Title: FS2_Open LAN option?
Post by: TheMindFrame on July 21, 2007, 03:23:05 pm

Hello folks,

I was wondering if there was a way to set up multiplayer games in a LAN, instead of online through FS2net.

Yep. Simply go to Options -> Multi and turn off the lit PXO button. You may need to add the IP address of the server though.

Thanks, I did that, but I can't see it.  My friend's right here and connected but we can't see it no matter who creates the game

Could be a firewall problem. Make sure that both firewalls are allowing traffic on port 7808 to pass freely.
