To begin a multiplayer LAN game select MULTIPLAYER GAME from the Title menu. You
should see the Select Multiplayer Game dialog with Modem/Serial and Network options.
If you see the Select Serial Game dialog, it means that C&C95 has not detected the pres-
ence of IPX drivers and you should verify that these have been installed and configured cor-
rectly for your system.
If all is well, select NETWORK. This takes you to the Join Network Game dialog. Here you
can enter your name, choose your side (GDI or Nod) and select a color for your units and
buildings. There are two windows in the dialog, the Games window and the Players win-
dow. The Games window shows all active game sessions on the current socket. Games which
are closed (in progress) are in brackets, like this: [Player’s Game].
You have two options from this point: you can choose to Join a game or to host a New game
for others to join. You cannot join a closed game.
