\b0 \cf0 Multiplayer games require an internet connection or a local network using TCP/IP. The most convenient way to locate other players is by using the free online gaming service GameRanger. To learn more about GameRanger, look in the GameRanger Support folder on the CD, or {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://../GameRanger%20Support/GameRanger%20Read%20Me"}}{\fldrslt \cf2 \ul \ulc2 click here}}.

\fs28 If you choose not to use GameRanger, you can still play multiplayer games. To do so, one player (the Host) creates a game by pressing the Create button in Age of Empires II. Other players press the Join button. They will then be required to enter the TCP/IP address of the Host. An example of a TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.1. You can determine your TCP/IP address by using the Network preference panel in OS X.
