&gt; Is it true that the game would only need to be installed on 1 PC and that<br />
&gt;&nbsp;I would not need to install it on any of the other PCs?<br />

I know with all versions of Doom it had to be installed on each machine. Isn't Quake made by id, also?

I don't find anywhere that says Quake doesn't need to be installed on all of them. For playing across a network, all players need to connect to one computer that acts as the server, though. &nbsp;Maybe that's what you're referring to?<br />

What version of Quake, btw?

How to set up a LAN for gaming (Quake)

Computer games are video games played on a personal computer, mobile device or video game console. Their defining characteristics include a lack of any centralized controlling authority, a greater degree of user control over the video-gaming hardware and software used and a generally greater capacity in input, processing, and output.

Computer Games

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
