Norton isn't that great, but it should be ample protection.

Paranoid is Paranoid

True 'dat. If someone is paranoid enough, no matter what you say, they will not be convinced. That would be most grandparents, and most parent's that don't know much about computers. (ESPECIALLY mine)

My solution would be get your own computer and your own internet connection. It's what I did.

...........and your computer still functions at all properly? Virus/Malware software isn't designed to work with others of the same kind (virus with virus and malware with malware). I'm surprised your antivirus programs haven't exploded at each other yet.

C and G.

I would love to play in the online tournament like I used to, but every time I have tried following the directions, something ends up not working with RTS, and I don't know where to start with Hamachi. Plus I don't have a lot of time to spend figuring it all out and playing.

Your dad is a computer programmer and he's got you running all that? What does he program, Dora the Explorer video games?

I think the biggest thing is there's a lack of interest in playing redemption online. It starts out with limited time to play, which is understandable, but then when you're ready to play, no-one is online to play against. So that carries over to ROOT. So, in my opinion, it's not nessarily a ROOT problem, it's a problem with people not really wanting to play online.

Maybe he programs viruses and needs to test them.

I'm betting that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. A few months ago, there were tons of people on pretty much all the time. These days, there's hardly ever anyone on. I bet it started with a few people getting more busy for finals, but then it just snowballed with people saying "oh, it's harder to find games so I'll just leave" starting a domino effect.

That's probably true. Hopefully with redemption live or whatever it's called that will increase interest in playing online because right now, it's about the lowest I've seen it in my time on the boards.

It's just around the corner! This may be another reason people don't play.

I think the 16-person limit on Hamachi is a significant draw-back to people feeling like there are people online. If everyone could join a single group, then there would almost always be multiple people online looking for a game. But with the current limit of 16 people in a group, the only way to see everyone is to join a ton of groups. But groups have to be consistently updated, or they become useless because they are full of people who don't play anymore, or full of old accounts that people have switched to new ones.

I've looked in the past for a replacement for Hamachi to fix this problem, but so far I haven't been able to find anything that is as simple to set up and use, and free, and has unlimited group size.

Those don't allow you to connect over a VPN, which is what RTS needs.

As far as I can tell, there's only about 2-3 on hamachi at any given time. Not counting later at night. And those people are usually idle'n.

and whats wrong with whatismyip.com using actual tcp/ip connections like the net was meant for

Daniel TS RED · « **Reply #49 on:** December 09, 2010, 10:39:07 AM »

That was the old school way of playing RTS games. Only a few people could host though because of firewall/PC issues. Hamachi/RTS is probably the best way. It's not a program thing imo, it's a lack of interest and limited online player base.
