Personal LAN, frustrated Options

[flatliner]

Hey all,

I am frustrated here.



I want to beat a friend at CODUO, and want to do it on my own LAN.



We have a verizon dsl setup, and back to back cpus.



I have installed CODUO on both cpu's, but I cannot find the other CPU on the list.



I also cannot start a server on the one cpu, i get the error



could not find script 'maps\mp\gametypes\_awe'



what am i doing wrong, and how can i set up a LAN game in my office here like on "the office"

The suggestion you need 2 cd-keys is wrong, that ONLY applies when connecting to Internet servers not LAN servers.
Lan servers do not contact Activsion's Master server to valid CD-keys an issue COD GUIDS.
I've ran a 20 man lan all using the same key.

My best bet is if the Host computer doesn't show up in the browser on the 2nd computer it's because it's filted out.
For example,
The browser on #2 might be setup to only show Base assault server but #1 is setup as TDM
Or maybe the filter options on #2 is setup to only show servers with Punkbuster enabled.
In that case, if your server on computer #1 didn't have PB enabled, it wouldn't show up on the in-game browser on #2.


If there is some type of problem getting the in-game browser to see the other computer, you could always do it manually.
Find the local IP address of #1
1) Go to start>Run
2) type cmd, this will open a command promt window.
3) type ipconfig, this will return the IP address the router assigned the computer.
It should be something like 192.168.0.100. This will be listed on the line IP Address.

Now start the server on PC#1, let the map completely load
Start the game on PC#2, open the console window and connect manually to PC#1
Using the example IP address, above it would be
/connect 192.168.0.100
