You don’t need Hamachi (unless you want internet tournaments) Thanks a lot to the forum members at BSG Online Games. You should be able to mesage/create/ join games in RA2 now. Last step: Open up Hamachi’s preferences > Status >Connection Detailed Configuration.

If you are using a router, this is the most important part: you need to do portforwarding for hamachi.If you don’t, you will only be able to see other people’s nick names but not able to message/create/join games in the RA2 lobby. And for your IPX properties, put the following: The later versions seem rather buggy.įrom the picture, you can see that you have to Install NWLink IPX/SPX/Netbios protocol for your Hamachi network interface. I’ve been stuck with this problem for a long time.Īfter installing RA2, get the patch from the following website and install this patch. This is meant to help all those who can see names in the Red Alert 2 lobby, but unable to message/create/join games. In my case my original RA2 cd-rom didn’t work, but after removing it and installing an “illegal” version downloaded from the internet it worked! Probably due to the fact that it’s a “fresh” Red Alert 2 installation. That is a last resort, only if you have a software glitch somwhere that doesnt allow RA2 to recognise the new IPX configuration.

How to: start – settings – Network and dial up connections – right_click on the network device – properties.Ī new window will show up with a list of services and protocols. (anything from a crossover to a router to a switch to wireless everything will work)
