Consoladating - 1002 error can't patch, no internet

[wannabe]

I'm trying really really hard to be patient and understanding.

I've got this working upto the point of loggin in. Then I get 1002, patch.

I cannot patch. I was told that this install will work, run and allow me to play even if I can't patch.

I've included all the documents that were requested of me and I've been through almost every single friggin post on this message board.

I'm not a tech n00b. From my understanding it should be working. With the small exception of getting the current version fixed.

So how do I get it fixed if I can't patch?

Thanks in advance.
