1337262 2013-04-17 01:05:00 I was wondering if it's possible for two players on different computers to play a multiplayer game via wireless? Both PCs are wireless capable (Mine's running Vista, his Win 7). I have Internet access but he doesn't. Greg (193)
1337263 2013-04-17 01:29:00 Depends if the game has a LAN option or not. pcuser42 (130)
1337264 2013-04-17 05:08:00 If you can play a peer-to-peer game over a LAN, it doesn't matter if it's wired or wireless.

If you're suggesting sharing your Internet connection, to play a game with an off-site host, it's probably OK.

I'd be inclined to set up a firewall / router / WAP for the Internet sharing though.

1337266 2013-04-17 07:36:00 Yeah as mentioned, only if it supports LAN if the 2nd PC has it. Keep in mind it's not ideal coz WiFi is half-duplex and susceptible to interference, but it's doable for most games :) Chilling_Silence (9)
