Steveareno Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Is it possible to do this? I have an iMac and a new Dell PC, they both have ethernet connections. Can I connect them together through the ethernet connection and play a multiplayer game. If so, do I need any special software? TIA!

GNFAN Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Yes you can do this. No special software needed on either machine. You have two choices to hook them together, First and not my favorite choice is to use an ethernet crossover cable. The second way, and best way (IMHO) is to use an inexpensive ethernet hub and connect the computers to the hub using regular ethernet cables. Set both computers to use DHCP and they will grab an IP address with a 169 prefix like 169.154.32.100 or something. Then you should be able to play CMBB over the network. BTW - I have done this for other reasons but playing CMBO or CMBB is the best one yet! Hope this helps David [ February 22, 2003, 07:06 PM: Message edited by: GNFAN ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
