I looked up error 0x80158320 with the DirectX Error lookup program, and this is what I get:

HRESULT: 0x80158320 (2148893472)
Name: DPNERR_INVALIDDEVICEADDRESS
Description: Invalid device address
Severity code: Failed
Facility Code: FACILITY_DPLAY (21)
Error Code: 0x8320 (33568)

So I guess this means something like "you didn't install your network card right", or "you're using the wrong connection to connect" (if you both have a LAN and a normal internet connection, or "the port is in use" (if you are trying to host a game).
Maybe you can directly link your modem (no routers/hubs etc.) or try to turn any fancy options off.

Shut up.
i never said that... but no i was just suprised, and sorry if i do sound like the idiot like that but i know alot of girls play.. it's just everyone here (when i joined) were males and i never knew there was a female on this forum

anyway, strange error... Can you acess the internet normally? (k dumb question considering you got into gamespy), but did you move any files after it was installed? Maybe you should just try installing it and then running the patch, without adding any mods or special programs to giants and see if it works...

If all else fails i can give you the giants CD files, considering you own the actualy copy of the game, it could be that there could be something wrong with your CD if it is an older version??

stfu, she solved the damn problem. . . . . . .

no duh she can enter the internet properly. . . how the hell do you think she got to GSA?

Well if you joined here and considered everyone was a male, you would've relized like 2 or 3 people are females
