We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Make sure you both let hoi2.exe through Windows Firewall if using Windows XP with SP2. Otherwise, I'd check following things on your place:
- check physical connectivity (cable, hub/switch), does it work? good, let's continue
- are both of you on the same ip subnet? check ip address of your and your mate's computer by typing "ipconfig /all" in the command prompt. Subnet mask must be the same as well as ip address portion defined by the mask. If you don't know what does it mean, I could elaborate on demand.
- are you able to play other games via LAN?
- unblock hoi2 on local firewall on both computers
