Lan Multiplayer Help

Masrit

Okay. So me and my brother are in the same house using the same internet connection.
I am wireless while he is plugged into the router. We have been trying to play multi-player together for the past two days and still can't figure it out.
If someone can run me a step by step it would be nice. Cause I don't understand the readme files and other docs for networking.
I also have remote desktop programs if people have better time doing and showing then just writing it all down.

Thank you.

If you explain what part(s) of the documentation you don't understand then we might be able to help. Without that, we'll likely end up repeating and/or linking you to the very same information.

Okay. I got making the server name, server-game-skill and all that, what I don't understand is setting up the port and TCP/IP. Since we only want the two of us playing we made the port 0 like it said it could be. But what do we put for the ip

I was able to start the server by using the
# server-name
# server-info
# server-game-map
# server-game-episode
# server-game-skill

and then net-ip-port 0
net init tcpip
net server start

The server starts up.
But I can't move in it.

When my brother tries to connect we use
net-ip-port 0
net init tcpip
net search

the net search fails.

Where did you see port 0 described as a valid port number? Generally most networks explicitly disallow communication on port 0 because it is so often used as a "wildcard", meaning; "choose a port for me". I would suggest you stick to using the default port for now, which is 13209

Note that any firewalls on your network might need to be configured to allow Doomsday to communicate using port 13209, for Transmission Control and User Datagram protocols (known commonly by the TCP and UDP initialisms respectively).

In order for your brother to connect to your server he must enter the LAN ip address of your server. To do this, open the in-game server browser, select Custom Search and here you'll find a edit field where you can enter the ip address.

Darn I feel stupid >.<
And how to fix the stuck glitch where you can't move?

DaniJ

Allow communication on port 13209 in your firewall(s).

Masrit

I have done that but it didn't help

I used the windows firewall advance security to do it.

Also I'm stuck with the ip
Our ip with our router is 192.168.0.1 and when we try to search it we get no results

we use the command
net-ip-address
and it shows nothing there so we enter that one
Do we have to use our main ip address or our router ip?

DaniJ

Each machine on your network will have it's own ip address. You need to enter the ip address of the server on each client you wish to connect to it.
