One person starts a new game like normal, having selected 'run as server' in the preferences. This person can go to the 'game status' to find out his IP address, which the others will need to join his game, if he doesn't know it already.
The others have to go to 'Network' at the start up screen, and select the IP. If it's not listed, try 'Refresh list', or 'Join other server' where you're asked for the IP to join with.
Try what I and Alex said in this thread, if you have problems connecting to each others game.

thanx but does anyone know why its in grey when i go to game status??

 

[rpvankasteren]

What?

 

[castelen]

i think he means he cant click it, thats why the button is displayed as sort of grey

 

[rpvankasteren]

Which button though, and in what situation exactly?

I do want to help, but without any info it's kind of hard

 

[Deutchmarkk]

when you said go to options and go to game status to look for the ip address, i cant because it is grey and wont let me

 

[PSVFOREVER]

maybe you use a other skin? if so, maybe a bug

 

[Deutchmarkk]

Thanx for that tip but i dont think thats it because im using the original skin

thanx anyway

So has anyone else got any ideas of what the problem could be???

 

[rpvankasteren]

Have you started the game yet? You need to start the game to get the game status screen active.

my friend has done it now, it was lack of communication from the both of us lol

Thanx anyways
