Title: how to setup for lan if possible?
Post by: Shippou on October 12, 2010, 01:40:44 AM

so setting up servers is all cool and everything but, the net at college sucks, so usually some friends and i sometimes play some CoD matches using our lappys LAN, is there some way to setup that with mm8dm?

It should work like pretty much any other LAN game, I'd assume. As long as the comps are linked up, you just need the hosts IP, right?

When you make a server, if you untick the "broadcast to server list" box it goes into LAN mode.  But even with that ticked, I believe LAN play (or at least LAN broadcasting) is enabled.  Then just hit Windows key + R to get a run box, type in "cmd" and hit Enter to get a command prompt.  In the command prompt type "ipconfig" and hit Enter again to get your local IP address!  If you know the computer's name on the network, you can usually use that as well as long as it resolves correctly, but use "ipconfig" to get the digits if that fails.
