On the weekend I tried to run a multi-player session on a local area network.

I used the microsoft family logon protocols in the network setings as I have had the least problems with this one.

I first tried to use IPX but this would result in a message saying that I was not able to connect to the sesion and when I tried to use TCP/IP my machine would lock up.

I have not had any problems running any other games so far and my network runs without any problems so if any one knows how to set up a multiplayer game on a LAN, please can you help me?

HI, and first. Thax for the TIP about killing a Vampire.
I'm sorry, but I can't help you with the MP setup. I just wont to say that the same thing happens to me. Everything in my network works fine, just not with BG 2. Yes, and off course. The same with BG 1. I think there is a big bug here, becoase I have tried to send this to Interplay 14 days ago, but I have still not got an feedback. I think it's sucks that I have to play MP with cable!
