Hmm. I didn't think you could connect over mag chat. Is this a new feature?

You don't need autoconnect. It's quite simple to play a game over magchat:

1. find somone on who wants to play
2. go to your TCP/IP control panel and find your IP-give it to the other guy.
3. go to ares and click Host Game.

Other guy now:
1. go to Ares and click join game, type in IP.
2. play ares Posted Image

oh yeah-if you're behind a router or something(airport base station) you'll need to look in your router's settings for your IP instead, the one in TCP/IP will be local and others wont be able to connect to it.

Heh i was on the server alright but there is obviously an issue with the connect process. Perhaps irc.enterthegame.com #magleague for finding games instead ( or #ares on irc.ambrosia.com ?)

wow...so you know every single person on magchat and these webboards? Posted Image

I think you're confusing IRC(chat app) with ICQ(instant messenger)

Talking about IRC or ICQ [what ever] doesn't fix my problem. I need some real help.

MaG hotline has been down for months, heh. but you can connect to magleague chat if you're looking for a game or something. Odd that both GR and MaGChat servers would go down on the same day...lol.

Its an evil plot to destroy mac gaming.

Um...Taylor I thought you couldn't play net games -- remember the time we tried and it failed? Have you upgraded?

Ok my first attempt at a picture on these web boards: Posted Image
