In five days, two friends and myself will attempt to set up a Simultaneous game by networking our laptops together. We will be using a hub and Cat-5 cable. I have a few questions concerning this.
1) Two of the game discs will be CFC, the third will be Civ III Complete (CFC). All will have the 1.22 patch installed. Will this cause a compatibility issue because one of them is CFC Complete?
2) Networking three laptops that all run Win XP will be relatively easy, however what if one of the laptops has Win ME? Will it be difficult to set up the ME computer on the LAN? I am counting on having three XP laptops, though, so I am not too concerned with the ME issue. Can anyone please tell me what I would have to do in order to get all three XP laptops on the same LAN using the Hub and Cat-5 Cable hooking them all together via the ethernet cards? I know that it is really simple, but I cannot remember how to do it and would like to prepare for this before the day of the gaming.
Any help or suggestions will be very much welcome. =o) I searched the forums here but did not find much technical advice on this matter.
Thanks in advance!
