Red Alert 1 Online
NOTES:
1) Red Alert Online does not work well with routers and some connection
types. Consider connecting directly from your cable/DSL modem to your PC or
setting up a DMZ on your router.
If you have a router and you have connectivity problems after following the instructions above click here for a guide to configuring your routher and firewall to play C&C games
2) Red Alert must be running while a game is set up in Westwood Chat.
3) Registering your nickname.
Registering a nickname on XWIS is as simple as logging in.
You no longer need to use the Westwood Registration pages, or the account
creation menu in your game.
Simply connect to XWIS, and login with your desired username and password.
Once you have logged in that nickname is automatically registered for you.
