How to host Lan Steel Panthers 8.3

[IronBar]

Tried doing a search on how to play Steel Panthers online-LAN but can't seem to get the question phrased right. All the machines I am operating are running Windows XP and are up to date patch wise. Seems after I downloaded the latest version of Steel Panthers, have not been able to host.
Hot Seating it but its nice not having the Grandson peeking over my shoulder. Wonder where he learned that....
I realise I'm behind the curve with this request but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance [&o]

Hello, had the same problem (not those looks over my shoulder) with my buddy and our LAN.

Check the IP-adresses of your machines... they are for sure not correct for at least one computer. Change them as demanded in the Windows-Network-control-panel. SPWAW shows those adresses in
the first (?) screen of online-play.

BTW, a game via LAN is a very fine thing. The only strange thing we saw (and see) is that the game sometimes "hides" actions
(like destroying a tank)... your enemy will not see his tank
burning, but you have seen it hit and destroyed. No great problem; in the next turn the tank IS destroyed, and both sides
will be able to see it.

Hope this helps, have fun
