CC Last Stand Arnhem- Is it possible to play Multiplayer over a Wireless Router?

[Kilovski]

Forgive my ignorance, its been a long time and I'm a bit behind on the Tech. I want to play CC LSA multiplayer at home over two PC's. However I don't want to physically connect through a LAN cable as one PC is upstairs and the other is downstairs. Is it possible to play through a wireless router? When looking at the multiplayer options available in the game, it only gives two connection methods, internet UDP and internet TCP. These are for playing online, entering your host IP address etc. When researching online, it seems to say make sure that your PC's are on the same network(they are), after that, run a game you want to play multiplayer and go to multiplayer options and click on create a server. This is where I'm stumped, there is no option offered in Multiplayer(as far as I can see) to create a server . Any help greatly appreciated

Others will be more able to talk about the CC specifics, but in theory it should be possible. In terms of creating a server, I think the term used in the lobby is Host. The client would then connect to the IP address of the hosting machine. Using TCP is more likely to be able to route through the various devices.

You will need to ensure that all the various ports are open, and there are no firewalls etc (including on the wireless router) getting in the way, but it should be possible.

You could try checking connectivity between the machines by pinging them:

Find the target PC's IP address: You can find this by going to the target PC's network settings.
Open Command Prompt: Press the Windows key + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
Type the ping command: In the Command Prompt, type ping followed by the IP address of the other PC (e.g., ping 192.168.1.100) and press Enter.
Interpret the results:
Success: You'll see "Reply from" messages, indicating the other PC is reachable.
Failure: You might see "Destination host unreachable" or no replies, which suggests a problem with the connection or firewall settings.
(Note: The firewall on the target PC might be blocking ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packets, which are used for ping. )

That above is copied from Google, which is likely the be your friend in this endeavor
