Re: How to direct Connet to IP?

you are in ONLINE, which means Internet...

I'm in LOCAL since it's a LAN game...

I can connect to internet servers in this laptop, but I can't in LAN... that's my problem... :shakehead:

There must be something wrong with your game.

qtracker will work? since even XFire works... :dead:

1. use qtracker internet/lan browser.
2. profit!
3. ?!?

Re: How to direct Connet to IP?

the game works in LAN very well over here too, to the boring stock game and to my mod too, that's not the problem...

I have 4 machines in a switch via cable, and a wireless router plugged in this switch too, which connect with the laptop over the house...

I can access the files from any machine, I can access internet without problems which the server is in one of these 4 machines, and I can play any game, but only via direct IP or name (\\name) of the machine, but if I click in network doesn't appears the others machines to connect... the same goes to games, I can't only BROWSE, but I can connect everything...

maybe I need to make another thing to browse the entire LAN aside just the Wireless part of it, aside I can access everything, even the printer...

I'll look into this since this game have so much problems to do so simple things....

Re: How to direct Connet to IP?

You can add +joinserver to the shortcut target, no idea if that would work for LAN. It would look something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\BF2142.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +restart 1 +eaAccountName ACCOUNTNAME +eaAccountPassword ACCOUNTPASSWORD +soldierName SOLDIERNAME +joinServer IP +port PORT

You may need to be connected to the internet to get past the login screen.
And you can check the servers ip and port by holding tab right clicking and click on server.
