play games via local LAN all night at my friends

I dunno what it was like for everyone else but it always felt like 90% of my time during these was trying to sort out compatability issues and so we'd end up just pissing around. Still great fun that I look back fondly on though!

Two days of installing and bug fixing, half a day of gaming.

If you did it with the same friends more often, you got into the groove and everyone had the correct crossover cables, and the setup memorised.

But there Was always that one guy that never got it running.

Yeah, same when we were still using those old style cables, the one where you have the T plugs to put everyone on the line. Once we switched to the newer cables it went better.
