I've been dying to play it again for some time now but it really doesn't like 64 bit windows 7 for multiplayer, I vaguely remember it not letting me connect or start the game at all no matter what I tried via lan. I think I had trouble even getting the singleplayer campaigns to work either, I don't remember.
It is a little glitchy, I had problems too. It's old enough that making images of the CD on my computer don't really work, either. The colors are a little glitched up with the newer OS, but at least it's not as messed up as Starcraft is on 64bit W7.
Your computer should have an option to use it in 32-bit... That's how I ended up getting it to work.
I have the actual game running, and hamachi active with a friend. When I make a game and he tried to join he simply gets "unable to join game" and that's that, the other way around when I try to join him, he's not even on the list for me to try and join. I'm at a loss for what to try next to fix this.
