Programs for creating a home network. Programs for games on the Internet and local network

Tunngle is an application for creating a virtual local network over the Internet. Using the program, you can play any games online that support multiplayer via a LAN connection.

To start using the Tunngle program, you need to register on the official website and select a subscription. Next, you can create your own server or connect to an existing one. In Tunngle, all available games are conveniently grouped by genre and by the number of players online.

For communication inside Tunngle there is a chat room, including for Russian-speaking players. In addition to text messages, you can send any file to your interlocutor. You can also create your own contact list or blacklist.

Tunngle allows you to create your own private network. It is locked with a password and will not be visible to other users. The private network is ideal for chatting or playing with friends.

The main advantages of the Tunngle program

Ability to play any game that supports multiplayer mode.
Displays all available games, grouped by genre (shooters, strategy, role-playing, etc.).
Supports up to 255 players in one game room (popular games have several such rooms).
The ability to create a private network, closed from other users.
Static IP support.
Proprietary data transfer protocol ensures high gaming performance.
Protecting your computer from unauthorized access.
Customization of the program (choice of color theme, cover, etc.).
Simple and convenient user interface.
Russian language support.

Despite the fact that Tunngle has some paid features (for example, disabling ads), the program can be downloaded completely free of charge and you can use its main features.

Local network or on the Internet.

To connect users to each other, additional programs are used, which are impossible to do without.

The reasons for using special utilities are:

Playing over the Internet is not supported, but only in local mode. To organize a multiplayer game, a network on the Internet is first formed between several computers, and only after that you can start a session.
– “black”, so there is no access to the computer via the Internet. The reason is that the provider providing the output does not have “white” Internet access. Here you will need software.
IP addresses, which leads to inconvenience, since many toys require an address to be used. Therefore, we must constantly enter new data. To solve this problem, special utilities described below are used.

GameRanger

The program is a platform for playing games over a local network in a virtual environment

When installing the application, you must register an account. To do this, you need to indicate a valid email so that friends can easily find the player.

Download the application from the official website and install it on your computer.
Create a room using the Host button indicating the number of seats. In order for other players to be able to leave the room or server at any time and return later to continue the game, you must check the allowlatejoiners line.
If the Host user clicks on start, then the game will start for all players and the local menu will automatically open.
The Host user can add as friends those with whom he wants to play on the local network by finding an e-mail through the search.

Using the free version of the program for playing over a local network, the user can bookmark fifty of his friends to always know who is online.

Tungle

This application is used by users to play over the Internet

It unites tens of thousands of players from different countries into one toy network, which is divided into groups. Tungle allows friends to play online, no matter what country they live in. There is a feeling that friends are sitting next to each other.

The advantage of Tangle is the presence of a game chat for communicating and transferring files, a Don"tPanic button, designed to provide assistance in launching a specific toy.

The utility works in the seventh, eighth and XP Windows OS

This application has separate rooms for each game for 256 people, each of whom can start their own copy of the toy, the rest can connect to it locally. Tangle has all the popular and not so popular toys (see screenshot).

The application easily remembers player rooms that have a chat that allows you to conduct a dialogue with all players on the network. The online gaming program Tangle is an excellent alternative to GameRanger, as it is used by more than seven million people from all over the world.

LanGame

This is a program to play online for people on different networks

The game is played using Langame, even if this feature is not present in it. The program has a simple interface that even children can understand. She works with many toys. To use the application you do not need an Internet connection.

If the user is using a specific provider's internet connection with his friends. In network games mode, they cannot see each other, so installing this utility will help solve this problem.

To do this you need:

Download the program and install it on your computer device.
Turn off the Windows firewall and add your friends' IP addresses to the application.
Launch the toy.

Enable network mode so users can see and interact with each other. Using the application, the toy will have a multi-user mode.

With the advent of high-speed Internet, this application is losing relevance, since you can interact with friends from other localities in the toy even with a low kick, in the absence of a local connection. Some users still love and appreciate LAN games.

You can download the utility from the official website along with a bonus - a free high-speed scanner for the local network that checks the availability of game servers.

Hamachi

Hamachi is a local network program

It is used free of charge to create a local network even by those users who have a “white” IP. Computers can connect on the Internet to form a local network without actually connecting to routers and servers. Hamachi has few competitors worthy of users' attention.

