Can I play LAN multiplayer using my wireless modem/router? I finally figured out how to access files in the laptop and vice versa, and was wondering about installing some LAN games to have a bash on.

Any ideas?

Ta ver' much.

You might get a bit more lag though, AFAIK wireless networks dont have the same data capacity as a physical one.

I have a wireless router made by Linksys and it seems to be very good. I have Halo and UT2003 installed on both of the computers and they work well on LAN. Things like that are great for LAN gaming but i havnt been able to get Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour working between them. Games should recognise weather there are people linkled up on LAN or not.

Suppose it is. I'm not all that with networks so really thought it only routed the internet connection and a bit of file sharing.

I can hear all you techies laughing now...

Well, yeah, that's the idea of a wireless router - to recreate using an actual physical connection. Would be pointless to have it otherwise.

I'm not an expert on this type of thing. But i'd guess that it would work.
