How to connect via internet to play my friend in trinity?

from Sins Forums

It is now almost year 2017,.. the future is here.   This game is great!  Why in the world can't I enjoy it over the internet with my friend.  I paid lots for it,... this is ridiculous.  As I read through a complete maze of forum messages that you have to be a network engineer to understand, what the?

The multiplayer Trinity manual on page 15 states absolutely nothing about the headaches, pain, agony of wondering if you can ever play over the internet?  please tell me someone in the world can give me step by step guide to play this game over internet with my friend.  I have comcast internet.

 

It appears this popular pdf doesn't exist anymore??  Networking_and_SINS_by_the_Monk.pdf

 

PLEASE someone help, thanks

The proper response to this post is probably "what the?" but I will behave myself.

 

Start game, click Multiplayer.

If hosting, pick map, decide on options, click Create.

If not hosting, click Join Game, type in address of host, click Connect.

 

I'd say I worry for the species if we're getting too dumb to use the internet, but I wrote us off already so it's all good. :)
