You said you don't have a firewall?

That is the only think I can think of blocking it.

@ Atholon the IPX/SPX is ONLY for network play needed. for online play it uses the old TCP/IP protocol

I dont have have IPX/SPX installed and DF2 works like a charm for me.


@ vzx A AntiVirus does NOT contain a firewall......
And do you get a error message while trying to play DF2 ?

[atholon]

Sorry Kat that's not true...not in my case.

If you have your DSL hooked up to your computer through your network card...

At least it worked when I installed IP/SPX, I had tried everything and right when I did that it let me join.

weird... I dont have the IPX/SPX installed and i play through network card hooked up through a switch to my router.... hmmm Maybe i have to try on this system cuz the system with DF2 on it is at the barracks.

Could be that my system is just wacked. I have POS Router/DSL modem. This thing won't forward ports!!!
