Red Alert 2 multiplayer

[Smurfen]

I wonder if it is possible to play Red Alert 2 over the TCP/IP protocol.
I want to play i in my spare time at school with some classmates, but we dont have the privilegies to install the IPX protocol.

yes. One computer has to host the game, the rest join it.

i have done this. RA2 and yuri's revenge require IPX/SPX protocol to play multiplayer over a local network. many games require this for this purpose. what you can do is play over the internet and just create a password protected game. give your friend the password. i'm sure your school doesn't even allow you to play games on their machines.
