Hello.
Me and some friends have desperately been trying to play SMAC over the internet for maybe a week now. It works for three of us, but when the last one connects to a game it gets a lot slower. We haven't really felt like waiting for a game to start, we can start a game, but the loading time is not that nice and we get no messages to drop the last player. He's even tried forwarding all ports to his computer so this is not the problem either.
Today we discovered hamachi, a program to emulate a lan over the internet. But this hasn't been too succesful.
We all use the same version of directx (9.0c), SP2 and everyone has a router (no software firewalls, sp2 firewall unactivated).
We can't seem to find any solution for this problem, all help would be appreciated.
