How to host shogun MP Games.

[Drisos]

So:

1) enter "cmd" in "run"

what should happen then?

2) enter "ipconfig" in "run"

-when i enter after typing "cmd", there is a message 'the program (or some parts of it) could not be found. Check if the path is right and if the necessary library's are there'

-after that, instantly "ipconfig" appears in "run" but it still disappears when i run it

sorry for my lacking english. I got that message in dutch and couldn't translate it better.

in that case search for the file:
cmd.exe
(between hidden files & system too) and launch it manually.

[Drisos]

Can't find it.

I entered "cmd" found other files with "cmd" in it's name.
I entered "cmd.exe" found nothing
I tried looking for .exe files with "cmd", found nothing

Beginning to think I don't have the file . . . :(

Are you sure I have that file?

Isn't there any other way? It still doesn't work...

drisos,

every Windows OS has the MS-DOS-Command line.
If your search for cmd.exe doesn't return anything it's not there.
It may be that you haven't installed it.
Please go to System Control Panel/Software/Windows-components

Each component has an additional detail tab. Open them all until you come
across the command line tool.

Once you have it installed, entering "cmd" in "Run.." opens a black window
that stays open. Here you enter the "ipconfig" command.

OK I'll try.

Windows OS? what means the OS actually

I couldn't find the 'command line tool' maybe if you tell me what it is I can translate into Dutch and find it in the System CP

Should I install it with my windows CD-rom? We lost it. I do have a map called options/cabs in windows which contains all that was on the CD-rom, so I might be able to install it anyway.

im puzzled!

OS=Operating System


This is how the command-tool looks like.
The german word is "Eingabeaufforderung"
Notice the icon with the "C:\" prompt.
Look out for that.

I did some more testing and have the feeling that I'm very close.

When hosting a LAN game Shogun listens to UDP 2290.
When hosting a game on fakeserver it listens to TCP 2467.

And then there're also the ports for directplay
6515 (Dplay UDP)
6500 (Query Port)

I'll try to test those ports asap.
