If you’re like most gamers, you probably have a few games saved on your Xbox One that you’d love to play with friends. But if you want to set up a LAN connection and play those games together, it can be a bit of a hassle. Here’s how to do it:

  1. First, make sure that your Xbox One is connected to the internet. If not, go ahead and do that now.
  2. Once your Xbox One is connected to the internet, open the Settings menu and select Network.
  3. Under “Network Type,” select “Local Area Connection (LAN).”
  4. Under “Local Area Connection (LAN),” select “Create New Connection…” and enter the following information: Name: This should be something descriptive like “Xbox Live Local Play” or something similar Address: The IP address of your computer or other device that will be hosting the game server Port: The port number on your computer or other device that will be hosting the game server (usually 3478) Security Type: Select “Windows Authentication” if you want to use Windows authentication for this connection or “Basic Authentication” if you want to use basic authentication for this connection
  5. Click OK and then close the Settings menu.
  6. Now open up any game that you want to play online with friends and click on the multiplayer icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen (it looks like two people shaking hands). If everything goes according to plan, you should see a list of available players next to their names in blue text. Double-click on someone else’s name and then hit Join Game…
  7. You should now see yourself in whatever game they’re playing—just make sure that your Xbox One is set up properly so that everyone can hear each other properly! ..
