Well, it's possible that it has something to do with that alien-ized RPM I sent
you - but I doubt it.  It's also possible that the networking works slightly
differently in C&C3: TW than it does in C&C3: KW.  I've been testing with KW so
I'll try to do some additional testing with TW.

Hamachi's IP is not selected by default?  As I've indicated, I don't use
Hamachi so my testing is on a real LAN.  It's possible that things are only
working on the default IP and something goes wrong when you switch to a
secondary IP.  You said you also tested on a LAN, when you did this was the
correct IP selected by default?

I doubt this impacted it working. Only the list of IPs that would be affected,
though showing multiple instances of the same IP is undesirable and I'll look
into fixing it.
