Setting up the LAN

Mmm today was the day we were to set up and test the lan with Age of Empires and Minecraft

Only 3 people brought their laptops to class.  One of which has not had Java updated for along while and therefore  was unable to take part in the Alpha test.

The group connected the machines via  a procurve switch.  This was a good option but we had problems as one of the cables was found to be defective.

Once Minecraft was set up and connected, the hunger games mod was installed and tested.

Problems that were encountered was that the map could be destroyed only by the creator of the map
No lag was noticed.
