So, I've looked all over the forums but I really couldn't find any definitive answers. Apparently, you can create a lan server and connect to the lan server on the same PC, though, I can't distinctly figure out how this is done. I did read somewhere that you needed two exact same installations of Freelancer but that is as far as I got.
In the case that I am unable to create a lan server, say I want to set up a server the normal way on a different computer how exactly do I do that? I read something about modifying something for the IONCROSS but I did not wholly understand.
