| How to Play Marathon over a LAN on Classic Macs |
Posted by: codingitwrong on 2023-12-04 06:06:38
I played Marathon over LAN back in the day, but I was having trouble getting it working this year: the machines could not see each other.
The fix was simple: I had to use the AppleTalk control panel to configure AppleTalk to run over Ethernet. Once I did that, the machines could see one another.
I wanted to post this here in case anyone else searches for this. I also wrote it up in more detail with screenshots in a blog post in case it helps anyone googling for it: https://codingitwrong.com/2023/12/04/marathon-infinity-lan
Any corrections/additions from folks more knowledgeable than me about networking are welcome! |

On some computers running pre-Open Transport, you may need to do this in the Network control panel instead of AppleTalk. |

I'd like to credit you by forum name in the blog post, but let me know if you'd prefer for me not to. (Same for if anyone else has suggestions in the thread.) |

Thanks for the mention of Aleph One on your site. Just a note: bungie.org is not run by Bungie! They're fine with the serial number being posted, as they have released all of the trilogy to play gratis, but they did not post it. Bungie's site is bungie.net |
