ForTy Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Could someone give me a few clues as to how to setup a wireless LAN game between 2 PC's. I've 'created' a server, changed it to LAN but it still doesn't work - any help appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Well, did the other guy connecting to your server look in Local, instead of Internet? Btw, why's it wireless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForTy Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 The LAN is set up in the house between 3 PC's (one's a laptop). It's wireless because of the laptop & the hassle of wires. Main PC is downstairs, 2nd PC is upstairs - these are the 2 i'm trying to set the game up between. Both PC's are set to 'Local' & not 'Internet'. I've disabled zonealarm in case that was the problem but when I run the multiplay I get a 'Hitch' error in the console window & the game doesn't start. Any clues ?

ForTy Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 Thanks - i've sorted it. I'd created a server & had the setting on 'LAN' - you must only do this if you are to use the machine as a dedicated server & not if you want to play the game. So I set them both to 'No', created a server on one & then 'joined' a server on the other. The 2nd PC then found the server after searching & BINGO. Thanks for the help anyway.
