To start a TCP/IP game, click "Start A New Game", then see "Starting A New
Game", below.

Troubleshooting: Run NETTEST.EXE if you experience problems with TCP/IP
games. It may be able to detect certain problems with your network
configuration. Again, it's unfortunately beyond the scope of a game readme
file to attempt to troubleshoot a TCP/IP network. Try using Windows' Network
Control Panel, and take it from there.
