Okay, I am trying to play LAN with some friends on school computers (Don't worry we're allowed to =P ) Anyway, I load the game, check the little 'Hide/LAN' box and set up the game....but my friends can't see the game in the available games list. Help?

Don't know if this is important, but LAN works fine with other games, like Scorched3d. Anyone know whats going on?

LAN servers arent registered in the CS2D server so u cant see it in the box, i think the FAQ tell you that you have to give ur specific IP and Port to the others to for them to come into ur server

Ah, but the IP shows up as 0.0.0.0:36963 (Or something like that)

So, it's useless. =/ I guess i'm not gonna be able to play LAN, huh?

What do you mean? During gameplay, I press 'TAB' and the score screen pops up right? It says 'Assasinator[GC]'s Server........IP: 0.0.0.0:36963.

first try downloading and running IPInfo.exe from here. It will show you your lan ip.

if that doesn't work, and depending on what your school computers allow, you can try these steps to access cmd.exe and find out your lan ip:

start -> run

if that is not available to you, try bringing up the task manager

ctrl+alt+delete -> task manager

fron the file menu, select "run new task"

if that is not available to you, try browsing to the location( depending on what os your computers are running):

winnt: c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe
winxp: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

if that is not available to you, open up a windows explorer window, and in the address bar type (depending on what os your computers are running):

winnt: c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe
winxp: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

if you can't do that, you can try creating a new .bat file (create a new .txt file and rename it to a .bat file). Edit it to say:

cmd.exe

So, if you can get cmd.exe to run, type ipconfig at the command prompt, and look for where it says ip address:: if it looks somethign like 192.168.x.x then that is your lan ip.

find out the comptuer's lan ip that will host, and get the other computers to type it in manually into cs2d.
