feneur Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 From the title I get the impression that you are both on the same local network, is that the case? If so you need to connect via IP to the local IP address rather than the external IP address. Because if you're both behind the same router you both appear to have the same IP address from the outside, and so you can't use the external one, nor the lobby.( http://lifehacker.com/5833108/how-to-find-your-local-and-external-ip-address seems to be an accurate description for how to find your local IP address.)

jlee12000 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yes that is the case, what if we connected to two different wifi's? our college has 2 different ones.but how would we do the IP thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Try that first I'd say, hopefully that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yes that is the case, what if we connected to two different wifi's? our college has 2 different ones.but how would we do the IP thing?Also ask your friends if they can use the WiFi to play in most cases (If not all) they are built to prevent users from playing. If this is the case I'd suggest you either buy an ethernet cable, use a phone as a router, or create an adhoc network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathiasB Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yes that is the case, what if we connected to two different wifi's? our college has 2 different ones.but how would we do the IP thing?College networks love to block games and other things.At my university I cannot connect to other LAN computers...Using an ethernet cable or making a ad-hoc network will work.

FeXoR Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Doesn't wireless local area network cards support direct connection to another card?Otherwise a crossover twisted pair local area network cable would be the cheapest solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
