NetPlay connection issues? or just not possible?

Post by hylent »

Alright, before we start, im gonna let you know, i dont know that much about connecting internet-wise.
I have two PC's in my house, and me and my brother want to play zsnes.
couldn't we simply connect an ethernet cable from one PC to the other, and play like that?
If so, then how come when I try it, both zsnes clients show the same IP and i cant connect to the other?

That won't work.. you need a special ethernet cable (crossover cable - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_cable) for this purpose or a hub/switch/router.

Nope, never, not ever.

They are simply two different cables.
