I need help with an old game.

[Mad Melvin]

Ok, so I recently had an urge to play Die By The Sword via internet with a buddy of mine. The problem is, that I dont know how to host a game and neither does my friend. There is no "host game" option anywhere. There is a "join game" option, but thats it.
I know its an old game, but if anyone knows how to make the multiplayer work, please tell me.
Yeah, and the reason why I want to play the game is that my radeon is fried and it takes a couple of weeks before I can afford a new one. Im playing with some really old ATI card and a Voodoo 1 right now, so the choices are quite limited.
