Hello fellows.

I see questions like “Can this game still be played online?” or “Is it possible to play multiplayer game?” appears periodically. So in this topic I want to summarize my knowledge on this subject. Well, I won’t describe the old method concerning IPX/SPX protocol installing & configuring. Cause there are many requirements.

Install Hamachi (http://filehippo.com/download_hamachi/) or Tunngle (http://www.tunngle.net/downloads/) software. I’ll describe 2 methods below.
The first one became possible thanks to user Cugo. I made it crystal clear, file(s) for multiplayer game via Hamachi or Tunngle in one archive ~ 190kb (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9043120/Dune2k%20Files.7z)
For 32 bit WinXPVista&7 OS. It's universal, both for 1.02 & 1.06 game versions & it don't modify the game files! See ReadMe inside.
The second method (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9043120/Dune%202000%20LAN%20x64%20Compatible.7z) is known for a long time, thanks to user XAHTEP. Should work in x32 & 64 bit OS, but for 1.06 Dune2k version only.

You may also use GameRanger to play Dune 2000. But afaik GameRanger supports 1.02 game version only & it's rather lagy & unstable way to play Dune2k, especially if more than 2 ppl playing... (I wouldn't agree with you, I had great times playing with my 2 friends through this app - AwM)

PS. You may download a full 1.06 game here: https://gruntmods.com/Projects/Downloads/Dune_2000/
or portable (without videos, no need to install) 1.02 (suitable for GameRanger) here: http://netload.in/dateiqNKvDeo5zk.htm

PPS. Look through this guide about Hamachi gaming & Tunngle Troubleshooting Thread if you have questions/troubles.
