dual networksI currently have a PC and a notebook on a WLAN via a modem hub. I would like
to set up an alternative ethernet LAN which I would use for a gaming app. that can be played between both computers. Is this feasible and if so is there a particular setup procedure to follow? Hi
If the two computers are connected to the same Internet connection and both can use the Internet, you already have a LAN too, and you can use it to connect between the two computers. If you want to run local games you can, just follow what ever the game instructions are. If you want to Share Files, configure file sharing on both computers, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

the wireless LAN but no go. Game instructions don't help. I know someone else who runs it OK via ethernet so that is my reason for the query.

Wireless is just a replacement to wire, thus almost every thing that works with wire should work with Wireless. Almost? Wireless connection due to environmental factors might be reduced to very low Bandwidth that hinders some application. Since Wireless is dependent on its additional software, there are rare instances that some applications might not work due to software conflict. I do not know of your system falls under these low probability occurrences. If your Network can exchange files locally, games should work as well. Might be you're your Software Firewall blocks local traffic, or that your games need IP address adjustments ( http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html ). Jack (MVP-Networking).
