Hi Folks, first posting here so any advice is appreciated.
A bit of background, back in the late 90's myself and a number of colleagues used to play the original Quake across the network at our office. Over the years we all changed jobs and companies and moved on. However, recently we have been trying to get three laptops linked up so we can play deathmatch again. This is where the problem lies. We have been unable to get the machines to see each other.
We have tried using a hub, direct machine to machine connection, setting up a home network between them, specifying IP addresses, and general playing around with the LAN settings, but to no avail. We have managed to get the machines to see each other across a network but the never find any quake servers.
This is driving me nuts, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
