Preparing to Host a NetPlay Session
To host a NetPlay session, choose the Host
NetPlay game(s)... command from the Game menu. The following window appears:
Enter the user name by which you wish to be known. This
identifies any chat messages that you send during the session. Then
choose the role you wish to play. When you click on the OK button,
the NetPlay window
appears.
A status message indicates that you are ready to host the
NetPlay session and displays your IP Address. Remote users need
this address to connect to your computer.
NOTE: If your computer has more than one network
adapter enabled (many computers do, even if some are not used), the
IP Address displayed by DMB may not be the one you need to provide
to remote users who wish to connect to the session. Please see
Finding Your IP Address
for more information.
