How to link 2 n/w PC's to play Quake 3

Post by **thenoo** » Wed Oct 12, 2005 9:22 pm

I have succeeded in networking and sharing files and printer between my XP Pro d/t and l/t.

Both achieve Web access through a DSL modem and Linksys router to the NIC card on the d/t and thence by wireless to the laptop.

I would like to share games between both PC's so that two people may play interactively using these PC's.

Initially I would like to experiment with the game Quake 111 but have no idea how to set this up.

When playing this game on a single PC , for instance , it is necessary to insert the Quake 111 CD . Do I now require two CD's , one for each machine to play this interactively.

I think you mean the game 'Quake 3' version 1.11.
If you update the game with the latest patch (which is version 1.32), you will not require a CD to play the game.
