Router

I have a Linksys dsl router (BEFSR41) and I am sharing my internet with two other computers. Everything works fine. Now I want to play games with the other 2 computers. What can I do?
This is my first time here, so please be kind.
Thanks.

In most of the games there is an option to Create or Join a game. Most of the time one pc creates the game and the others join that particualer game in progress. Try that. I am not really much of a gamer with PC's I use PS2 or my XBox. Sorry, but see if it works.

Good luck,

Welcome to Tech Support Forums imagen.

Laffctx is right on this one I only know from my experience with UT, but basically use your fastest computer to host the game( as it will slow down because it is doing the sending, but in return, it will have no ping (time in milliseconds it takes data to be received from the host computer and sent back) Then you'd go under multiplayer in the game and sometimes is asks for IP, if so then just type it it and press connect, otherwise it'll be smart enough to find that your on a network and it'll handle the configuration.
