  Hi, Years back I played 1nsane Multiplayer on 2 Win XP-computers with my son. It worked without any trouble at all.

Now I have 1 Win XP, 1 Vista Basic and 1 Win 7 computer and multiplayer is not working anymore. I have no clue why.

I've searched the Codemasters forum and found a very old post about something like: 1nsane uses DirectPlay of DirectX and works with post 47624 TCP in/out and ports 2300-2400 in/out Both (TCP/UDP).
Not much helpfull for me, cause on XP I have DirectX 9, On Win 7 DirectX 11 and Vista, I haven't tried to get 1nsane running.

I already allow 1nSane to make connections in the Windows own firewall on bothe XP AND Win 7 computers, so there should not be any problems...?

So my question to you all: how can you set up a local LAN game with 1nsane with these different DirectX versions ?

Or are you'll just Gamespy-ers ?

As long as all your pcs are connected on the network there shouldnt be any trouble at all. Dx versions won't make any difference.

Thanks you your fast reply.

A couple of hours after sending the topic, I manage to play LAN-multiplayer 1nsane on a Windows XP and a Windows 7 computer.

Part of the solution was using the same version of 1nsane on both computers (I mean: only and the same standard retal cars and maps),
setting up the Windows Firewall by adding the ports and gave them more permissions, adding in 1nsane the right IP-adres and client-server instead of peer-to-peer and make the game public.

I've made also some changes in my Cisco router, but if they were helpfull...
I'm not sure...

Now I have to install 1nsane on a Vista computer to go LAN-racing on 3 computers, wish me luck...

Thanks.
I had 1NSANE now working on Vista !!!
The additions I made on XP works also fine on Vista...

We have already played twice on the three computers and a Cisco router, but our Wireless LAN was not always that stable to be connected in 1NSANE.

That's brilliant for you. I'm sure this info will be useful to other people too.

Just one more tip:

If you use cheats like "ineedmoremaps", every player should use these...

And this tip I cannot verify:

The total number of vehicles and maps together should be less than 100.
We play now on multiplayer with 85 vehicles and 13 maps.
