Hello people

I would like to how to set up a multiplayer game in Age Of Emires 2 so that my friend and me only can play it.I have a BSNL " 2Mbps " connection and the other guy also has a broadband connection (from You formerly Iqara) with a speed of 2Mbps.

I've heard of terms like 'ping' and 'latency' etc. but couldn't make much out of it.What do they mean ?

Also how much of bandwidth will be used up for about an hours play ?

You can use Hamachi for creatung a virtual lan. In an hour's play, approximately 40-50 Mb will be used up, but this is highly variable, depending on game to game.
