Neverwinter Nights on a LAN?

[Taurus]

there're three of us sittin here, all with the game installed and we refuse to believe that there is no way to play this game on a LAN.

has anyone done this? if we have to set a dedicated server, how do we join? there has to be a way to do this because we see it mentioned on websites and such, but no explanation on how to get it running.

I think your answer may be in here somewhere:

Does this work?

How do you start a multiplayer game but not have to launch GameSpy?

Well use a command line shortcut. Here's how:
Right click and create new shortcut of the desktop icon you use to start NWN
Now right click and go to it's properties.
In the command line, insert this command : 'C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect IPadress +password Here'
Replace 'IPadress' by the IP number (ex:192.168.0.1) of the server and replace 'Here' by the password needed to connect you to server.
That's it. Now when you want to play that server just double click the shortcut and you're ready to play

i thought with a lan, one person acted as dungeon master and the rest connected to him to play the module.

it can't be hard.
