	NEED HELP!? What's going on??? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Hi! I want to play the multiplayer mode with a friend of mine and the game couldn't find the server, ok and someone told me to install this new server file favailable rom this site to my ctp folder and I did that

and then two servers came up on the screen and I could log in with no difficulty but I and my friend were the only ones in the lobby ???? then I created a game and asked him to join me up and this message of "joining the game" came up on his screen but nothing happened after that and the message stayed there ???? (We have waited for more than 5 mins)

Could anyone please tell me what the problem was? Has anyone got the latest and reliable servers to play CTP mulitplayer (not play by e-mail) ???

Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated

	Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I have heard rumors that multiplayer works poorly if the one setting up the game uses XP or Win2k. I have had that problem myself and never been able to start a multiplayer. I am using XP. Anyone that can confirm this?

	Put an end to popups!

2k is curable winxp is too but takes much more work. So the answer is yes thye are problematic.
