This post by ChelseaFan88 should be up there with the sticky ones. I am often bothered by people wanting to know how to play online.
Starting Network Games:
OK, here goes:
1) Find someone (or many people) you want to play against who has the same version of CM as you. It is best to be in constant contact with them via MSN or a similar instant message programme.
2) Decide which league you want to play in. It is best to pick your teams in advance to avoid dispute.
3) Load up CM01/02 to the main menu
4) Click on 'Network Play'
5) One Player must be chosen as host. This should be the player with the fastest internet connection. He/She should click on 'Start Network Game'
6) Enter a 'Network Game Name'. This can be anything you choose - it doesn't matter and you dont have to remember it.
7) Pick the league you want (it's best to only have one league) and click the 'selected' text next to it. Then click 'continue' in the bottom right hand corner. You can also take attribute masking off at this point if you so desire.
8) When this has finished loading a box will pop up saying 'You may now remove the CM01/02 CD at any time'. Click 'OK' to that and, surprise, surprise, you may remover the CD at any time although you should have it in to save. I find it best to leave it in the whole time.
9) Type in your name as normal and press continue.
10) Select Nationality as normal and click continue.
11) Pick you team as normal and click take control as normal.
12) You should now be on the manager status screen. There is an IP address in the top left (ish) of the screen. This is very important. Give this to everyone else who is joing in your game.
13) The other players all go to 'Network Play' and click 'Join Network Game'.
14) They type in the IP address you gave them and click continue. Then they pick there teams as normal.
15) When you are all ready, all click finish in the bottom right hand corner of the manager status screen.
Restoring and Continuing Network Games
1) When you want to restore a saved network game, the host goes to 'Network Play' and clicks 'Restore Network Game'.
2) He picks a name for the game, it can be different to the original name.
3) He selects the game from the list of the saved games. If ytou have lots of saved games, like me, then be sure to save it as something memorable.
4) Load it up as normal.
5) Give the IP to the other players as normal, and they click 'Join Network Game' as normal and do the same as above only re-taking control of their own teams rather than new ones.
Confusing, I know. Give it a try, however, and you'll soon get used to it. If you want some practise get in touch with me and I'll give you a network game or put you in one of my others that I have running.
Hope this helps,
