my lad has R6V2 version 1.2.2 on his two computers and when he tries to host a lan man he can get it started on his N0.1 computer but we can join from the N0.2 computer all his other games can use the lan connection without any problems but every time we want to do it in R6V2 it wont let us .. i could be overlooking the obivous but i am stumped and he and his freinds very like the game but the only want to play together ... all advice will make him and ME! happy

First you should update Vegas 2 on all computers to 1.03.
Also, make sure both computers are running the same version.

If you are using a router, it should auto assign IP addresses, and you should configure your network on each computer to auto assign.

If that doesn't work, setup your network (LAN) manually.

When doing that, the network name on all computers must be exactly the same.
Then assign IP addresses for all computers in the same range.

Example:
192.168.0.120
192.168.0.121

The first 3 numbers must be the same.
The last number must be different to identify each computer.

The computer names can be anything you want and are basically just to identify each computer.

Again, only the network name MUST be the same on all computers on your network.

Hope this helps.

the two computers connect directly to each other and not connected to a router the computers are not connected to the internet they are both running version 1.2.2 have done the IP thing with one having last digit different but no luck there have uninstalled and reinstalled game on both and the network names are the same as other games work via lan

thank you for your help

Direct connect is not always easy to setup.

Try connecting through a network switch.
They are cheap and you can connect several computers on a LAN.

thanks to all who replied my son had a friend with the same problem and he came round and in a shake of a lambs tail got it working ....

a freind of my sons came over and fixed it in a wink of an eye so all is working like it should dont know how he did it but son said it was a little thing we missed doing

Glad you got it working.

Sometimes it is just something simple like turning on printer and file sharing, or some other simple setting.
