I was wondering if Vistas Firewall could be blocking MS Direct play as I was asked this while logging off the Dyna.

Have you tried it with the firewall shut down? With specific exceptions in the firewall for the necessary ports?

Check earlier in this thread, we tried running with the Vista firewall completely disabled (as well as stopping its service and all associated services).

I'm not even convinced this is a directplay7 emulation issue. I suspect it goes deeper to the actual windows sockets implementation in Vista. (wsock32.dll - a primary dependency of StarFleetOP.exe which in turn depends on ws2_32.dll [windows sockets 2])

Interestingly, I cannot find any of the directplay dlls in the dependency list for StarFleetOP.exe at all. (as generated by HeavenTools' PE Explorer)

Installing Windows 7 Beta now and getting all my software put on it.. will let you know once I get configured if D2 will work correctly..

Word of warning.. I ran into many program problems doing an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.. I recommend if you intend to run Windows 7, do it from a clean install.. Install time with my rig was 40 min.