Hamachi's capabilities are very large. Almost all applications that run in local environments can run in virtual machines created by this program. In secure mode, data is transferred and exchanged using peer-to-peer technology. In these networks, computers communicate through an intermediary, who searches and initializes them, and data transfer occurs directly from one computer (node) to another.

To run the program, you must do the following:

Install it on your desktop.
To start, click on the LogMeInHamachi icon.
In the main menu, find and click on Inclusions.
Create a network by selecting the appropriate command and entering its name. You need to enter the password twice and click on the Create command.
Tell your friends the name of the virtual machine that appears on the list.
Connect to it by clicking network - connect - enter your ID and password - connect.
After completing the steps, users can play local games
in this virtual machine.

The listed programs do not contain the names of other applications used in games for the local network. No GameArcade or Garena apps. Their popularity is constantly falling, and they are giving way to other programs.

The principle of creating a local network in any version of Windows (XP, 7, 8, 10) is practically nothing is not different. Exceptions are complex multi-level corporate networks, where several subnets, proxy servers and VPNs are used.

But in this article we will look at how to create home network without resorting to purchasing expensive equipment, but using a regular switch or router with Wi-Fi support.

What is needed to create a network

First of all, to create a local network of a certain number of computers, we need equipment:

note: if a direct connection is used (i.e. we insert a twisted pair cable into both devices without using a router), then you will need not a standard cable, but cross— over, except when modern network cards with MDI-X support are installed. In this case, you can use the standard crimping method.

How to create a local network

Now let's proceed directly to creation. First we need to prepare:

Install all equipment in its place - computers, routers, etc.
We crimp cable, if necessary.
Let's do wiring, i.e. we extend the twisted pair to the equipment.
Connecting twisted pair equipment.

Costs note, that when the connection is made and all devices are started, the connection connectors on the computers should shine. The same applies to routers with routers, only they have light bulbs located on front panel. If any light is not lit, then the connection has been made. wrong.

When the connection is made, you need to configure the network in the operating system.

To start checking working group, for which we go to properties " My computer" You don’t have to open the properties, but use the combination Win+ R and enter in the window sysdm. cpl.

On all devices working group must be is the same, otherwise the computers will not see each other.

To change the group, just click on the button change and enter the group name. Name must be entered Latin alphabet, and match on all devices.

Then we look for network icon in the notification area and with its help we get to Network and Sharing Center.

Here we are interested in the link change additional parameters, it's third from the left and will allow you to edit sharing settings. In each profile we select: Enable network discovery, auto-tuning And general access to files and printers.

Scrolling page and below turn off shared access with password protection. All other settings can be left. Click Save changes and exit.

This completes the setup. The network should work, but only if your router distributes dynamic addresses.

If you used a router, or the devices were connected directly with a cable, then you need to make a few more settings.

Network settings

When direct connection or using a router, we need change IP addresses of computers. For this necessary:

We will not describe what each setting is responsible for, because... This is quite a large topic. It is enough to enter the addresses described above on all computers.

After making all the above settings, the network should work. However, do not forget that a firewall or antivirus software can completely block the network. Therefore, if nothing works, check their settings or temporarily disable them altogether.

Local network via WiFi router

Setting up a network through a router is absolutely nothing is not different from what we described above.

If the device is configured to distribute dynamic addresses, then there is no need to change the addresses. Well, what if IP people static, then you will have to use the previous section.

Also, there will be no difference between whether the device is connected by cable or via Wi-Fi; in most routers, the settings for distributing addresses are configured simultaneously and wireless and on wired connection.

How to make shared folders

After everything is configured, you need to create shared folders for information exchange.

However, this is not yet enough. Now on the folder properties window you need to find the bookmark safety. And then press successively Change – Add.

Greetings to all readers.

Most computer games (even those that came out 10 years ago) support multiplayer play: either over the Internet or over a local network. This, of course, is good, if not for one “but” - in many cases it will not be possible to connect to each other without using third-party programs.

There are many reasons for this:

For example, the game does not support playing over the Internet, but there is support for local mode. In this case, you must first organize such a network between two (or more) computers on the Internet, and then start the game;

Lack of a “white” IP address. It's more about organizing Internet access by your provider. Often in this case it is impossible to do without using software at all;

The inconvenience of constantly changing the IP address. Many users have a dynamic IP address that is constantly changing. So, in many games you need to specify the IP address of the server, and if the IP changes, you have to constantly enter new numbers. To avoid this, special tools will come in handy. programs…

In fact, we’ll talk about such programs in this article.

