I feel like a dope asking for help on this. Have several computers at home (too many to be socially acceptable) and like to setup LAN games for multiple players. Problem: none of the computers can pick up the FL server via LAN. We have all logged into my server via the internet and played that way but it seems absurd to do that where direct connect would be faster.

All computers are successfully connected (checked using diagnostic), but the server is just non-existent - until we find it via internet.

What rookie level mistake am I making in finding the server with LAN connected computers? I have searched many a forum and no one else seems to have this problem or is interested in LAN only play. I saw one '-s. IP Address' and tried that without success.

Lil help?

Thanks in advance,
