If i made a local server, could my friend across town connect by giving him my ip address? he claims it doesnt work but we have yet to try. can anyone shed some light on this?
I theory, if you'r friend is on the same network as you it would work.. but being across town, I would assume that you would need to start an internet server... I have yet to try bridging the gap between locl and internet... but why on earth WOULDN'T you want to start the game as internet ?
You can but......Ahh unless you or he has a very good connection you will have some bad issues with it. I tried it using Hamachi (something like that) and the pings I was getting was terrible. Coupled with the frequent, problem with your connection, though this didnt mean that it crashed, just it would do that for a while, and then sort it's self out. Just play on a normal server I would say, its to much hassel to be viable

Works for me. Although I don't know where their servers are, seeing as the pings I get range from 17 to 220.
