You want to allow other computers on your network to connect? extremely possible using 127.0.0.1 all computers on your immediate LAN should have access

Wrong, then the computers will try to connect to a gameserver that would be hosted on themselves... you gotta find out the local IP adress of said computer, and put that in. (ipconfig...)Quote:

I have to disagree with you, before I started allowing my friends on my server the opts were set to connect to 127.0.0.1 and my neighbor could bring his laptop over jump on my local network and connect easy.
And maybe instead of trying to confuse him you could tell him that process:
1. hit the "Windows" key on your keyboard and the letter R at the same time
2. type in CMD
3. type ipconfig
4. Depending on if you have lan/dual-lan you will see "Local Area Network" (1,2 etc) it will display a IP in the following format: 192.168.1.1 (for those on a router) <--- that is the IP you need to put in your game/auth-server.opts
