In the early days of computers, the Internet was not so widespread. Most often, teenagers had to play in computer clubs. But now the games are available both via local networks and via the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
You can play with a friend from different computers using the Internet. To do this, you must purchase the same licensed version of the game and install it. Then go to the game and select the "multiplayer" game mode. To play together, go to the same server. The first player must click "host" (create a game), the second - "connect" (join the game).
Step 2
You can also play one game on the Internet on unlicensed versions of games. Go to the game. Select the game mode "Local network". The first player must click host. In the server field, the second player will have the nickname of the other. The second player must press "connect" and enter the IP address of the first player, which must be found out in advance.
Step 3
You can play simultaneously over a local network. Connect computers to the network. Make settings on each computer. The first PC must have an IP address of 192.169.0.1 and the second one must have 192.168.0.2. Next, specify the same workgroup, for example, Work. Please note that PC names must be different. Check if computers can "see" each other. To do this, in the command line, enter 192.168.0.1-t (from the second), 192.168.0.2-t (from the first computer). If the line "Answer from …" went, then everything went well and you can enter the game.
Step 4
Go to the game. Select the game mode "Local network". Since your computers are directly connected, the name of the second one will appear immediately. The first player must create a connection. The other computer will receive the information that it is being invited. Accordingly, you need to confirm consent from the second computer, and the game will begin. To make the connection better, you should disable all unnecessary programs.
