Schwertz: I tried to do this quite a long time ago so details are faded in memory already. May be the game needs some auxilliary port to run properly. Did you added HeXen II executables to the exception lists on the local firewalls, both client and server?
I'm the one trying to connect with her. We've checked out firewall setup, and everything Hexen, and Galaxy related for that matter, are all allowed on our Norton network. We also tried playing with Hamachi, and nothing worked. Oddly, we can't seem to choose IPX at all. We just cannot navigate to IPX with a keyboard (controllers are picked up for the game too, and that isn't working on that page).But the TCP/IP connection should work, and it doesn't. On my side, when I go to join her IP address, it says connection failed and there is no response. From her side, the connection is successful but it then acts as if she needs to input a command on the command prompt, and she never joins the game successfully.
We're able to network with other games on galaxy, and our network has been hooked up the same way for years. We're really not sure what's going on with Hexen 2 multiplayer.
