My copy may be the only one. The other computers do not have internet access. Just over the Lan

Heyyo,

First try getting that comp's IP and then do a direct connect, if that fails? then you probably need to patch them up. I suggest patching up to HaloPC v1.05, or if you want full-pachage then do HaloPC v1.06. I suggest v1.05 since it's more stable.

If still probs? then you probably are runnig them on the same cd key aren't ya? make sure they all have diff cd keys.

If still you have probs? check your connections, make sure they're right. get each computers local ip, and then try pinging them from eachother's comps.

To do this, go Start > Run > cmd

Now, type ipconfig, and your ip address should be there. Usually should start with 192.168.***.*** so yeah, there ya go.

next, try pinging it from the other comps. for example ip of comp 1 is 192.168.2.100 and you go on comp 2 and type this in the command prompt:

ping 192.168.2.100

now, if they're connected properly it should say an average response time in ms (milliseconds). If it sais packets lost? then your comp's aren't setup right. Might be ports not open on any firewalls or a router.
