Re: completely clueless newbie
You have to wait a bit for an answer. 15 minutes isn't long enough to wait before you can be certain someone has seen the thread who may know the answer to your question.

Anyway I've never tried a LAN/IP game on FS1 but the proceedure is probably quite similar to that for FS2 which you can find here.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

Re: completely clueless newbie
In the future, if you have multiple questions at a single point in time, make ONE thread for them, k?


What you and your friend want to do is play an IP game. Both of you will have to specify eachother's IP address in the game's options screen and select to play a game that way.


EDIT: Or LAN if you're in the same network. As Kara said.

Re: completely clueless newbie
There are only 2 ways. LAN or IP. There is no more PXO for FS1. Don't know if it will be added again in the future, there's little point.

Re: completely clueless newbie
As long as you both hae each others IP address, a connection between the computers, and a computer that will run Freespace, that should be fine :)
