To play games over LAN 1st u need a CROSS CABLE to connect ur computers and a virtual server to host the game. Try Hamachi. Please note that the cracked games cant be played over LAN unless u use some cracked LAN patch

What you need?: 1. Two PCs with Ethernet Cards or On board Ethernet Most new motherboards come with onboard Ethernet, you can check this out in My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > Network Adapter. 2. A Crossover Ethernet cable. The normal Ethernet cables wont work, you must have a cross crimped Ethernet cable which can be used to transmit data in both directions. 3. A Ethernet Hub A Ethernet hub is needed if you plan to connect more than two PCs. If you want to connect just two PCs, you can do it directly without a hub.

After the connections and settings have been saved, both the PCs should be connected by LAN. You may need to restart both the PCs. You can check if the connection is working by pinging one PC from the other. For PC-1, Start > Run > CMD > ping 192.168.0.2 For PC-2, Start > Run > CMD > ping 192.168.0.1 You can view the PCs in My Network Places. You can now use this LAN connection to play multiplayer games or share files. You can also map a drive on another PC to a local drive by using My Computer > Tools > Map Network Drive > Select Drive Letter and network path of the shared folder on the other PC.
