   Wifi peer-to-peer networking tricks   
   27 Mar 20 20:45:56   
   
   Say there are 10 university students in a dorm, with Wifi laptops, who want to   
   play a multiplayer video game - how is this to be done? ie. their laptops   
   connected TOGETHER, so that they can play the game? Assume that they are not   
   connected to THE    
   internet, and there is no "central server" - if the game requires one, then   
   one of the laptops will have to be designated the one to run the "server   
   software", and the whole thing goes from there.   
   They'll be running Linux (smart people as they are :) ), but if one or 2 of   
   the laptops are Windoze, and you can explain that, THAT would be great as   
   well.... :)   
      
   How? :)   
      
      
      
   Thanx, dudes and dudettes :)
