Hey everyone,
I've gotten WZ to work wirelessly from PC to PC over the internet using Hamachi, but my buddy's PC no longer has internet because he moved. My question is, how do you connect and play PC to PC, with just a crossover cable connecting the PC's?
Thanks for any help!

Host the game normally, and have your friend join your IP.
With the crossover cable connected and the LAN created, you can find your local IP several ways. I think one way is to go to My Network Places and look at the properties of the computer you want the LAN IP of. I think you can also type ipconfig into the command prompt; one of those IPs is the LAN IP.

Thanks alot for your response Zarel. I will try that and see if it works. It's probably much easier than I think it is!
