| 87867 | 2002-10-10 20:20:00 | Hi all, We have 3 PC's networked in different parts of the house using XP ME and 98. When we play LAN games there's always a lot of shouting from room to room. Is there such a thing as a LAN voice server, similar to what messenger does but without the need for the internet? I would prefer shareware of free ware because it's not something we'd use often, but it would stop my wife complaining ;) | crozier (2004) | ||

| 87869 | 2002-10-10 21:18:00 | Try the following freeware. I use this all the time while playing games on the internet. Very reliable. http://rogerwilco.gamespy.com/ You can also use Microsoft Game Voice software but the freeware I think is limited to 4 users www.gamevoice.com There is the old but popular Battlecom http://www.battlecom.org/ A lot of people swears by TeamTalk but for some reason I can't remember its URL (sorry) There are heaps more but these are a few that I know of that online gamers like. |

We tried Netmeeting but it was hopeless. Roger Wilco gave us the best voice quality (without Video of course). |

| 87872 | 2002-10-10 22:37:00 | Thanks nzStan, I'll try them this weekend. | crozier (2004) | ||
| 87873 | 2002-10-10 23:33:00 | No worries. Drop me a line here or at my forum demonz.kiwiclub.com if you need help with Roger Wilco. To use RW on LAN, one of you need to host the session, then have the others join the host IP address (or PC hostname). | nzStan (440) | ||
