Configuring your Connection
Click Start
Click Connect To
Click on Show all connections
Right click on your network connection (not Internet)
Click Properties
Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to highlight it
Click on the Properties button just below
Choose 'Use the following IP address'
Under IP Address for type in: 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your routers IP address is)
Click on 'Subnet mask' and this will be put in automatically (if not, type in: 255.255.255.0)
Under default gateway (for those with routers, this is where you put your router's IP Address. You can ask your ISP for further details on this), for the purposes of this example we will put in 192.168.1.254
Click OK
Close the remaining windows and then try the game again, once the other machine(s) are configured accordingly
Testing The Connection
Click Start
Click Run
Type in: cmd
Click OK
Presuming you have configured your other machine with an IP Address of 192.168.1.2, in the black box that just appeared type in: ping 192.168.1.2
If you receive messages saying that you got a reply then the machines are ready to play over a LAN. If you have messages saying 'Request timed out' then check the settings again and the hardware (cables, network card etc)
Finding Out Your IP Address
Click Start
Click Run
Type in cmd
In this black box, type in: ipconfig
You can now see your IP Address in the list
