You've not told us anything about how your network is setup so we are a little in the dark here?
Are you using static IP Addresses on your PCs or DHCP dynamic IP Addresses ?

If you open a Terminal from the Main Mint Menu, can you ping any of the other machines on your network ?
If you are not sure how they are setup can you please type this command in the terminal and paste the results back here for me to look at:

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a
Do this on each of the Linux machines please.
Please also let me know what ports the game you are playing uses and if it needs some kind of server process running to be able to connect to it?

Once we have a little more information from you I'm sure we will be able to help.

Mike.
