professor_jonny 35 Posted May 16, 2018 Hi I tried to set up a lan party at home between the kids but I could not get it to work. Do I have to disable the nova/ link feature to do this, or is there any other special requirments? Do I have to have one retail console connected to live or something ?

gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted May 16, 2018 Unload Nova, or disable link, and it will work for local system link. Maybe in a future version, there will be a room in the link area of nova for local system link, but for now, this is what you have to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
professor_jonny 35 Posted May 16, 2018 I just unticked the link box in nova/link. in each console but I could not manage to get it to work, I checked everyone was on the same title updates as each console and that the wifi members are not isolated was working with link (online) previously with 0.6 on each console. One console is on the new 0.7 and all the rest are on 0.6 I guess this does not matter as long as it is disabled? I'm guessing I don't need to open ports or use port triggering with local link? But yes it would be cool if we could do local and internet based system link without modifying things too much. I was trying to get it working as our internet has run out of cap (4g rural) as we usually do it with link (online) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is all your consoles connected via wifi? Or wired? Or mixed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Felida I have a mixed setup because of the topology of my house, All the consoles are connected to one router one console is wired and the other two are via wifi. All consoles go on link as they are if I enable link surprising enough as I am behind a Double NAT from my ISP as I'm on a 4g connection. Without any other modification If I disable link none of the consoles can see link (which I expect) but they also cant see each other. I have tried hosting on each console. I have not tried with a crossover cable direct between two consoles but I may try that next but it is suggested I can use a router or switch with up to 16 consoles at once (game dependant) I have also only tried one game (COD ghosts) but I may try another. cheers jono Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is the solution to your problem.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I checked, that isnt how networks are generally set up. It should work with consoles using wifi and/or ethernet, or a mix thereof as long as they are in the same subnet. Link creates a VPN connection to the server, and forwards system link to there, so all of the consoles on link are technically on the same network. As to why the op is having issues, all I can say is that is hard to say while knowing absolutely nothing about your network setup, which I wouldnt want you to post on a public forum.

Regular LAN parties, aka without LiNK, you can not mix the connections.. the hell if i know why haha.. m$ even tells you that u cant.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
professor_jonny 35 Posted May 20, 2018 As soon as I created an adhock network or plugged them in with lan it all just worked, but it wont work with our house setup one is wired to the main router the other is wifi to a router wired to the main router and the other is wifi to the main router. so it all works but it definatly does not liked mixed connections. Ill add a request to addlocal lan partys to linkso we could possibly use mixed networks ? it does say you cant have mixed networks which seems silly.
