Battlefield 1942 1.31 No-CD Server Error

[jcahow]

I have multiple copies of the game but I use the No-CD cracks so that I do not have to find the CDs every time we play. I have been using the exact same setup ever since the initial release of the game. I run a Win2K dedicated server that a number of WinXP clients connect to. Everything has worked fine until the last 1.31 patch and No-CD crack.

If I run a WinXP dedicated server then I have no problem connecting with WinXP clients so I do not see how if could be a key issue. My Win2K machine cannot connect to the WinXP machine either. In fact I cannot even get my other Win2K machine now to connect to the first Win2K machine.

I am guessing that it is a problem with the 1.31 game patch or the 1.31 No-CD crack. It does not seem to function correctly on Win2K machines. I am have no problems on my WinXP machines.
