lan

I am trying to run a lan game with my younger brother using this mod, however lan is no longer avaliable on the steam version of COH so i tried to download an older version of the mod to play on the retail version that still has lan capability. however i cannot get it to start, this is extremly frustrating as i dont understand why it wouldnt work when everything says it should. can someone please help me!

From what I understand after reading the stickies, the mod only works with the newest version, which is 2.7.0.  There's a compatibility patch for 2.6, not sure how stable it is though.

Ive tried installing the patch and to no avail, I'm not sure if I'm simply not putting it in the correct place or not, i have managed to get an older version of the mod to work on the non steam version, but when i launch it, an error "cannot verify media" pops up and then shuts down the game? is there another step you know of to get around that?
