	Multiplayer Help Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

My buddy and I just dug up SMAC and were hoping to play some MP against each other over the Internet (TCP/IP) but we can't get it to work!

We are both using windows XP and have the v4.0 patch and win XP patch. We told our firewalls to unblock SMAC and set our Routers' DMZ to both our respective computers so there shouldn't be anything blocking us... when we go to log into a game, the 'joiner' finds the host's game and can join it, but then it waits for awhile and then fails to connect.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be? We really want to give this a try, but it is driving us crazy! I've been able to do it within my network here between my two computers (win 98 and win xp), but across the Internet it doesn't seem to work.

If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it!!

Thanks,
Haesten

	Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

This is easy to fix for I had the same problem.

In your Centari ini file add "ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1"

This will give you a CPU not supported warning. Just click OK and away you go.
