hank_chinaski: Hi!

So, I'm trying to start a Cossack: European Wars multiplayer LAN game between me and my friend on a network. And I have a few questions.

1. First, Is this possible? Has anyone else done it?
2. If it is possible, do I need to request a multiplayer Key from GOG?
3. What's the best way? When I start the multplayer battle, it gives me a set of options:
a). IPX NETWORK- I don't know what this is.
b). TCP/IP LAN CONNECTION- This is t he option that looks like I want to do
c).Direct TCP/IP- I imagine that the person joining the game has to know the exact IP address for it to work.
d)) INTERNET GAME) I'm trying to set a LAN game on my network, so I don't think this is my option.

Which of these is best for setting up the LAN game? If you did it already then how did you do it?

tadee84: Hi!

We often have LAN games with this GOG version of Cossacks and I would like to share my experiences with you.
It's possible, and you don't need to have a multiplayer Key from GOG. We choose the TCP/IP LAN CONNECTION option. I always follow the easiest way to establish a LAN game, so we have a DSL router and it works fine.

I hope I could help you. If you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask!

Edit.
Ups, I have just recently noticed that the question is very old. :) I hope you have managed to play an exciting LAN battle!
