Hi,
I need help with getting two computers to be able to connect on a LAN. I have Doom 2 on both my eMac and my G4. I dont know how to get it to play over the LAN. Here is what I am doing.
I first go to options. Then I go to Server Options. For the Master Server, I type in the eMac's IP address on both the eMac and the G4. (192.168.0.4) I then type in a server name, (i.e. Mac) Then, it asks if I want an internet server. I put Yes. Then, I go to multiplayer. I go to Connect Server, and for "Search on" I put Local LAN. I then go to Start Server, and put the same exact settings for both computers. I start the server first on the eMac, and then on the G4. On the eMac, I get the error "Connexion to Master Server Failed." I cant get the 2 to connect so we can play a game over a LAN.
What in the world am I doing wrong? I know I must be doing something wrong. Please help.
Thanks!
