If you are on dialup and running the program in full screen, then you need to make a note of your IP address which is shown as the program starts.  If you are running in a window then your IP address will be displayed in the window title bar. 

If you are connected through broadband and your local IP address is different than the one that is exposed on the internet, then you probably already know not to use the IP information displayed by Easy Tank COMMBAT and hopefully know where to find out your correct IP.  As I have never had a broadband connection, you are on your own there.

One of the combatants is the host and the other is the guest.  The guest will need the IP address of the host to connect.

The initial screen displays a turned off ATARI® 2600. This is the COMMBAT skin, the 2D component of Easy Tank COMMBAT.  Press the S key to swap skins to Easy Tank, the 3D component.

On the Easy Tank options screen use the up/down arrow keys to select the CONNECTION option then use the left/right arrow keys to select the INTERNET option. Then press the ENTER key to begin the connection process.

If host: Use the arrow keys to highlight (and the enter key to select) the 
ACCEPT CONNECTION button and then wait for the incoming connection. 

If guest: Use the arrow keys to highlight (and the enter key to select) the 
ENTER HOST IP ADDRESS button. Using the keyboard, enter your opponent's IP address into the program to make the connection.

The battle starts when the bell sounds. The tank is operated with the arrow keys. Forward, Back, Spin left, Spin right. The space bar fires the cannon.  Review the battle control guide for the other features.

At the end of any round you can press the enter key to activate a chat message typing buffer.  After typing a line of chat text, press the enter key to send it to your opponent. Repeat as needed for additional messages. 

The host will control the battle restart.
