    I have been playing this on a M1710 and its savage, best graphics i seen for ages

    but

    how do 2 players play simultaneously? says i got no ethernet connection or something? you need to be on line for 2 players together?

    seems mad?

    You might be able to play it over a lan.

    You can create a wireless lan yourself between two or more laptops. Apart from on-line and over a lan, how do you expect to play two player on this?

    two control pads. 1 xbox 360, 1 ps2 pad. on one laptop.

    quite a basic requirement, double dragon offered this facility in the 80s....:rolleyes:

    I'm guessing you haven't been playing on a pc for long have you.

    Sorry but you'll be hard pushed to find a pc game these days that offers splitscreen multiplayer anymore. Online or over a lan or ethernet is the way to go these days. You can play fine over a wifi connection too, just wirelessly connect all the pc's together and away you go.

    Make sure your computers see each other first then one pc needs to start a server and the other should be able to join it if not through the usual means of scanning for servers then just get the IP of the hosting machine and try searching for that.

    You really shouldn't be having an issue as long as the relevant ports are open on your firewalls(s)
