Help please with multiplayer using CDROM

[antigeek]

I have updated to Ver 1.33.  I am unable to connect peer to peer.  My questions are:

1. Is there a very specific sequence of button pushes that works?  When joining, what do I put in the fields?  My IP, or the host’s?  My name, or the host’s?  I’ve tried all combinations.  Always get an unable to connect error.

2. Does anyone have the CDROM manual they can share with me?  Perhaps send a scan?

3. I only have CDROM copies.  Is there something uncopyable about the original such that I need an original to do multiplayer?

Thank you for any helpful input.

For the record I fixed this by configuring the router to allow port forwarding at port 47624.  Found that hint somewhere else.

There is a patch for the multiplayer game at http://home.centurytel.net/khb/aa that is needed to play Hasbro’s A&A with the latest versions of DirectX.

http://www.axisandalliesworldclub.com is a site devoted to playing the Hasbro version online–you can find information on getting it to work as all, as well as find online games, there–check the message boards at that site.
