Networks

Alright. Now you should see a screen like this:

Now, you have to choose ONE person from your group who will be the server. They click on "Server Settings", everyone else click on "Client Settings".

OK, so the next part is only for the server. Make sure your settings are all the same as I have here:

Clients get this screen:

Clients need to enter a nickname and the IP address of the server for their group, NOT YOUR OWN IP. (Replace the IP shown with the one from your group's server computer.) Then click Connect. Wait a little while, then go into the Partyline. Remember it can take a while for the disk to finish loading, so watch that little green light!

The Last Word

When done playing, you must exit the program PROPERLY. Wait for and follow Mr. E's instructions carefully.
