Set Up a LAN

[Francis]

Hello All,

My brother and I both have a copy of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and we
would like to network our computers to play in versus mode. All I know is
that I have to set up a LAN...however, I am a little confused about where to
start.

Both computers have Ethernet controllers installed, are connected to a
router for internet access, and are running Windows XP Home Edition.

Could somebody please give me some direction on where to begin?

Thanks,

Francis

Hello Robert,

I have followed your advice and did some extra research. I have successfully set up the LAN and got Splinter Cell to play in multiplayer mode.

Thanks for your help!
