Well, apparently the only servers you can see when you request for them on LAN are the ones that are using the default port 23073. Servers with custom ports won't be listed. (Source).

So, you'll have to try and do it this way; Type the persons Ip into the Ip address field. If you don't know how to find out your Ip, go to Start -> Run -> Type 'Cmd' -> In the black box that comes up, type 'Ipconfig', or you can go here. Then, click Join and hopefully you should join the game.

Please tell me if this works so I can add it as a solution to the Official Problems list.

well, the ip thing is not rly the problem i think - i pinged his cmomputer from command prompt (or w.e) and it worked and the night b4 i even shared a folder on my computer to b accessed on his comptuer and all worked out...but (strangely) the requesting doesn't show ne server - but if wat u say still could b the problem - where do i type it in!??!

Read my post again. I never said the Ip was the problem, I was telling you how to join the game.

Take your finger out of your nose, or out of your pants for that matter, minimise the porn and read my post carefully :)

I don't think it has anything to do with graphics. I just think you didn't do it properly the first time.

Also, it would be nice if you wrote coherently, so I don't have to read your posts twice..

Okay, if you want to play lan, just get one person to host a game that is lan, and get the other person to type localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the server ip.

localhost and 127.0.0.1 are both really the same thing -_-

but as long as it works, then have fun playing!
