Playing Starcraft over LAN with TCP/IP

[Killbat]

I've heard this can be done, with a Battle.net emulator or something.
What's the best way, if at all, to play Starcraft on a LAN with the TCP/IP protocol?

if youre on the same local area network you should be able to just have one person host a game and everyone on the same LAN should be able to join.

But that uses IPX, and I have forever banished IPX from my computer.


BUT, I have installed FSGS, a Battle.net server emulator. The problem I have now is connecting to other servers with the game. No matter what launcher I use, FSGS Connect or Battle.net Launch Pad, Starcraft always goes to the official Battle.net server instead. WTF, how does this work?

Nevermind, I got everything worked out.

LOL - I love seeing those kind of posts - about 1/2 hour after they last posted for help.

You can find everything you need at The FSGS website downloads page.

What threw me is that they recently renamed the "FSGS Connect" utility to "Net-Games Connect". I was feverishly searching for the former.
