Registration Process

The following is the steps you have go through in order to get the Internet play working. Just follow the steps.

1. After going to Heat.net, you have to login by putting in your user name and password, then press play now, but do not select a game.
2. When you login you will see a list of games on the right side of the screen in red print. Above the featured game is a pull down menu, that by default says, "Alphabetical." Click on it and change it to the heading that says other.
3. Now you have another list of red links on the right side of the screen, click on the one that says "PlayOtherGame".
4. On the main menu screen you should see a option that says "Play Now". Click on it. It will load the heat.net program. (Their will be a update when you do this, and yes you must go through it every time. I feel your pain!)
5. Now that you have finished the update, you will notice that you are in a room with other people in it, who you can chat with.
6. To play a game with your opponent, one you must create a new game. (each of those icon things with a title are games being played) You can either click on the menu bar that says New Game or click on the Icon that says new game. By the way, make sure each of you know the name of the room being created, or you could just make it a easy name like "fifa game."
7. Now that you both are in a room, one of you is the mediator (usually the one who created the room). The mediator must launch the game, but the opponent must first press "ready to play."
8. Now the RIPX is being activated, which will make your computer think you are on a LAN. This will make a network type environment.
9. A little menu says RIPX is activated and your Windows screen is displayed (if something else is displayed, such as your Web Browser, just minimize or close it).
10. Now just go to Fifa as you normally would if you were playing yourself.
11. When you have reached Fifa99, click on the option that is for Multi-player play.
12. When you get their click on the small arrow near the top of the screen that displays the type of Multi-player connection. It will either be: Serial, modem, or network. Put it on Network.
