C&C Generals again... version mismatch, modified version?!

[ken2wf]

if someone is playing multiplayer successfully, with the official 1.02 patch, and with a no-cd exe, and with a revised game.dat, can you please give a complete walkthrough of how you got it to work, cuz I've tried practically everything, every no-cd, every game.dat, to no avail. :-(

thanx, ken2wf
