A friend of mine and I recently purchased Master of Orion 1+2 from gog.com, but every time we've tried to connect in a multiplayer, the computer which is acting as client is unable to connect to the server computer. I've tried everything I can find on the forums and I've forwarded my ports and checked my firewalls.

One thing I've noticed is the most recent version from gog.com has a slightly different multiplayer configuration under the start button on windows than what is described in the guides. In the version we downloaded this month there is one multiplayer start button which then allows you to select single player, network client or network host. Was this recently changed? When you select network client, you input the host IP, but you cannot list an alternative port if the host started the server on anything other than 213.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
