How-To-Play On-line
The digital version requires the proprietary Steam client, which is not available on most platforms. The multi-player there works, but is incompatible with any other version. You need to port-forward 27015 (UDP) in order to host a server.
The original disc release is not playable. Several alternatives to WON.net existed, but they're varying in quality, up-time and most importantly player count. They're only an option if you're playing with friends.
