Just a quick question, a little interested on how about i could get a lan server working without the use of internet. I've surfed the web but have found nothing.. quite so specific. I've ran into every option including Ad-hoc, port forwarding, using my smartphone, ethernet cables, bringing a router.. etc. So. Lets say i wanted to play halo ce (old, but still good :D) with four friends on a lan server, but we don't have access to internet. how could i go about this? Thanks for help in advance.

Just checking, sometimes people don't understand these things. Get whatever computer you have with the server and plug it into a switch (or router). Then it's just a matter of connecting by entering the IP address of the computer serving the game.
