[pq49z]

is there any way to connect two pc's that are using the same isp?&nbsp;&nbsp;i ask because a friend and i are trying to play online games but we live in rural area and most ov the servers are hundreds of miles away so we have a much slower connection then anybody else and the games we play are speed dependent and we just enjoy playing each other without other people .<br><br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;please help

Hello<br><br>First of all, are the two computers in the same house\room etc...?<br><br>You don't have to use an ISP to network two computers together.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you only want to play games between the two of you you can do one of two things without even using an ISP.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can netwok them together with NIC cards if they are close enough or you could set it up so that one computer dials directly into the other.<br><br>To be able to dial from one computer to another you need to enable Hyper Terminal.&nbsp;&nbsp;To do this : Click Start\Settings\Control Panel\Add Remove Programs, go to the&nbsp;&nbsp;Windows Setup tab, double click on Communications and put a check mark in Hyper Terminal and then click ok.&nbsp;&nbsp;After that follow the instructions to set up one of the computers so that it can be dialed into at:<br><br><A HREF="

that, set up a new dial up in My Computer\dial up networking.<br><br>You may have to configure a couple more things also.<br>

Another way is to connect the PC's across Serial, using a Null Modem Cable (works with Quake & Quake II, I believe), which is basically a 25pin RS232 Modem Cable with the 2nd and 3rd pins swapped over at one end of the cable.<br><br>They only cost about a fiver, so it's certainly got a lot more going for it than buying network cards.<br><br>The games your playing should tell you whether they can use Serial Networking. <p>ahdkaw<br><a href=mailto:ahdkaw@sensibilium.com>ahdkaw@sensibilium.com</a><br><a href=

Hi
I think U and Ur friend have to have a valid IP.
Then U can see others computer via internet.
And there is a feature called VPN, that can get connected to a computer via internet.
But I don't know how Ur game provides the networking.
