Everton Jersey Boy Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Hi, I'm not sure if i am posting this in the right place but i desperatley need some help. Me and two friends are going to france on holiday, whilst we are there we might have a bit of free time. Is it possible to play a multiplayer game of FM, on multiple laptops, without an internet connection? Is there anything i can buy to somehow link the laptops? Thanks in advance!

Kenco Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 If you are there together why not play it all on one laptop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Just buy a LAN cable, connect the two laptops and start a network game. No internet connection needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawsie Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 plug an ethernet cable between the two, assign yourself an ip address of 251.258.1.2 and the other one the same but wth .3 on the end. Join ip address when in the game of the person hosting and voila. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everton Jersey Boy Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks for the help! How would i assign myself an IP address? And what would i put on the end of the 3rd person's IP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsie Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 oh, its between more than 2? Sorry didn't read the whole thing properly. You would need a HUB for more than 2 as with just 2 you can essentially just serial link with one cable from one pc to the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
