Hi I wanted to practice my flying but with my friend also, so is it possible for him to create a local network and for me to join from my house.....(he doesnt have a router)

We tried a couple of things, but nothing works, he starts the server , but i cant join, it says that i have to check my network configuration....

so first of all: is it possible

if yes: anybody can tell me how to do it easily?

tx ALOT!

Nah, for that you'll need to create an internet game. You can just password it so no one else can join.

and for this you need to pay for a server or can you set one up for free?

Maybe with Hamachi ?
http://www.hamachi.cc/

It's a LAN simulator... you can create networks that make your computer thinks your computer in connected to your friend computer...

tx ill try with hamachi, and if i want to do a real server, how much does it cost if it costs something......?

If you host it from your own home it doesn't cost a thing, but it will need its own computer since it has to be a dedicated server.

Hmm... I thought you could run one from in bf2, but maybe not. You may have the server installed with bf2 - have a look in your bf2 directory for a BF2ServerLauncher.exe. If you don't have it, you can download the server installer from the bf2 site somewhere.

Although the hamachi thing might be easier

Edit: Leo - no. You can run a dedicated server and normal bf2 connecting to that server from the same PC. It turns into a bit of a slideshow when you have a server and 2 separate instances of bf2 running though

aight , tx to yall, ill try it and give feedback when its up

tx again

Of course you can...try this

1) Person A starts a Single player game and take note of the IP address.
2) Person B goes to the multiplayer server selection screen, the one where you can choose an internet server to play on. While at this screen there is a button that says connect to IP - type in person A's IP address.
You should be connected to his game.

Yeah Outlaw22 correct.

But some maps crash in single player.

Not if you use my new objects_server.zip from my WIP folder (wont effect MP) all vehicles work with ai now, plus I have a load of SP maps that work without crashing, get it all from the link in my sig.

Or start your own LAN server, once in the game, bring up the console and type the following:
sv.numplayersneededtostart 1

The game will start, then you can create a squad, get kits and practice.

Single player and lan both crash for me

k tx for all your advices...

Ive tried Hamachi and it works great! very user friendly , very simple!

i owned my friend hehehe

tx again

ps: any other map than golf of oman has cobras and jets?