GameRanger

Supports all popular versions of Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8 (32/64 bits)

GameRanger is one of the most popular programs for playing games on the Internet. Supports all the most popular games, among them there are all the hits that I simply could not help but mention in this review:

Age of Empires (The Rise of Rome, II, The Conquerors, Age of Kings, III), Age of Mythology, Call of Duty 4, Command & Conquer Generals, Diablo II, FIFA, Heroes 3, Starcraft, Stronghold, Warcraft III.

In addition, there is simply a huge community of players from all over the World: more than 20,000 - 30,0000 users online (even in the morning/night hours); about 1000 created games (rooms).

During installation of the program, you will need to register by indicating your work email (this is mandatory, you will need to confirm your registration, and if you forget your password, you will not be able to recover your account).

After the first launch, GameRanger will automatically find all installed games on your PC and you will be able to see games created by other users.

By the way, it is very convenient to look at the server ping (marked with green bars:): the more green bars, the better the quality of the game will be (less lags and errors).

In the free version of the program, you can add 50 friends to your bookmarks - then you will always know who is online and when.

Works in: Windows XP, 7, 8 (32+64 bits)

A rapidly gaining popularity program for organizing online games. The principle of operation is somewhat different from GameRanger: if you go into a created room there, and then the server starts the game; then here each game already has its own rooms for 256 players - each player can launch their own copy of the game, and the rest can connect to it as if they were on the same local network. Comfortable!

By the way, the program contains all the most popular (and not popular) games, for example, here’s a screenshot of the strategies:

Thanks to such room lists, you can easily find friends for many games. By the way, the program remembers “your rooms” that you entered. In addition, each room has a good chat that allows you to negotiate with all the players on the network.

Result: a good alternative to GameRanger (and perhaps GameRanger will soon be an alternative to Tungle, because Tungle is already used by more than 7 million players around the world!).

Of. website: http://www.langamepp.com/langame/

Full support for Windows XP, 7

This program was once unique in its kind: nothing simpler and faster to set up could simply be found. LanGame allows people from different networks to play games where such an option is not provided. And for this you don’t need an Internet connection!

Well, for example, you and your friends are connected to the Internet through the same provider, but in online game mode, you cannot see each other. What to do?

Install LanGame on all computers, then add each other’s IP addresses to the program (don’t forget to turn off the Windows firewall) - then all you have to do is start the game and try to turn on the online game mode again. Oddly enough - the game will start multiplayer mode - i.e. you will see each other!

Although, with the development of high-speed Internet, this program is losing its relevance (because even with players from other cities you can play with a very low ping, despite the lack of a local connection) - and yet, in narrow circles it can still be popular for a long time.

Hamachi

Works in Windows XP, 7, 8 (32+64 bits)

Hamachi was once a very popular program for organizing a local network over the Internet, used in many games for multiplayer mode. Moreover, there were very few worthy competitors.

Today, Hamachi is more needed as an “insurance” program: not all games are supported by GameRanger or Tungle. Sometimes, some games are so “capricious” due to the lack of a “white” IP address or the presence of NAT devices - that there are simply no alternatives to playing through Hamachi!

Overall, a simple and reliable program that will be relevant for a long time. Recommended for all fans of rare games and those connected to the Internet through “problematic” providers.

Alternative programs for playing online

Yes, of course, my list of 4 programs above did not include many popular programs. However, I was based, firstly, on those programs with which I had experience working, and, secondly, in many of them the online players are too small to consider them seriously.

For example, Game Arcade- a popular program, however, in my opinion, its popularity has been falling for a long time. There is simply no one to play with in many games; the rooms stand empty. Although, for hits and popular games the picture is somewhat different.

Garena- also a fairly popular program for playing on the Internet. True, the number of supported games is not so large (at least in my repeated tests - many games could not be launched. It is possible that now the situation has changed for the better). As for hit games, the program has gathered a fairly large community (Warcraft 3, Call of Duty, Counter Strike, etc.).

That's all, I will be grateful for interesting additions...
