LAN Issues
For the last few days I've been trying to run a LAN game for the first time. I think I'm setting it up right but then when my bro goes into the 'join local game' screen it just searches and searches and searches.
I see two problems.
1 - I'm not setting it up properly and I need your help.
2 - There's a problem at his end and it's not picking up my game. In which case I need help to remedy the situation.
Please help me! I loved playing this game online when I first got it a few years ago but now I can't thrash my brother to the point of tears.
Eagerly awaiting your replies,
Sam

On the first computer, host a game. on the second computer click in the menu join multiplayer game and here, type the IP of the first comp and join this IP. To know the IP hold windows key and hit R, type cmd, then in MSDos type ipconfig. It will give you your internal IP and the IP provided by your ISP (that you dont have to use).
If it still doesn't work, open these ports in your firwalls :
TCP,UDP 19711
UDP 15000 16375
UDP 8911

Incorrect. It will only show his internal IP (starting with either 192.168 or 10.x.x.x) unless he's using a different network card for his LAN connection than his Internet connection, which is unlikely. To display his external IP he'd have to go to a site like www.whatismyip.com or IPChicken.Glude wrote:It will give you your internal IP and the IP provided by your ISP (that you dont have to use).
