Q: How do I play TA online?
A: You can either play via one of many gaming clients and servers listed here or play via IP.
If you are hosting over IP, go to “multi” after you launch TA, then double click on “Directplay TCP/IP”. Leave the TCP Address blank and click OK. Then click “new” to create the game. You can provide your ip address to others from a site like http://whatismyip.com/.
If you are joining a game over IP, go to “multi”, “Directplay TCP/IP”, enter the ip address provided, and double click the game in the game listing to join. If the host has created the game but you cannot see it, you can try “update”.
If you simply cannot see or join the games another hosts and vice versa, you can try using Hamachi.
