i tried a search with keywords from the error, but i got nothin:
MPSetup was unable to detect your internet IP address.
This means that you will not be able to play over the internet.
okay, fine. but what is the reason this thing can't "detect my address"?? Error messages help when they exclaim WHY it can't do something, rather than purely that it cannot do it something.
Furthermore, with proper verbage, the OK button should read "Exit due to Failure" or something, because what's the point of continuing when this is the reason you use the MPSetup?
To clarify, i have two xp pro sp 2 boxes, neither running any firewall (the windows service - in services.msc - is disabled), both over a lan.
That error message is extremely frustrating, and highly useless. The error phase "this means..." actually MEANS NOTHING without any details on how to correct the problem/why the problem occured (at the very least).

THIPX allows you to play C&C95 Multiplayer with up to 4 players,
over the internet or LAN under Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista.
Installation:
===========================
Copy all the files in the zip archive to your C&C95 game directory.
Start CCSetup.exe and configure the following options:
Screen Resolution: 640x480
Hardware options:
Back buffer in Video Memory: On
Allow hardware filled blits: On
Multiplayer Compatability:
Compatable with DOS version 1.07: Off
If you want to host a game you need to make sure your router/firewall
allows/forwards UDP data on port 5000 to your PC.
How to use it:
===========================
Everyone needs to start MPSetup.exe before you want to play a game of multiplayer.
1 player needs to start as host, by selecting the "Host" tab
and giving the displayed IP address to the other players.
The other player(s) needs to select the "Connect" tab and enter the IP address of the Host in the address bar,
when you have done this every player needs to hit the "Start Game" button.
C&C95 will start, in C&C95 select Muliplayer Game and then select Network Game.
Now the host can start a new game and the other players are then able to see the newly created game.
Make sure you all have unique playernames configured!
Still having trouble?:
===========================

Hi everyone.
Forget about my last post, i just found the right patch for the Red Alert and aftermath game, this patch enables the LAN option in the Network menu making posible the LAN Multiplayer game. I dont remember right now the page where i found it, but if u want it just send me a mail to arcangelous_@hotmail.com asking for it and i will send you the patch.
Tanks to everyone.
