Using Direct Play

[WargameGeneral]

Just had a quick look at the user manual. Page 75 states the following:

"This section describes the details associated with multi-player Network Play. Microsoft’s Direct Play is used for this purpose. The TCP/IP protocol is used to connect the computers being used. If you are using a firewall to connect to the Internet, you must configure it before you can connect using Direct Play. Information on how to do this can be found in this Microsoft technical article: DirectX: Ports Required to Play on a Network."

No direct link in the manual, but a quick Google search brings up the following:

https://jeffpar.github.io/kbarchive/kb/240/Q240429/

"Summary: This article describes the ports required to play Microsoft DirectX multiplayer games through a firewall, a proxy server, a router, Network Address Translation (NAT), or Intenet Connection Sharing (ICS)."

Hope that helps...
