You probably didn't get a reply since the fact that Descent won't run across a router is documented in the README.TXT file that comes with Descent. I quote from section 3c in README.TXT: "Shareware Descent requires that network players all be connected to the same local network so their packets can be routed directly without intermediate processing by routers. The Registered/Commercial version of Descent will support routing through network servers." So, it shouldn't be surprising that you didn't get an answer; you had your answer in the documentation, and, due to other more pressing matters to fix/reply to, your message was probably put on a very low priority for response. >Pete -- John Price | Reality just | All opinions expressed here are my own. 3D game programmer | isn't what it | In no way should they be confused with Interplay Productions| used to be. | official Interplay policy or opinions. ---------------------+----------------+----------------------------------------
