Hello there, I'm having issues with a game called Trackmania United Forever. Me and my buddy wish to play together in LAN, but can't manage to configure the thing correctly. What makes it hard is that we have some issues with licences (I'm using same licence on 2 computers and it's not legal to connect both to internet) so we can't let the application connect to internet, but it must have all needed access to my buddy's computer. My buddy has another licence so that's not a problem.
So... I've made firewall rules on both computers to allow all traffic in IP range 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255, which is our LAN-network and both computers' IP's are on that range, and another rule to block everything else. Still it's not working, the game doesn't see the other computer on the network. It's not possible to connect by direct IP, it must be done via LAN.
So the question is, what connections/rights the application needs to be able to see the LAN-network and the computers connected to it? We both got vista and our comps can see each other in windows network interface.
Sorry for long post
