Me and my friend are both on a Lan computers on upstairs on down, but we casnt play muyltiplayer it asks for an IP address and we think we have it but then it says it doesnt work, one person cant get in it but the other cant join.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Look in your connection screen, that's where i first found mine. After that, I don't know.

Connection screen

[Dron_Cah]

yeah, look at the screen that gives you info on your internet connection.

[Taran]

where is it??

[andrewas]

Your computer has at least 3 IP addresses. Only one of them is a local address you can use to connect across your LAN.

Go into a DOS box and type IPconfig /all. In among that data will be several IP addresses. The one you want is probably associated with adapter 1 (the second in the list).

Your internet IP is either set up in your router or can be found by right clicking the connection icon in the bottom right, depending on what kind of connection you have. You dont want to use this address for a local game, but if you ever play across the internet you will need it.

[Dron_Cah]

Exactly. I just couldn't explain it very well.

Ok, now this is getting complicated..
I bring up the extrememly annoying black screen i type in Ipconfig/all and this is what i get:

Host Name...................:OEMCOMPUTER

209.244.0.4
Node Type...................:Brodcast
NetBIOS Scope ID
IP routing enabled..........:no

NetBIOS resolution Dses DNS.:no

O ethernet adapter :

Default gateway......:67.25.181.188
DHCP server..........:255.255.255.255

This is everything (and boy did it take a long time to type) that the screen shows is the ip adress what i am looking for ( duh probably) or is it sumething else ***note*** this is on my regular computer we have dial up (boooooo) no his i dought it would make a differece though

if i just type Ipconfig it gives me this(and just this):

IP adress..........:67.25.180.184
Subnet Mask........:255.0.0.0
Default Gateway....:67.25.180.184

but when i typed IPconfig/all it gave me a different Ip adress (67.25.180.188)
