Hi, I have 7.0 and want to use the direct TCP/IP but it closes out the game and reverts to my desktop. Can someone please help? Thank you

Are you running any sort of firewall? Do you run solitare battles ok? Any other issues with gameplay? We need more info to help.
thanks, John.

I have had no problems with any/all versions of SPWaW. In fact it runs great and is a blast to play, thats why I tried to hookup with my other computer. I have no firewalls or have problems playing other direct games ie. Civilization II etc. Hope you can help.
Thanks John

So you are trying to play across a lan? Do you have the same problem when trying to play with another computer across the internet? Is your lan setup to use tcpip instead of 802.2?
thanks, John.

Hi John, I am not sure what 802.2 is. I know my computer is setup for TCP/IP for I play other games on it. I can not play online because what happens is when I click either online or timed online the program asks for name input, but has the name of my other computer in it already, if I try to change it or keep it the program quits and reverts back to my desk top.
