The message is like " unable to locate the program input getaddinfo in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll "(my system is chinese Win2000, so i translate the message by google)
In my friend's win-xp, It's running ok.
Any one can help me? Thanks very much!
that dll is part of winsock2 if i'm not mistaken. try to find newer version for w2k.

Yes there was some info in the patch notes aout improving network performance, so maybe they included a new winsock dll but never bothered to check it against a machine running 2000. Check the date on your current dll and see if it is new, if it is try replacing it with the original from the win 2000 disk.

It seems like it's a known windows bug :

And MS is explaining how to fix it

that fix will only work for the devs though, we can't know where we have to edit that, and we wouldn't be allowed to edit the game files either

If you have an XP disk somewhere, try using a VM.

Same problem here, but without an OS upgrade available we're stuck out of game.
