work with my own three eyes.
: Also, while I'm at it... LAN play with my Classic OS9 version of Aleph didn't
: work either. Both my PC and my Beige G3 are on 192.168.x.x numbers going
: into the router, and from what I read in the networking guide, I shouldn't
: have to do anything special... however, it also says that the Classic OS9
: version of Aleph doesn't always work... just my luck I guess.
I am not sure about this but I think the OS 9 version and OS X version may not work to join each other in all cases depending on version, also the IBM box version probably doesn't currently work, however this may have changed I haven't been around for a while.
It would also be good if you checked out the http://sourceforge.net/projects/marathon/ site for people with similar problems not all of the bug fixers look here and I am not particularly well qualified since I haven't updated my CPU.
