Heroes & Might & magic III Multiplayer... can't get it to work!

[Richdog]

Aghh I know this is ana ncient game but me and a mate used to play it constantly when we were flatmates and we are planning a revival... only problem is we can't get multiplayer to work for love nor money. The only feasible way of connecting over the internet that I can see with my limited knowledge of this sort of thing is by I.P. but when I try and host a game that way he can't find me using the game browser.

ANy tips or is this game such a dinosaur that our plight is hopeless? *sobs*

EDIT - nm just been told my search is fruitless *cries*

Hmm havent tried gamespy, when I tried to install it NOD32 detected an adware trojan so I thought "screw that" and scrapped it. Have you had it working on there?

Agree with you though, the IVth game was a bit of a departure from the trraditional format, we didnt really get that into it. The Vth looks sweet though.
