Hi guys, I'm a new forum member, long time Blood fan (I am 13. I'll not lie to you fellow bloodites. Back in the worshipped year of 1997, when my dad was still a gamer, one of his friends bought blood and I borrowed it and "forgot" to return it ), and have been lurking about Transfusion's forums for about 3 months now. I finally decided I'd join and so here I am.
I've done this too, just now actually. My brother and I did some co-op. We had some problems, due to one computer not running VDMS and having to run Blood with crap sound, but it remained synched for the most part and we got to Phantom Express without any errors. We didn't play past Phantom Express because he was getting bored. I find him to be clinically insane. He rarely plays Blood despite having complete access to it. Either way, we did the exact procedure described here. We COULD have had 3 computers running it, but mine was having NetBIOS problems. The two computers used had Win XP, Pentium 4s and slightly old soundcards. This is pretty much just for reference to anyone wanting to try it, it took much mucking about with stuff though, and I might be able to answer questions about it.
I'd say I've done enough introduction as well as posting...

Hi Necrosis, i might need ur help. We are trying to set up a LAN connection with two Win XP PCs. We start with VDMSound and low level network support enabled. We find each other with commit(using ver 1.4, blood ver. 1.11) but everytime short before the game should be starting, it locks up with the msg: "waiting for network players" after "initializing sound system".
If that problem ist well known to you, please help us.

Well i have played Blood Lan on Xp it is possible. but for some unknown reason is stopped working when my bro upgraded his system haveen't really struggled with it too much but it has some thing to do with IPX being installed i think
as far as i know thought as long as you've got the latest Commit it should just work
