How do I know my local IP adress?
Your IP adress will be automatically detected and will be displayed on top-right corner of the main menu.
If it's not displayed, you'll have to get manually your local IP adress.
Launch cmd.exe from the Start menu. Type ipconfig. Note the IP adress mentionned as 'IPv4 adress'. It's your local IP!
How do I know my distant IP adress (for online playing)?
Your IP adress will be automatically detected and will be displayed on top-right corner of the main menu.
If it's not displayed, you'll have to get manually your distant IP adress.
Go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and copy the adress it gives you.
We can't get connected!
Windows will probably try to block the network when you play for the first time.
Hit Alt+Tab on the host computer and allow tinywhitestones.exe in your firewall settings.
If you did so but the game still doesn't work, try quiting and restarting the game.
