Protocol is the language computers use to communicate, in our case, Red Alert 2 uses to communicate with other Red Alert 2s.As you can only play with someone with a similar version. This is not a required step, but assuming almost everybody has done so, it would be prudent if you do so too, to prevent future connection difficulties. And that would be 1.006 for Ra2 and 1.001 patches. Update your Red Alert 2 or Yuri's Revenge to the latest version.Choose a Hamachi nickname like this example player or player, its Russia country tag.You can get it free from their website.Enter the XWIS nickname you created in the Game Account, along with the Game password also supplied.
