Me mates are having another get together for ET, 5 pc’s playing online via Broadband - weve managed to do it 3 times before, and when you get the right server there are no ping problems.
This time i was hoping to do some offline play but this is something er havent done and im expecting problem, He has a router attached to his Broadband, should we take it off line and use that ( freeing it up for 6 machines ) or should we use a Netgear switch??
Are there ports to be opened or something?? If so, where do i do that.
I was going to use Highboys Custome Server generator as ive no experience setting up LAN games - anyone used it before??
Any tips / advice would be appreciated as i plan on getting steaming drunk and dont want to have to be the one who sorts out 5 other drunks PC’s!!
