GTA 2 network game, got connection but no ping

Hi,

When playing a GTA2 multiplayer and I host a game my mate can connect to me
but he has no ping. When starting the game he gets a black screen and is
being kicked out of the game. Firewall is out, router is forwarded.

Does anyone has any idee what could be wrong?

TIA

Is this with an original PC version or the one that's available as
freeware?

The freeware version (www.rockstargames.com/classics ) had a few flaws
in them when it came down to multiplayer. Try a Google search to see if
the FAQ is around, something like "GTA2 multiplayer fixes" worked for
me last time.

It has a step-by-step guide in how to get GTA2 working perfectly in
multiplayer.


Cheers,
Rob
