Looking for software to connect 3-5 people on internet (cable) in to LAN, so we can play LAN games thru internet.
Thanks for any info.

me, and 3 other people have cable internet. We need to connect all our computers in to one network over internet, like VPN, or WAN. VPN supports only 1 to 1 connection, and we need to connect 3 or 4 computers together. Any soft like that??
Let me know if you need any more info on that.
thanks

Are you all in the same room/house or are you in different geographic locations?

Your network is already there. (i.e. the internet)

Just use a password on your server to keep the riff-raff out.

I think anything else you might try to do would just be
redundant, and probably hose up your configs....

Have everyone connect to the server via IP if your game has that option.. thats the best you are gonna get since it wont go through a 3rd party network like gamespy or kali or anything along those lines

One solution is to use Tunnels, but you need a server platform to do this, either NT server, 2k Server, or Linux/Unix. Then you have to set up the RAS. It's a bit complicated if you've never used RAS or Server before. And it's a bit ex$pen$ive :)

Why not just set up the server on the Internet with a password? Seems that would be the easiest method.
