Re: playing on a lan with bots

he indicated he was able to connect starting a lan server

if your pc cannot connect to a game he starts, did you try starting a game and seeing if he can connect? or vice versa?

Re: playing on a lan with bots

could we just get on hamachi :P

I suggest you try it. Hamachi is a fine tool. I played people from UK on LAN with this tool.

Re: playing on a lan with bots

then while he was playing in a single player game i went to multiplayer and click join local and his update because nothing was there

Ryan, this is the only point where the method I've used differs.

I've never clicked on "Join Local". I just click on the Multiplayer tab, stop the update of servers and then click 'Connect to IP' and use the 192.168.0.X address for the other computer.

Perhaps try your method but without clicking on "Join Local" and instead entering the other computer's IP from the Multiplayer list.

Yeah, I understand that the first thing you want to do after you finishing screwing with the game for hours is to just play the damn game. But I always appreciate it when people take the time to come back later and post definitively it was fixed and how. Sometimes I feel like I am just talking out loud to no one when I do that but one never knows who is going to come along later with the same problem.
