Oct 30, 2009 Then host your game on any pc/mac and the others will see it when they search for a LAN or local game server, so all they have to do is click join. You don't need to set all the individual pcs and macs to the same Workgroup as that is only needed if you want to access shared folders, printers etc on a pc. (The mac is on both wifi and ethernet). I have an airport extreme wireless router. I cannot get the PC to connect to a game hosted by the Mac. But I can get the mac to connect to a game hosted on the PC! I'd really like to get it working because my kids use the PC, and my wonderful map that I let them build on is on my computer (Mac).
Me and some friends are having a LAN party in a week or so and today I thought it would be a good idea to test out my switch which I got from my work place (the switch is pretty old) so I took my g5 and switch to my friend house to see if we could get a couple of games to play together over LAN.
We were unable to get the computers to connect to each other over LAN via the switch, but when we connected the computers directly to each other via Ethernet we were able to start a game and play together. So my question is: do I need to configure the switch, or computers to connect to each other as a LAN?
There are going to be two Macs and ten PCs at te LAN party.
