We also tried LAN connection. Why does'nt the LAN (CAT cable) work with this game? It's just a direct connection, isn't it? I was very disappointed when we couldnt use that. I went into Network and not a single name came up.
Did you put the cable into the router and the computer (so you'd need two cables) or did you put the cable between the computers?
If it;s the second, you did it wrong and need a twisted pair cable for that.
If you dont know what that is, just go with option 1 and connect your computers into the same router and check again.
