How do you set up a tcp/ip game?

[blackwulf]

First I would like to thank everyone for their help. Thank you very much!

This is what did the trick for me..

I switched the port to 7000 and I added the additional switches that Johan K suggested to my client launch shortcut.
--tcpclient --ipadr 127.0.0.1 --port 1024

I think the key was the tcpclient switch without it I still can't connect. But when applied it works like a charm.

I am running windows XP Home Edition. I also am running Zone Alarm firewall. I have two shortcuts on my desktop with the following configurations.

SERVER SHORTCUT
"C:\Program Files\dominions2demo\dom2demo.exe" -x --nointro --quickhost --tcpserver --port 7000 --noclientstart --nosound --nomusic --window

CLIENT SHORTCUT
"C:\Program Files\dominions2demo\dom2demo.exe" --tcpclient --ipadr 127..... --port 7000

Thanks Again!

ok im happy that you got it working
the problem might be that you checked the orginal ip from dom2 screen right ?
because it does not show right well it shows the IP of the computer but what people need to know is the gateway for it to work
you can check it by running dos promt
and typing ipconfig
