Now I still need to know how to play CP via network vs. >other progs like Fritz 7. All attempts failed so far. Ok here is one way I wrote it down when I went through it just now. PC1 = Fritz PC2 = CP5.2 1. Get the ip address of PC2. Start a command box: run/cmd in WinNT/2000/XP, run/command in Win95/98/ME Write: ipconfig and hit return Write down the ip number of the ethernet card (typical 192.168.0.1 for home network) If you dont get an ip number check the Windows help or ask again with specifying wich OS you use. 2. Repeat step 1 for PC2 to check that it have an ip address. 3. Start CP5.2 on PC2 and set up the timecontrol and engine you want to use. Select Layout/2D Analysis if you want to see all information when the playing are in progress. 4. Start Fritz on PC1 and set up the timecontrol and engine you want to use. 5. Select Extra/Autoplayer232 on PC2 (CP5.2). Select Port:<network> Select Match master=off Click the ok button. 6. Select New/Two computer match on PC1 (Fritz) Select Auto-232 1.0 Select Server=on Write the ip number for PC2 found in pkt.1 in the server name field. Select Unload after autoplay=on Click the ok button 7. Clik OK to ev. warning message if you agrees with/know of these. 8. Select Master=on Select this game only=off Select opponent save=on Write the Fritz player in engine field Write the CP5.2 player in the opponent field Click the OK button Pkt. 1 and 3 is for PC2 rest for PC 1. If there pop up ev. dialogboxes with checkmate/timeloss el. just leave them there they get closed by the program. Shredder Classic - CP5.2 is a bit fewer clik. Shredder Classic - Fritz, remove extended and fast in Shredder. I got some error move with this on. Odd Gunnar
