What my friend and i were planning was to play NFS most wanted over LAN.
Now i really have no idea how we gonna do this :(
We both hv broadband connections but no information as how to play against each other over LAN.
Any help ?

Thats wot im asking. There are 2 options in the main menu of game

LAN PLAY
and
ONLINE PLAY

For online play we need EA account but for LAN play it does not asks for any username and simply starts searching for LAN servers.
Also u get option to create a server.

to make a lan server u have to be connected to each other thru one router

for online play u can be connected thru internet .. thts not possible coz this feature requires genuine copies of NFS .. right??

& im sure ur frnd must be far away from u & u wont be able to make a LAN ..

If you both have unlimited connection then use hamachi.
Don't bug me about it search net it will help you too play NFS but you need to have diffirent cd-keys to play.

Hamachi 'emulates' LAN using internet.

^^dunno what you are talking about.
Just make a server using hamachi....ask your frind to join your server using hamachi.......Both start your games......select LAN......then play on.It is pretty simple but sometimes IP's need to be resolved and blah and blah.

what i m saying is .. windows remote login is also a VPN client & creates a secure lan conxn between 2 comps with internet internet.

so WIN REMOTE LOGIN is just like HAMACHI .. & he can use WIN REMOTE LOGIN instead of hamachi .. is tht right ??

I don't know.....I have only used hamachi and it works flawlessly for me.....and besides hamachi is made for gaming.
