Multiplayer Help via GameSpy

[DaggothJr.]

Whenever I try to play multiplayer and once I join a game, once the host starts (or when I start if I try to host), I get ejected from GameSpy and sent to the main screen of PTW. But then it also has frozen, so I have to end task and reboot the game. I don't know what the problem is, and I've tried fiddling with the ports... Any suggestions?

You should enter games from game itself. Start your game(PTW or C3C) which ever you are playing. CLick multiplayer and enter room you want to join. Launcing game from gamespy sometimes doesn't work and sometimes cause some lag for game. It's better to join direct from game. Everyone in ladder has find this to be best way to join mp games.

Join directly from game? Can you explain step by step? Forgive me for my only newbness.

You launch game like you would play sp game. When you are in first screen of game you select multiplayer game. Then you click internet game. After that you should be connected into lobby and you will see all the games and can join straight from game. This is the way to join games. I personally just use gamespy to search good games and chat with friends. Gamespy is no good for starting game.

Thanks for the help, but a few more questions; how can I host but not get kicked back out? How can I do a LAN game? And how could I have multiple people playing off of the same computer? I apreciate the help.

I do this and still the game kinda freezes after the 20 second to connect to host pop goes away. I'm pretty sure I disabled all firewalls, what else could do I need to do? I have 1.22 C3C.
