I wanted to take my friends on in SWBF2 with all computers using the same wireless internet connection. Since you cannot play with more than one computer on normal online/multiplayer with the same IP address, the other option is to set up LAN, so I attempted to do that, but the other computers couldn't find the game/server I set up. I looked around online for help, but the only help I could find was to directly connect the computers with a cord. Please inform me if I can't do it with this game, but with most other multiplayer games it is really simple to set up a wireless LAN.

Could anyone tell me step-by-step how to set up an LAN via wireless internet/modem or ad-hoc?

Thanks,

It is possible to play with the same IP under a different key. It's been done numerous times.

But that aside, if you want LAN, you have to make a server with Server Manager. The in-game way directs the server publicly to the master list.

In order to use Server Manager, you need to install this first: http://www.fileplanet.com/160811/160000 ... r-%5BPC%5D

Hey thanks Draigun, it didn't even cross my mind to give that a try.
