Sorry, folks, the starting guides for newbies don't seem to answer my needs clearly. So I thought I'd ask for a primer.

I've downloaded the current beta. I've downloaded ICQ and gotten a number (260292257). I use WinME behind a router, off a cable modem.

Step by step, what will I need to do to participate in MP at this point?

Thanks in advance. :)

Ok well you need to check your ports, somewhere is a list of which ports need to be opened.

Then since you are in the USA look through some of the North America games and find one that seems to be on at the time you like then ICQ or PM the gamemaster (GM) or host and ask if they need a sub or perm. Cahnaces are there will not be any open spots for a newbie for perm positions but there will be spots for a sub. If you get asked to sub turn up do as your told and play with a long term focus then soon enough you will be allowed to join new games as a perm player. Play well and eventually you will be allowed to play nations of great importance such as France.

Always get to a session 15minutes early, always obey the GM and host, always play long term and always be polite and have fun.

P>S I run a game Dogs of War on Sunday night US time if you are interested ICQ me on 224444767.

You need to forward the ports 2300 to 2400 to your pc. also the port 47624 is required.

Fortunately, it all seems to have been pre-arranged this way. I did nothing but click and play, a real unusual occurrence for a non-Mac computer! :eek:
