FoT multiplayer

[Stock]

Just to make things clear, I know nothing about computers.

Due to computer problems I've never played FoT on multiplayer before, but now my computer works better.

I'd like to know how I start a multiplayer session without actually having to pay for it. (Gamespy is not free, if memory serves)

What do I need to do to play a LAN game?

Thanks in advance.

Well more than one computer helps. Sorry couldn't resist.

Try reading pages 8-12 of the manual, it seems to be straight forward.

*casts thread rivival*

I'm trying to set up a multiplayer LAN game with my brother, we both have the 1.27 patches, but we can't find eachother in the join/host multiplayer menu inside FOT.
As I don't have the manual for tictacs I can't read those aforementioned pages in it(duh)
The funny thing is that it has worked in the past, and without any problems, we just had to start up tictacs and then one would host and the other would join the host. That's some time ago though, several fresh windows installations have been made since that.

Can anyone help or will I have to kick his ass in real life?
