Hi,
can you help me?

While i'm trying to play delta force land warrior using WAN, it wont let me
connect
into the game. I can host on the main computer and can connect to the game
on the second
computer, all seems to be ok but the second computer will not load the
mission data, it
just says 'loading mission data' and goes no further.

Both computers have got :
AMD 2800xp
Belkin network cards
1Gb ram
OS windows xp home edition

Hope someone can help me with this problem

Regards

Rachel

Some games only allow a "LAN" game if both machines are in the same /24
netblock. If that's the case here, you can use a program like udpproxy or
uproxy to make one machine act like it's both the server and the remote
client. I've used this for Internet games when the "master server" is down,
running udpproxy on my Internet server to proxy connections from my
teammates around the continent.

I've played the game through wireless before, but lately it hasnt loaded
the mission data.
Which is why i am confused about why its not doing it anymore.
Hope some one can help
