The Gamespy servers shut down back in 2014. Steam enables MP on their version. I believe there are some alternatives discussed over in our MP forum here, such as Zulan's. I'll direct your thread over there, but please also check out the subforum.

Moderator Action: Moved to MP forum. -cheers lymond

Clone gamespy server for civ4 and civ4 bts. Makes possible for internet lobby to function like before gs shutdown for nonsteampatched version.

How to configure your game so that it joins the clone server.
1) Theory. To get your game to connect to the clone server, redirect all network traffic from/to official gs ip addresses to the address of the clone.
2) Practice. Most easy way I figured is to configure your "hosts" file.
"Hosts" file is situated in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc". You can edit it with notepad and add the entries from sample "hosts" file. Or just replace your "hosts"...
