October 19, 200818 yr The best way I've found to get Multiplayer to work is by using Hamachi in combination with the 'HW Virtual Serial Port'.(first reported by krystophv, available here: http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html ) Hamachi networks:I've found a total of 14 networks, most labelled 'swrebellion' or 'swrebellion1/ 2/ 3...etc' (there's 1-12 that I know of), all with the password 'starwarsrebellion' (except 'swrebellion7'). There's also 'swsupremacy', which has no password. (P.S. if there are any active players on network 'swrebellion7', is there any chance I can get the password?) Using HW's VSP: After installation and starting, click 'Login', password 'admin'. If login is greyed out, try uninstalling and re-installing VSP -this happened to me first time around when it told me to reboot after installation. Hint: Don't reboot, it's not required. One person checks the 'TCP server mode' box in the Settings tab. Then in the Virtual Serial Port tab creates a com (Com 3 or 4 are the only ones available once in Rebellion) with their own Hamachi IP address and any port (we used port 1000 and 'External NVT Commands Port' was checked: port 2003).Click 'Create com' and it should report: LAN status -listen. The other person creates a com with the same numbers, using the 1st person's Hamachi IP.Click 'Create com' and it should report: LAN status -connected. That's it, go in game and use 'Serial Connection for Direct Play' (using whichever Com no. you picked in VSP, leave all other settings as is). So far, I know of half a dozen people who have tried this and it has worked. (many thanks to JediIgor and krystophv)
