you can find a guide in the tutorials & howtos forum. You need to make a server from your iwn and connect to it, or you can play on more than 1 pc on a LAN.
About your son... I think he would be more fun playing online on EQEMU, remember that you dont need to pay a fee (and you can play happier

Anything else.
See you.
