Guest ckoharik Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 No can do via serial/Parallel/IPX. If you have a LAN, just configure TCP/IP and play that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmead Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 An ethernet card in two machines and a crossover ethernet cable, TCPIP enabled. If you have more than 2 machines you will need an ethernet hub and sthernet cables. A four port hub 10mb/sec is aound 50 bucks. The cards are around 25-35 each. Cossover cable is 5-10, regular ethernet cables are 2-25 depending on length. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lempereur Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Check this site: http://plaza.v-wave.com/escapeclause/small_lan.html Once you setup a LAN you won't want to play via internet any longer. Find someone and play "we fight and die here". You can complete it via LAN in a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
