I am not getting any feedback on Lan
so now i am wondering has it also been cut from the game ? There is only one way to play this game and that is Lan and if thats not there this game is usless.

Net play is in the game, but since I've played a grand total of 1 game in it, I have no details to give you about it other than it exist.

Net play is not LAN play. Is local network play in the game? What protocol does it take? IPX/SPX or TCP/IP?
Thanks!!

It's not? LAN means Local Area Network. Net Play means you can play it over a network. What part am I missing, cause obviously I am missing something?

But to attempt to answer the rest of your question, TCP/IP is supported for sure. And I think IPX is as well, but I'm not positive on that.

I had problems with Software Routers in CtP1. Will CtP2 work with Softwar Routers (such as Nat32)?
Or do I have to do some port forwarding? I assume you use Direct Play ports 2300-2400 tcp/udp anything else?

Sorry, I don't know.

One note though, DirectPlay uses 2300-2400 and 47624. Not everything uses the last one, but some things do.

Ok, sorry. I though by 'net play you meant Internet play. Some games are set up for Internet servers, but not for LAN play. Glad to hear that I was mistaken.
Thanks,
