ReplyDeleteCan i play lan ra2 with an XP pc and a VISTA pc?
ReplyDelete^^
ReplyDeleteI would like to know aswell
thank you very much
ReplyDeleteRe: Can i play lan ra2 with an XP pc and a VISTA pc?
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it yet...
but I will
OMG it works! thanks a lot :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much homie, i really need this update/patch. Thank you again.!
ReplyDeleteYou can play ra2 with an xp and a vista as I just got it working yesterday. We had problems finding a way to get the IPX protocol especially on the vista. So we used Hamachi. It basically creates a mini network and converts IPX in TCP so you can play using newer windows. Its free to download. Make sure you can ping each over alright over it so you know your connected. Just a couple of things to remember. If you have an IPX protocol make sure its disabled on the hamachi network and also you need to go into network connections, hamachi network, advanced tab , advanced settings(its there on vista as well keep looking), then make sure hamachi is the top network on both systems. If this doesn't work am sorry but keep trying it is possible
ReplyDeleteI have Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge. I did that patch thing. But still, when I start ra2.exe i cannot access "network" in the menu, when I push, it slides away and then menu comes back.
ReplyDeleteWhen I start Yuri.exe from RA2 directory, I CAN access "network" in the menu.
Interesting that there is a difference between ra2.exe and yuri.exe in the network part.
how do i play Ra2 on the internet im on a vista PC
ReplyDeleteplz tell when i play yuris revenge on lane with my friend game start for 2 or 10 second then the error come you are victorius other player is defeated plz any one tell how we can play.please reply.my id is fragrant_4@yahoo.com.answer me plzzzzzz.
ReplyDeletehey if i have windows xp can i install this file in the directory of the game and to play in network ?
ReplyDeleteThis is not my work but something i have found during my searches through the net.
ReplyDelete(Found at: http://www.starbase01.com/site/index.php?aid=87 )
"IPX/SPX Protocol in Vista (32bit)
Microsoft has removed IPX/SPX support from Windows Vista.
Because a lot of older games only can be played across a LAN using this protocl (for example: the early Command & Conquer series) I have done some research and discoved that simply copying some files into a couple of Vista folders will allow you to install this protocol once again!
This operation requires Administrator Rights!
Please note that I can't be held responsible for any damage caused to your system!
This works only for the 32bit version of Windows Vista!
NOT the 64bit version, as that version will only accept signed drivers.
There are two ways to install the protocol on your Vista installation:
1. Automatic Installation:
Download & execute this installer (275KB). (goto the site (listed above) for the downloads)
2. Manual Installation:
Download this ZIP file (368KB)(goto the site (listed above) for the downloads)
Extract it to the root of your systemdrive (most of the time this will be C:\) while observing the folder structure.
Then open the Network & Sharing Center.
Choose the option that says "Manage Network Connections"
Right click your connection, click properties
Click the Install button
The NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol may be listed on the Network Protocol list.
DO NOT SELECT IT.
Click Have Disk... C:\Windows\inf.
Select netnwlnk.inf.
Click OK.
Select the NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol from the list.
Vista will tell you that the publisher could not be verified.
Click Install.
You're done!
Enjoy!

For me that works(remember under the same connection)
Wow! the dll in http://www.understorm.net/ actually works!!! We are connected using a wireless network and the other laptop is using XP and I am using vista.
ReplyDeleteThe UDP patch wsock.dll works a treat instead of IPX.
ReplyDeleteCheers for the help
i have problem it seems it works but my vista com doesnt let make a new game or i cant join and see the other player.
ReplyDeleteUpdate tour Hamachi..if you do everything this might be the problem..
ReplyDeleteTrying to get a ra2 session on the go with a friend but we both have vista computers. It played fine when I was playing using a vista against him using windows xp, just that i could only create games, and not see/join them.
ReplyDeleteNow with both of us using vista, we can't see eachother in the lobby or even see a created game. Anyone know what the problem is? or if it is even possible to play red alert 2 over hamachi using 2 vista computers?
I'm kind of stuck in a issue with this too. My brother and I have vista computers and are trying to play with a 3 person whom has Windows XP. However, we all can play with each other when it's just 1 v 1. When we try to get 3 people in the same game, it just says "Waiting..." on their name and never loads. Can anyone help with this? I can play with my brother (Vista to Vista) or with my friend (Vista to XP) and my brother can play with my friend (Vista to XP again) but we all can't play together (Vista - Vista - XP)
ReplyDeleteAny help is appreciated, thanks!
I am the anonymous who post at JUNE 09 AND JUNE 27.I am playing with my brother over Hamachi and the both Pc are Vista.I never try to play with a XP computer.I had an issue trying to play Tiberian Sun.When someone was join a game the was who was join his name appear two times and when press ready the third name was there and we couldnt make the game start.I update my hamachi cause the site i give at JUNE 09 is an older version of hamachi and everything works fine.All the copmuters must have the SAME version of Hamachi.
ReplyDeleteIf this dont work i thing XP support IPX but you have to activate it so go to step 3 and do what is saying.so everybody is using IPX.I dont thing this gonna do something but try it out.
it
You with the brother both playing Vista:
ReplyDeleteThis problem can occur to anyone.. Just go to the menu and select Options. After that, select Network and in there you will find something with a socket number. Try changing them (only three or four to choose from), and as u change, check to see if u can see ur brother.. Hope this helps..
how come i cant register a westwood account? it says no connection to interntet in game(but there is) and the register link in internet folder is broken.
ReplyDeleteWorked a treat. Thank you. No messing about with legacy IPX.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!! LETS GET THIS SORTED
ReplyDeleteThe .dll patch was working great for months on both RA2 & YR and then all of a sudden it stopped. My network card still shows up as all zeros in the options menu, which shows the patch is still trying to do what its supposed to but I can no longer get to the network lobby window. If anybody has any ideas on how to fix this that would be great!
