RA2 networked on Win7 machines?

[jbruyet]

First of all, I don't see a search icon to look for posts. If there is a search icon where is it?

Some friends and I want to get back into RA2 networked. I have six Windows 7 machines all connected but I'm having a hard time finding what I need so they can see each other. I Googled my issue but got tired of reading over the same unhelpful stuff. I did get a couple of computers connected a couple of years ago and that required tweaking a config file template and putting it somewhere but I can't find the file template and I don't remember where it went. I also had to download and install a third-party IPX protocol. Is there a FAQ somewhere with instructions on how to get RA2 machines running Windows 7 networked so we can do team play?

Thanks,

Joe B

Hello,

Quickest way would be to use our client. There's an online option if you have internet, but also a LAN option too.

Thanks ShowtimeRa2, I see it. On my system it's barely visible but it is there.

Grant, I downloaded the client. I hope to get it installed today and let you know how it worked for me.

Thanks all,

Joe B
