Snails online- in the cradle?

Raptor_dss · 06-28-03, 09:03 PM

Ok, so i have no internet for my ppc, but can i play online IN the cradle? I know its connected to the net, it downloads stuff for journal bar. When i go into snails and do a search (at a pre-scheduled time people are supposed to try) no games show up.

Is there anyway i can set that up to work?

I just started playing an online game of Hearts while my Axim was in the cradle. I wonder why it won't work for snails. What website are you trying to access?

Hmmm i can log on to the net while in it. When i think about it its probably just that noones hosting a game.

Would anyone care to coordinaste a game of snails with me as a test?

I have no idea how to play, but would be willing to try to help you out later today. I have to go to work now *boohoo*

I didn't have to set anything. Just stuck my Axim in the cradle and started the game. You have to have internet access for your PC, of course. ;).

Am I reading this right that you have to be a registered user to play online?

Just open IE and go for it :). I think some websites will not work for PPC, though.

Oh sorry, didnt know you had to be registered for onlnie. THanks anyway =)

killer- thats all you do, just put it in the cradle (cradle hooked up to your comp of course). Then open pocket internet explorer, go to 'view' turn on 'address bar', then type in the address.

But since you have to be on your comp not much of a point to surfing other then to test it.

I have downloaded the demo to try. It might be fun to get a little tournament or something going if there are enough people who like the game.
