A LAN party is a gathering of all players who take their computers to the venue and proceed with “fragments” and “Vape ‘their way through the weekend against tens or hundreds of their fellow Geeks games network through a LAN .

Although DFI 875P chipset has used in this LANparty Pro875, which goes to the enthusiast market, rather than the labour market, and emphasizes gaming and cosmetic appearance, with a few tricks thrown in for good measure.

Ever wanted to play a game against a friend on the other side of the world, but the game only offers multiplayer support for a direct Local Area Connection (LAN) between the computers?

Ever wanted to share files like you would between connected computers in your own home, but do it with computers connected on the internet miles apart?

Well… I have the answer - and to my surprise - it is absolutely free! (The version of Hamachi - the utility you will be using - that is needed, is free).

I have tried and tested this with Command & Conquer 3, playing via ‘Network‘ in the game’s menu. I am in Chicago, USA and my brother is in England, UK. The performance was excellent!

1. Go to the LogMeIn Web site and download Hamachi.
2. Install with all the (currently, anyway) default options onto all the machines you want to connect. Select the Free/Basic version, but if you have the money you can buy the higher version to help support the development team.
3. Run Hamachi on the machine that will be most often hosting games. It is best to use the fastest/best machine as the host.
4a. You can do the tutorial where you join their test network if you want to.
4b. Create a network on the machine that will be hosting the game most often. Make a note of the name of the network and it’s password. Make sure the network is active and minimise Hamachi (You should get three green icons in the taskbar when the Network is active).
5. Run Hamachi on all the client machines (all the machines you installed Hamachi on that are not the host machine you just setup).
6. Click Create or Join Networks and enter the name and password of the Network you created on the host machine.
7. Everything ’should’ be automatically setup by Windows. On Vista you will get an option of whether you want the Network to be Public or Private, select Private.
8. Run your game on the host, select LAN/Network game and create a game.
9. Run your game on the clients, select LAN/Network game and you should, I hope, be able to see the game listed - join it.

There, wasn’t that simple?

Faccio un pò di pubblicità al sito della nostra piccola community di giocatori. Il sito si chiama babbed.it ed il nome ha un’origine che si perde nella storia ormai.. troppo lunga da raccontare.

Si tratta di una comunità di giocatori di Bergamo e dintorni che si riunisce un paio di volte alla settimana per giocare in LAN (ultimamente Call of Duty 4 e Unreal Tournament 3). Abbiamo spazio a sufficienza per ospitare una quindicina di persone e siamo sempre alla ricerca di nuovi giocatori, così da essere sicuri di avere un buon numero di partecipanti ogni settimana ed evitare di essere in quattro gatti che poi finisce che ci si annoia.

Sul sito ci sono le date di quando ci ritroviamo ed un sacco di minchiate comprensibili per lo più solo da chi ci segue da un pò di tempo
