My brother and I are trying to play Armada 2 via GameRanger, and it looks like it is trying to create a game via Gamespy, which obviously doesn't work, instead of VLAN. GameRanger forums are pretty dead, and internet searches have come up empty.
Is anyone playing multiplayer? How did you get it working? Are you using another 3rd-party application like GameRanger, or is there a mod that has multiplayer support?

When you're using GameRanger, you need to use the Local Area Network (TCP/IP) option in multiplayer, not Internet. Internet will still attempt to connect to the GameSpy servers.

We rarely play the original version of Armada 2, but when we do we use Radmin VPN. It works with all the Armada games and it's mods. If you want to test it, just let me know :)
