How to Play Worms 2 Online [Archive]

I've been reading these forums and every single other Worms forums/pages I can possibly find. I've really been searching all over and have found no solution.

How can I play Worms 2 online?

When I connect to the server, it will let me join rooms, but not JOIN a game. It will even let me create a game, just not JOIN it. The screen pops up with the loading bar, and it goes on forever until it times out.

I'm running Vista.

Please help me with a solution. I'm dying to play Worms 2 (or any 2D Worms game for that matter - but I'd like to get Worms 2 to work to avoid purchasing W:A which I feel is inferior)

This week I've bought Worms 2 and Worms Armageddon. There were like no other players in either of the online lobbys. Single player doesn't load either.

As for Worms World Party, I've just installed that and the online lobby had 6 people in it. SIX, globally, only 6 people online! It seemed that one of us had to host the game, but whenever someone did that it would not let the others connect, giving an obscure error message.
I've tried updating WWP with a "service package" patch thing on the Team17 Website, I've tried editing parts of the game as recommended in the forums, none has worked.
It would appear that no-one plays these games online anymore, but the forums are still looking active, it's strange.

Install the beta updates for W:A. They add support for a dynamic server IP (or whatever you'd call it).

Any match hosted in a fully patched game won't appear in a non-patched game. You do need to fully update your games if you want to play online properly.

Also, any Trymedia versions, or any downloaded versions, of a Worms game can't be patched.

I can't speak for Worms 2 but WA normally has tons of people on it... like 70-80 at least around the time I go on.

Worms 2 is pretty dead these days. Half the time I can't connect and the other there's no one to play with.

I like watching television of satellite direct (http://satellitedirect.net/). Also i taken a crack at the diet solution (http://lilykeywest.com/the-diet-solution-program-review) eat stop eat (http://eatstopeat.net/) to drop some weight current fat burning furnace (http://fatburningfurnace.org/). tinnitus miracle (http://kellyacollins.com/tinnitus-miracle-system-review) ideal for our ear drums. You might use some seo link monster (http://linklava.com/seo-link-monster) link building services (http://linklava.com/) to cart in place involved in the stakes.
