i got this off another forum someone had posted
This is for Tiberian Sun, running multiple players, using the LAN
option
The problems I typically saw were:
- couldn't see the other player in the lobby
- saw the other player, but lost them when they started a game
I am running multiple PCs behind my firewall, using a wireless router.
All PCs have Win XP.
1. Start by verifying all of the PCs have the IPX protocol available.
- go to Network Connections
- right click on the connection you are using (I use my wireless
connection)
- right click on properties
- check the list of protocols shown, look for one that starts
like NWLink IPX/SPX/....
- if it is there, then go to the next step
- if it is not there, then click install, select protocol, now
select NWLink IPX/SPX/....
- it should now show in the list of available protocols
2. Now you will set up the IPX protocol
- Select the NWLink IPX/SPX/... (in the window)
- Click on properties
- The first box is Internal Network Number - this must be
DIFFERENT for each PC. I just added a 1, on the end
for the first PC, then a 2 for the second, etc
- Now go down to Frame Type. I set this to Ethernet II
on ALL PCs
- Set the Network Number to all 0's on ALL PCs, this one
must be the same for ALL
- Click ok, close it up, and then start TS
3. Recommendations without verification
- Don't have TS open when you do these settings, boot it
up averwards
Here's the website is used to figure this out - seamed a little
complicated.
