| 1118179 | 2010-07-12 09:33:00 | Me and my friend are about to host a AOE 2 LAN party. I came over the night before so we could try to setup the server/hub. First we tried a crossover cable and could play LAN fine. But we have 5 computers and need to connect them all through one hub. However it's not working at all. Could some1 plz post step by step instructions on how to setup the hub for 5 computers. Note: we have already tried just plugining in the cables. |

| 1118183 | 2010-07-12 09:52:00 | Yup try static ips and give all workgroups the same name. Then reboot all of them | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1118185 | 2010-07-12 10:00:00 | Go into the properties of the network adapters / TCP/IP v4 and type one in manually. Is there a router in this anywhere? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1118186 | 2010-07-12 10:06:00 | do we need to change/input anything into subnet and/or default gateway? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1118187 | 2010-07-12 10:08:00 | should pick a subnet its self, no gateway needed, no dns needed | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1118188 | 2010-07-12 10:23:00 | You would be better off with a switch than a hub, as hubs just saturate every port... | SolMiester (139) | ||
