Networked Play

| Networked Game

Net Play - A networked game is when 2 players are using separate computers to play over a LAN (local area network) or the Internet. One player acts as host for the game by selecting Originate as Server, and the other acts as a client by selecting Join Existing Game. The client player enters the host name or IP address of the server computer on the Locate Session screen. Note: A local game is when both players use the same computer to play, by taking turns. You must click on Start first if you want to start a local game.

First select Net Play. Next you will see the Networked Mode screen. Select the protocol that matches your network, either TCP/IP or IPX. For Internet Play, select TCP/IP. Then select Originate as Server, and choose the type of game to be played. Then the second player (on the other computer) selects Join Existing Game and enters the host name or IP address of the first player’s computer. Then after a short delay while the network connection is completed the game begins.
