Hi guys, may i know if we can play Dota on Macbook with LAN port?

What i mean is normally 3 of my frenz and i playin Dota on LAN using Router to connect

to 4 laptops....................also with IP. Which we need to install the Protocal in the Local Area Connection Properties.

Does OSX have this settings? Can we play LAN? Pls advice and thx for the time guys.


FYI, im using Toshiba M100 (without GPU). Decided to change laptop to either Apple

Macbook or HP DV6000.

Sorry if my questions are not so clear..................

Im using genuine Warcraft BattleChest.

most ppl will install windows on their macbook...
my housemate install windows just to play dota on his macbook... lol

Haha..........thx for fast reply. Yup, thats wat in my mind now.

But does installing Windows XP take lots of space? Cos Macbook have only 80 GB, pls correct me if wrong.

You can choose how much space to set aside for XP using Boot Camp. Just dedicate 15GB to make sure you have space for more games if you choose to continue using XP. Then again, can't you get WC3 + FT for Mac OS X? :\

I see, wow.............Then Mac is so convinient then......

Bro yetieater, dont understand your last sentence, "Then again, can't you get WC3 + FT for Mac OS X? :\"

Do you mean my genuine BattleChest cant be use on Mac? And I should purchase new one for Mac?

What I mean to say is that it might not be at all necessary to use Windows XP to do your gaming. I think you should be able to install your WC3 Battlechest in Mac OS X. You're bound to have plenty of control over connection settings in OS X.

yupe.....Warcraft III can install on both mac n pc on the same disc...that mean u dont need to buy another version for Mac

and the latest patch 1.21a fix the issue of mac-intel running Warcraft III...so i think u wont have any problem playing dota on OSX or windows...

LAN is same in both OSX n Windows, u could set it urself....just the file sharing different...i still donno how to fix the issue of sharing file with my fren's mac...

I've partitioned 32GB for XP coz I'm a heavy windows user. After the space taken by OSX and other apple applications, it leaves me with about 12GB of free space running in Mac. Is this enuf to really download other stuff and enjoy the features in Mac? Guess you can't have the best of both..

Thx for the opinion guys........ i really appreciate it. Will be goin to MV to survey MB n HP DV6000.

Might get DV6000 cos need to use AutoCAD n 3Dmax. Actually i've finish my

degree courses and start working. So my co. is using both of these app.

Im a QS actually...... But hope MB will suit for my work.

Quite heavy task le.. MB don't suit you cos' of GMA950. Suggest get MBP if you do want to get apple product.

U might wanna look at Cider if u would like to run Win based games on Os X~!

15GB boleh ke?? hmm.. my friend's MB having issues with winxp hal.dll error after installing....
saw alot of forum mentioning the same thing...
need partition to at least 32gb tho...
seiously i have no idea why ...

Wow, thx a lot for the info and advice guys.......... will be heading to MV after this.

Cos MBP is over my budget................so i think i'll buy myself HP DV 6000.

Cos need the laptop for workin and some gaming..... Actually when im studyin, thinkin

of getting MB after graduate for workin............haha.... But with the MB integrated GPU,

its quite difficult to run both of the Autocad n 3dMax.

Well, will let u guys know the results of my survey.

Maybe Mac Mini end of the yr.

Thx again guys.

Same here. Or maybe you can try wait for the upgraded version of MB. It *might* or *might not* have new version MB with "santa rosa" platform. That's what i waiting for right now.

you could always go for DV6000 series...its cheap and anytime more powerful than mb...

come over to my thread to check it out....

"click on my dv6205tx and you can access it"

Ok guys................ bk from MV. Decided to go for HP DV6000 series.

I think it would be more suitable for my work and some gaming purposes.

Moving to DV 6000 series threads now. Thx guys.

Blah , you will regret using Winblows machine !
