Dungeon Keeper 2 Multiplayer

Ok I know its a bit of an old one but I would really love to get this working multiplayer. It works fine single player on both machines. When I go to multiplayer (tcp/ip) it sees the other game straight away no matter which pc is hosting. But I cant find a way to join!

When I click join, the list refreshes, I cant highlight the game or double click it. the port is correct, we both have the same version. I tried adding the ip to address book but no difference!

Please help out, dying to play this multiplayer today lol.

Hmm, its running fine for me under windows 7. Patched up to 1.7 I just run as windowsxp and admin and no problems. Hasnt crashed once either and it used to crash loads in vista

tried adding the software to the firewall rules as an exception? also tried disabling any firewalls etc temporarily?

No joy, I removed all firewalls on both machines for testing!

I heard on other forums it allows IPX but ipx isnt available for win7 (32 bit) and the only emulator I know of is within Dosbox, which it cant use as its not a dos game! *cry

Well I got it working, by reinstalling version 1.0. It crashes often but it connects to MP!

Well its a shame DK3 never happened. Cant remember why they decided against it! Evil Genius is the next nearest thing but not nearly as enjoyable.

*Edit, scratch that I got it working
