Well, it depends on what system you are. But normally, you just have to double-click on the gametable.jar or the gametable.bat to launch it. As it is a java application, to run it, you must have a Java Runtime Environment installed. If you are on XP, MacOSX or Linux, you normally have it. Windows 2K and before doesn't automatically include Java. So you'll have to download and install it. If you don't have Java installed on your system, you can get it here: java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.html(Click the link that starts with "Download JRE") I hope it helps.

Normally, it should launch the program. Does it also happen when you double-click the gametable.bat?

It should be the .bat From Gametable forum: To launch, for Windows users, double-click "Gametable.bat". For everyone else, just double-click "Gametable.jar".

It is a pleasure. If you have questions, just ask, I have become a Gametable addict.

I don't think there is a help file, but there are Q&A on the forum. gametable.galactanet.com/forum/Normally, the host sends his IP adress to the other players that then join on that IP. There is sometimes problems (with all virtual table programs) to connect. The two most frequent errors are: -you are behind a firewall that doesn't let people reach you, so you have to disconnect it or (better) tell it to accept exchange on the port used by the program. -you are behind a router, you have to forward the connection from the router port to the computer port edit: port 6812 by default Those problems are only for the host (lucky guy), not for those who join. I have not used it often online (just to experiment), I generally use Gametable as a display in my face to face games. You can have a try at hosting by simply launching two instances of Gametable on your computer, the first hosting, the second joining.
