I'm having problem getting a multiplayer Dukes game to work - all the comps are using Ck1.04 beta, Solmyr's Smack, Byakhiam's many kingdom scenario, and I modded the save game file to show our chars we created with Jakko's rules. The game works in single player on all computers - everything loads correctly.
When I host the game and others join, CK tries to compress the save file and send it to them, but runs into an error - unknown string wanted. I transferred the save game through a cd and CK still tries and fails to send the file, even though both computers already have the file. Any clue as to why CK does not notice that the other computers already have the file or any other fix short of a full reinstall?

Well, CK betas before a certain patch (nov iirc) were incompatible with MP due to save transfer bug. So if you didn't have either nov 18th or feb 3rd beta, that is the problem. Your problem sounds awfully like that, though if you do have nov 18th or feb 3rd, then I'm puzzled.
Ah, that would explain it. I was able to get our modded characters to work by modding the manykings_characters.txt, but couldnt continue later saves. I am using the oct 10 beta so that must be it -- when I first d/led the beta I didnt scroll down to see that the newest was at bottom. Thanks again!
Edit: Yup, that fixed it, thanks

I could have made it, but I guess not playing is better as I would have had to catch a train at 12:30.
Just noting that between playing World of Warcraft and doing tons of other stuff, I'm kinda unable to get up on a Sunday morning to play CK. So I guess we should put the game on hold for a while.

That's fine. Though I do feel obliged to tut at you a bit for getting sucked into that whole World of Warcraft thing.
Yeah, why anybody would need internet RPGs when they can have nice and interesting RPGs for free on SNES emulators...

I'd be recruiting you actively, but we can't play on the same servers, so you are getting off this time.

I'll count my lucky stars for that one, then.
