If a PC on the LAN doesn't have access to the Internet then CNCNet5 will not work, correct? That is why the local IRC server is needed. Is there a doc anywhere that explains all the network connections that take place when using CNCNet5? I'm trying to find out what ports are used outbound to the Internet, then what ports are used locally on the LAN pc's. Once the game has started between 2 or more pc's on the same LAN does the traffic flow directly between them or is some of it going out to the CNCNet server? thanks,

I too would like to play these games with CNCNet5 over LAN only.. Can you share how to do this with an IRC server? I will get one setup on my home network and look for your reply. thanks,
