hmm thats weird, all i can say is that perhaps its cuz u downloaded it, and ive got it on disk the db i uploaded requires the cd. unless anyone else who has it on cd has the same problem?
now i try again tomorrow and i try changing things.

Someone else said that he managed to make it work. SO maybe im doing it badly.

im thinking that perhaps mounting a cd image onto ur drive will fool the pc into thinking that its actually running off a cd, but dont ask me how its done, even i cant get it right, all i know is that it requires sumthing called alcohol 120%

@Juve_Kosova how did you get the game then? if you installed it from a original cd, you can just take a copy of that one and then change the compatibilty in the properties of your fm.exe file to Windows NT, ofcourse requiring you have Windows XP as your current operating system.

alcohol is the same as daemon tool or nero tool.. u can just use any tool that can mount a cd image... that should be the same!!

ok i got Daemon tool now..
i did install it.. and i also did install fm 2006...
what do i do now? how do i make the computer think im using the real cd???

i did that but it says Error... and nothing happends...

anyway, i might have done this wrong.. i mean, when u mount an image..
what has to be done first.. do i burn a copy of the game, and then mount an image?.. or do i put the image in the fm folder and then burn a cd..??
hmm hard to explane...

anyway thanx for helping.. hope you have more info about all of this..

hey.. u shud have a file with .iso extension.. then what u need to do is..
before u play any game, u open daemon tool, mount the cd image.. the cd image (fm 2006 file with .iso extension) should be placed in your computer. after you mount it, u can see from the daemon tool that the Fm2006 cd has been mounted.. then after that.. if you have set the properties correctly, u can just double click on the icon and u are set to play.. if it doesnt work, try to set it back to normal and set it back to windows nt and restart your computer. it should work..

Hey guys..
I could not manage to play the game online..
I only can play with housemates in the same unit (where we share the internet connection) and I couldnt play with other friends from different unit with different internet connection.
what happen is, I have already made a server name and then i checked the 'run as server'. then i create a new game. SHOULD MY FRIEND create a new game too? or not?

in my case, i did not ask my friend to create a new game because I am the server.
then i gave him the server ip address.. I have two server addresses.. the ip address shown on my fm2006 is like this "192.168.0.4 / 58.175.0.24". i gave him both.. what should he put when he connects?

on his screen, before joining any network game, there is no server available at all even after i created a game and after i checked 'run as server'. SO i asked him to click on other servers and put the ip address of mine. but it couldnt work..

anyone can help me? why cant i play with people with different internet connection and ip address?

i also have the same version of Fm2006 and I had turned off my firewalls for this..

help!!!
thanks
