If you are running on LAN then it's pretty easy.

1.) Start a Local Server.
2.) Have you friends got to the Multiplayer and then Join Local.
3.) Double click the Local Server.

So he has a local server but you aren't in a LAN.

What happens if you just use the 'Connect to IP' button ?

Re: Local Server Support

Are you able to ping the server from another machine ?

Re: Local Server Support

This depends if you have 1 or more machines on your network. If you have more then set one up as a dedicated server. Then create a rule in your firewall/router to forward traffic to the internal IP of that box. Then give your m8's your ip address and they will be able to connect. It'll be only low numbers however as BB has a slower Up speed.

Its the same if you are hosting and playing on the same machine.
