Author Topic:   IP address confirmation

Something that was extremely useful in Civ 2 that could be implemented easily in SMAC is that whenever you host a multiplayer game in Civ 2, it pops up with your OWN IP before you start the game. This is good because it's a pain in the butt to get your IP to send to people who want to join your game. If you would just add that simple window with a text field that you could copy text from containing your IP then it'd make starting TCP/IP games much faster.
