Title: Lan option
Post by: dtruesdale on Saturday, August 31, 2013, 10:25:24 AM: I know with the original AAO we could join lan games by just giving the ip, is there a way we could do this with assist?

But i think you mean spanky ville offline map. But i forgot how it Works. Im Not sure but try Open Assist and search in the Training Maps for Spanky ville Map Join and tipe in Console "Open.66.666.666.666:6666" for Exampel.

I think this is what you searching for.
next time search for the search- button!

Wrong!! and I did search.......Sir..........This option is not without Auth this was an option to join a server on your lan that was internet accessed. Meaning you are local lan to the server everyone else is coming from the internet. So if you host a server on your local lan you can access it and play or admin without issue. PB and auth all work as is. Sorry you tried to poke but you really stepped in it.

A bunch of Auth related tasks is done by the Assist Client when you click join.

I honestly don't know where your issue lies. I often host a server on my home server and connect to it via LAN and had no issues with it. It worked not long ago and I only have 1716, 1717 and 1718 open on my router. With Assist, the communication goes out into the world and then comes back in for LAN since your server's external IP is reported to Assist.
