This is one of the most popular muliplayer options for Warcraft II. it
connects you to an online service where you can join or create your own games
and compete with up to 8 of your friends or complete starngers that don't
speak english for that matter. To connect, simply go to the battle.net option.
It will turn to a new screen. If it needs to dial up to the internet, it will
minimize and start dialing. You might even have to connect manually before
you start to connect to b.net. Once in, select your user name and type in
your pass word. If you don't have an account, then go to "Create New Account".
Direct Connect
Well, if you have two computers in your house that are connected together
with a LAN, then you can play head to head, well, you also have to have
another copy of the game, so if you can, just burn one. After that, you
compete like it's a battle.net game. This type of game only supports two
people, so if you need more, go to battle.net.
Modem
In this type of connection, two people can connect up their modems for a head
to head, or with computer opponents match up. To connect, one player must set
their option as "Call" and the other person set it as "answer" The person that
has there's set as "Call" pushes connect. This will send a phone call to the
person set up as "answer" When the phone rings in that person's house, they
must push Connect. Then he will be dialed into the other persons modem. You
will be brought to a menu where you can choose your map, number of computers,
etc.
Clans
A "Clan" is a group of people on Battle.net. Almost like a club. They
usually have initials in front of their user name, example: SinfulEra(OD).
The initails could mean a lot of things, but in this case, they mean OverDosed.
Usually, the clan will hold tryouts where other members of the B.net
community will join the game and test their skills to see if they're good
enough to join the clan. Most clans will have their own channels. You know,
the chat room things. A lot of them even have something called a "bot" this
is a program that boots up and looks like a person inside of the channel,
except beside their name, it will say "Chat" Bots can do lots of things.
They can ban people from the channel, they can make it so that only the clan
members can enter the channel, etc. They are found all over the net for
downloads.
Everything else is explained in my Basics page.
