    Playing PC-games on LAN
    Hi everyone, I don't know exactly if this is the right place for this question, but I'll ask.
    Is there a method to play PC-games, ex. Counter-Strike through LAN even if I have a Dial Up ADSL?
    Thanks, you guys are great.

    There are two networks at work here. One is your Internet connection and the other is your Local Area Network (LAN) which is the collection of your own computers.

    What you can do with your games depends on what the game will support. Some support online gaming which would use the Internet. The satisfaction you can get from this can depend on your Internet connection. How fast you are able make decisions for your player can depend on the speed of your Internet connection. You may get shot a lot if you can not move or shoot fast enough for your player.

    If your game supports play for your LAN, then you are connecting to other computers on your home network. The game makers do not support this as much because they can not charge fees for online play.
