How can I play Heroes of Might and Magic 3 online? Maybe someone knows about some servers or something like that.
And which version of the game is needed for this purpose?

Solution #4: (playing using the Hamachi program)

He posted a step-by-step guide with pictures on how to play via Gamespy here:
/topic/at/38287/
I'll do it through Hamachi soon!

Good instructions.
But there are two points. Gamespy doesn't allow you to play using Russian localized versions of the game, at least those released earlier.
And Hamachi cannot be installed on Windows 98.
I wanted to use free internet at work and can't figure out how.
It is impossible to use a pirated copy there... Nor can I reinstall Windows for the same reason... What should I come up with?

I've played the game for a while, and I usually accessed the multiplayer mode by clicking on the TCP/IP connection option. This displays your IP address, which you then share with the person you want to play with. After that, you click on "create game." The second player clicks on "join" and enters the IP address. If the game versions are the same, the connection is established, and you can start playing.

I've played this game a lot, and I would connect to the Heroes multiplayer using TCP/IP. It displays your IP address, which you would then give to the person you want to play with. Then, you would click "create game." The second player would click "join" and enter the IP address. If the versions are the same, it connects, and you can play.

Yes, I understand everything. I know this myself. The question is, is there anything like Hamachi for Win98? Or how can I use Gamespy with the Russian version, maybe I need to buy a new version?

98. At work – that's just ridiculous; almost all companies, and generally everywhere, still use XP because it's considered more reliable!

Guys, help me out! I'm trying to play Heroes 3: The Shadow of Death with a friend over the network, but I can't connect and create a game. What should I do? I have the version from Buuka on a single disc, and he has it on a compilation.

You have different versions... he has 4.0, and you have 3.0... you can only install the same version.

Guys, please help.
I'm trying to play online with a friend, and we both have the exact same version of the game - Platinum, without any patches, expansions, or anything else. I select TCP/IP, create a server, and give him my IP address, which I find using the ipconfig command, but when he tries to connect, he gets a message saying that IP address was not found. The same thing happens to me when I try to connect to him. We've completely disabled all firewalls, antivirus programs, and everything else.
Please help!

The starting conditions are set in the game when creating a map; that's what you need to specify.

But mine says 12.13.14.15, and I doubt that's the right IP, especially since we already tried it—nothing. My friend has 192.168.0.114, but when I try to connect to him, it tells me the same thing: No such IP.

As far as I understand, this is because my provider is STRIM.
However, searching around the web, I found a potential solution; it didn't actually help me, but it did for my friend.

You download a special program that creates a Virtual Local Area Network for you, your friends connect to it, and now you can play any games as if they were on a LAN.

Download the program here - http://hamachi.cc/download/list.php

Instructions for its use in Russian are here - http://darkcry.pbnet.ru/hamachi.htm

Specifically in Heroes, you need to create the game via TCP/IP.

As far as I understand, it's because my internet provider is STREAM.

I'm also using STREAM and I have no problems... so it seems like you have some kind of connection issue...
