How to setup LAN between two laptops !!

G33kgod

Adept
Guys me and my friend wanted to play nfsMW on our lappies on LAN by using some wire perhaps cross cable. But every time we tried it said connection lost :S

Please can you gimme some link for a guide or something :(. We are using vista . In network options our systems were recognised.

HELP !!!!!!!!
 
1. You need a Crossover cable.Cost varies according to the length of wire.

Standard lenght cable from D-Link should cost 80 bucks.

2. Make one laptop the HOST and the other(client) will obviously connect to the host.Note the IP Address of the Host laptop to connect to it.

(This involves configuring the Local Area Connection under Network Connections on both laptops)

4. Once connected, start the game on the host laptop and select LAN.You should be able to see the other laptop(by it's IP address or workgroup name) in the list.

I've tested the same using NFS 2 & CS 1.6 ;)
 
I know how to do this as i play with my buddies in hostel. But i wont tell you coz TE does not support Piracy. And i am surprised to see that "thetoxicmind" being a moderator helping you where he should have closed the thread once it for all..

Peace

First off, I can't close a thread in a section that's not under my jurisdiction.

Second, The original post was reported for taking necessary actions.

After all that, I primarily addressed the issue he was facing( Local Networking), that obviously has nothing to do with piracy.

So don't make such statements here. :no:
 
DEAR JASON

i wrote pirated just to make sure that its not because it i am facing the problem n m not asking frm where or tellin others to DL frm .... so plz chill if moderators think its not right they will perform their duty n i have no objection .....

No hard feelings

peace

@Toxic- buddy can u tell the steps involved in second pt. of ur post ....
 
ok here is the fix for you then if it is a network related problem. Set the default gateway the IP address of your PC and then in your friends pc set the default gateway your IP address. If you add more friends then set default gateway the IP address of the person who gonna host the game...... Enjoy......

I had spent a week trying to fix this when i first got NFSMW

Remember, this fix screws up counterstrike and some other multiplayer games. So for those use the settings which you had before.

Here is a pic which explains the process in detail.:hap2::hap2:

P.S: I can be of help if asked properly.... It was just the word "Pirated " which pissed me..:p:p

U can try hamachi if u both have internet access! :)

Why bother using the internet and worry about data charges & speed? And the Ethernet port will either be used by the modem or the crossover cable unless you bring a router into picture.

The save files are stored in a folder named "NFS Most Wanted" in your My Documents folder under whichever account your logged into.
