Hi VonB,

Apologies for the late reply,

okay the news,

I uninstalled CC5 and patch and then reinstalled using the technique that you recommended,
but alas the multiplayer screen was still missing the buttons.
I tried installing a few times from the CD or the start screen, but didn’t make any difference.
and launched the game in win 95-98 and XP modes.
Interesting the XP SP2 mode worked this time, where originally it didn’t.
Also don’t know if makes any difference the administrator button in the preferences screen was grayed out.

I guess the next step would be, to run the game in "Virtual PC 2007"
Hmmm,

(My friend is starting to think that it can't be done.)

Other than that don’t know.
I will keep plugging away.
If I get any good news I will report back.

Thanks again for all the help

The Vista machine game plays okay against AI, The multiplayer screen is blank (please see the pic.)

we haven't got as far as the network connection yet; as the Vista computer doesn't get the multiplayer screen.

We tried running CC5 on the vista machine
Win 95 mode -- OKAY
Win 98 mode --Okay
Other ones NT, 2000, XP SP2 the game didn’t launch.

I read some of the help notes and couldn’t see a easy way around.......

So two steps,
1, will download and install "Virtual PC 2007" from Microsoft
and see if CC5 on the vista computer can get the multiplayer screen.

That being successful. Step 2, attempt a multiplayer game and see if the computers can connect via IP addresses.
Stay tuned.........
will report back in a day or two

Hi VonB,

Thanks for all the help, unfortunately my friends computer is running vista and try as we might
we couldn’t get the multiplayer screen to work on CC5.
I had a read of help forums posts and nothing suggested seemed to work.
Bugger,

So It will have to wait I guess.

Any way, Thanks again for all the help.

Hi VonB,

Thanks for the reply,

I think the easiest way for us to connect will be via the existing LAN and use the function you described to find out the IP addresses (Step 2)
Then tell CC5 to find the other computers IP address.
If we start changing settings there is a good chance that some thing will get screwed up.

If we use the IP address to play against each other will that work over any type of connection (wifi, ad hock network, etc) as the host game knows where to find the other game?

I think the LAN is fairly open its for accessing the data storage drives and internet. Think some of the other guys have been playing games on it in the past.

Am signing on late next week, will let you know how it goes.

Thanks again

H2H on a LAN or a cross over eithernet cable. CC5.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help,
I had a look around the old help articles and couldn't see anything.
A friend and I wish to play CC5 against each other over a local area network (Plug in or wireless) or via a cross over either net cable.

There is a connection to the internet but it is very slow, (okay for slow web browsing but not games or downloading , e.g.. YouTube doesn't work well) (we are on a ship)
Both the computers are connected to the LAN normally and can get internet.
Does anybody know how to make the two computers talk to each other, so we can play CC5 H2H games?
or CC5 on one computer find the CC5 on the other computer.

Is there a setting in the multiplayer screen that need to selected?

Will Hamaci work without a internet connection? Could it find another player over a LAN?
Will it find the other player on the internet then switch to the LAN as it the closest connection?

The Operating systems are XP to XP or Xp to Vista

Got any tips?
Thank you very much
