Warcraft 3 LAN

[Dopeturtle]

Hi ! I want to play Warcraft 3 through LAN with a friend , so we have the same Internet Provider , but when we try to host a map , the other doesn't see it in the Local Area Network in the game. We tried Hamachi too, same problem. Is there any way we could play togheder through LAN ? I must specify we have the same Warcraft 3 version ( 1.26.0.6401 ) but we both have a cracked version of the game . I must specify there is like 1-2 km (3000-6000 feet) distance between our houses , if it really matters .

Are you sure you're connected within the same LAN? 1 km distance is very huge for it to be a LAN. Try pinging the other PC through CMD. And transmission line attenuation also increases with distance fyi.

Same internet provider is not enough to make it work over LAN.
You need to be on the same router/modem.

Which basically means that unless you got Nasa's internet, playing locally from 1-2 km is impossible.
My wifi at home barely work in the garden so good luck getting it to work 1 km away.

Yes, it really matters. Despite you have same internet provider it doesn't mean that you are into the same LAN. Perhaps you are into the same WAN (wide area network) or MAN (metropolitan area network). Besides the fact that maximun lenght for UTP cable are 90~110 mts and maybe you don't own a 5 km range wireless network dispositive, I believe that your are into a subnet of your Internet provider network. To check your networking config just compare yours IPs, gateway IPs and net mask (open comand line and type "ipconfig") .
So, a good alternative is deploy some vlan app provider (this will require some extra networking knowledge) on both pcs. Hamachi is good enough but you can search for others like gameranger or w3arena.

Not helpful at all. Are you even reading his post? lol.

Anyway, the others have said things completely. I suggest you guys to be nearer each other because even if it does work with that distance, it's not going to go smooth at all.
