Ahh Dungeon Siege. I remember playing that at a couple LAN games with a few friends of mine.

Unfortunately it is an absolute PITA to get to work properly over LAN, continually failing to show people in LAN lobbies because it has some sort of schizophrenic episode trying to figure out what to do if you have more than one network interface:

DS1: "Okay, the user wants to play a LAN ga-oh wait, hold on... wait a minute there's three network interfaces. OMG which one do I use?!?"
*runs in small circles*
Me: "Oh dear God, use the interface that's actually connected."
DS1: Oh hey look, a wireless connection-
Me: "-nonono, waitwait! It's not even on!"
DS1: *runs into wall*
Me: "The ethernet connection. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THE ETHERNET CONNECTION!"
DS1: *runs into wall*
Me: ...
DS1: *runs into wall*
Me: "The-"
DS1: *runs into wall*
Me: "-...nevermind."
DS1: *takes a nap*
