    I have been looking for days about how to get the multiplayer thing to work. Me and my friend are trying to play together but everytime we go to play it says can not log into game session. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can get that to work for us?

    The 2 options in the game are TPC and IPX. If you have network IP addresses for both you computers then make one computer join the server using the correct IP address and it should work. That's how I do it anyway.

    I can almost bet it's your firewall. The ones that we have on the 2 machines here won't even pop up to tell you that something needs permission. It just silently denies it.

    Turn off the firewall or at least temporarily disable it for testing purposes and then you'll know.
